Ellie's Pet Service

Ellie's Pet Service Home based style salon to give your pets the most relaxing and luxurious spa day. Hello my name is Ellie Harlow and I am a professional pet groomer.

I have been professionally grooming since 2015 and it is my pride and joy. Hours of operation: By appointment only. About me: I was born February 5th, 1996 and lived my life up in Northern Virginia. At a young age I was surrounded by all different kinds of animals. Dogs, Cats, Birds and Farm Animals. I am a HUGE animal lover! During high school I use to pet sit for friends and family when they we

nt away on vacation or a business trip. After I graduated from high school I moved to Culpeper, VA and went straight into pet grooming. It has always been a passion of mine to work with animals. I graduated from a pet grooming school in Virginia called Canine Clippers School of Pet Grooming. I will admit it was hard work but I never hated what I was doing. I worked long and hard to get where I am today. Looking into getting my certification soon. About Business: I started my home pet grooming business in 2015. I have built a beautiful salon in my home that way your pet will get more of a home vibe rather then a busy shop.

✨🐾 A Little Nail Magic Goes a Long Way 🐾✨

Those claws may be giving tiny werewolf energy, but your pup’s paws deserve better than being left to summon chaos across the kitchen floor. 😂🌙

Take a peek at this before & after — because regular nail trims aren’t just about making those paws look cute. They help keep your dog comfortable, balanced, and moving the way nature intended. When nails get too long, they can start changing how your dog stands and walks. And no, we are not trying to manifest sore toes, strained joints, or curled talons from the underworld.

❌Skip nail maintenance and you may summon:
• Uncomfortable walking or standing
• Changes in posture and gait
• Extra pressure on toes and joints
• Snagged, cracked, split, or broken nails
• Nails curling toward—or even into—the paw pads
• Less traction on slippery floors
• Overgrown quicks, making it harder to safely shorten the nails later

✅ Keep up with regular trims and you get:
• Happier, more comfortable paws
• Better traction and paw placement
• Healthier movement and posture
• Less risk of painful nail injuries
• Nails that are much easier to manage
• A better chance of gradually encouraging long quicks to recede
• And paws that look considerably less like they belong to a forest cryptid

🔮 The magic number? About every 2–4 weeks for most dogs.
Staying on a regular nail schedule helps prevent those nails—and their quicks—from getting wildly overgrown in the first place.

And before anyone says, "But I don't have time..." 👀
Most nail appointments only take about 10–15 minutes! Sometimes they’re even quicker when your pup is feeling cooperative and decides not to channel their inner possessed gremlin that day. 😅️🐾

If your dog’s nails are already super long, don’t expect them to go from dragon talons to dainty little paws in one visit. The quick grows with the nail, so safely getting them shorter may take several consistent appointments.
No cursed rituals required—just a little routine maintenance. 🕯️✂️

Your dog walks on those paws every single day, so give those toes the care they deserve. 💜

🌙🐾 Don't wait until you hear the click-click-click of impending doom across the floor. Keep those claws under control and get your pup on a regular 2–4 week nail schedule! 🖤✨

✨🐾 I’M BAAAACK! 🐾✨

The road trip is officially over, the suitcase has been dumped, the snacks have been demolished, and I have returned to my natural habitat: covered in dog hair with clippers in hand. 😂✂️🐶
I’m officially back in the salon and ready to pamper, fluff, scrub, trim, deshed, and make all your adorable little gremlins ✨fancy✨ again. 💅🐾
BUT—tiny scheduling heads-up! 📢
I’ll be sneaking away again September 8th–13th for a much-needed beach vacation. 🏖️🌊☀️
So if your pooch is due for a spa day around that time, I highly recommend getting on my schedule before I trade my grooming table for a beach chair and start pretending I’m a professional seashell collector. 😂🐚
Until then… BRING ME THE POOCHES!
I have missed their furry faces, questionable life choices, dramatic nail-trim reactions, and the absurd amount of hair they somehow produce. 🤣❤️🐾

ROAD TRIP MODE: ACTIVATED! 🚗💨✌️

The grooming salon is officially CLOSED August 8–15th while I trade dog hair, dryers, and nail clippers for highways, snacks, questionable gas station decisions, and a little adventure. 😂

I’ll be back August 16th, refreshed, recharged, and ready to make your furry little goblins ✨fancy✨ again. 🐶✂️

If you message me while I’m gone, don’t worry—I’m not ignoring you… I’m probably just somewhere yelling, “OOOH LOOK, COWS!” out the car window. 🤣🐄

See y’all when I get back! ❤️🐾

✨🔮 10 YEARS OF GROOMING MAGIC 🔮✨

Well, well, well… look who's been turning scruffy little goblins into polished, pampered familiars for 10 whole years. 🐾🖤

This month marks 10 years in business, and I am feeling so incredibly grateful for every pup, every client, every wagging tail, every "please fix this haircut," every dramatic bath-time opera, and every magical makeover I've been trusted with over the years.

From tiny gremlins to giant floofs, nervous nellies to spicy little werewolves, seniors, special needs pups, and every enchanted creature in between—thank you for letting me be part of your dogs’ lives. 🐶✨

Running a home-based, one-on-one grooming salon has allowed me to give each dog a calmer, more personalized experience, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. Just me, your pup, luxury products, a little patience, a little sass, and a whole lot of grooming witchcraft. 🛁🌙

To my amazing clients: Thank you for supporting my small business, trusting me with your babies, recommending me, cheering me on, and keeping my appointment book full of adorable chaos.

Here's to 10 years of clean paws, cute cuts, shiny coats, dog-safe sparkle, fabulous accessories, and making pups look like they just stepped out of a magical forest photoshoot. 🪄🐾

Cheers to a decade of grooming magic—and many more years of turning beasts into beauties. ✂️✨

With love, gratitude, and a little bit of witchy nonsense,
Ellie 🖤

Shiloh’s post-spa glow is too cute not to show off. 🐶✨ She came in shaggy and dirty and left fluffy, clean, and looking absolutely adorable. ✨🐾 This sweet Goldendoodle got her full groom package, including a nail trim, ear cleaning, bath, cream rinse, blow dry, brush out, and haircut. She had the start of some mats on her ears, muzzle, and tail, but since they weren’t tight to the skin and she was comfortable letting me work through them, I was able to carefully brush them out and keep those areas nice and fluffy. Shiloh just celebrated her 10th birthday on April 26th, and while grooming can get a little harder as our pups age, she is still doing pretty well and was such a sweet girl for her spaw day. She left so soft, so fresh, and so precious. 💕

Meet Simba! Simba came in for his spa day and reminded everyone that grooming is not one-size-fits-all. 🐶✨🐾 This handsome Cane Corso mix came in as a new client for his spa bath package, and while grooming is still a very scary experience for him, he made some good progress today. He struggles with fear aggression, so today was all about safety, patience, and going very slow at his pace. For safety, he wore a basket muzzle, which still allows him to pant and breathe comfortably while I work with him. I made the professional decision to skip his nail trim because he was becoming too stressed, but by staying calm, moving slowly, and working at his pace, I was able to get him properly bathed, desheded, blow-dried, and brushed out. Dogs like Simba need patience, understanding, and someone who knows when to slow down and when not to push. Simba deserves exactly that. He really is a sweet boy, and I believe with time, consistency, and safe handling, he may grow more comfortable with grooming and feel a little less scared about it. 💙

Ziggy’s glow-up is always a favorite. 🐶✨ He came in for his spaw day haircut and left looking as handsome as ever. ✂️🐾 I’ve been grooming this sweet Shorkie since he was just a puppy, and getting to watch him grow up has truly been the best. Because he deals with allergies and dry skin, he stays very short and gets clean poodle feet to help keep those little paws nice and clean. For his full groom, he got a nail trim, ear cleaning, bath, cream rinse, blow dry, brush out, and haircut, finished off with a yellow necktie and Barkkar cologne picked out by his owner. Such a handsome little guy. Fresh, comfy, and ridiculously cute. 💛

Meet Skittles. 🐾✨ This sweet Havanese girl came in as a new client for her full groom spaw day and left looking fluffy, polished, and absolutely stunning. At just one year old, she’s still a puppy and still learning that grooming isn’t so scary. She was definitely nervous and anxious at first, but by going slowly and at her pace, she was able to relax more and more as the appointment went on. By the end, she felt so comfortable that she actually laid down and fell asleep while I scissored her head. 💕 Her finishing touches were a floral bandana and lavender vanilla perfume. Miss Skittles left fluffy, fresh, and prancing around like she knew she looked fabulous. 💖
