Boca Dog HouseBoca Raton, FL

Solo grooming studio · By appointment

One groomer.
One dog
at a time.

Laura books a single dog per slot. Your dog arrives, gets groomed, and goes home — no crate wait, no rotation, no barking room. Drag the handle to see one of this week's doodles.

Not every dog needs a haircut.

Doodles come in for coat work. Short coats come in for a deep clean, nails and ears. Puppies come in just to learn the room isn't scary. Same slot, same attention.

Services

Everything the coat needs, in one sitting.

A doodle coat that goes six weeks without a proper brush-out mats at the roots. Laura works it out by hand where the coat can be saved, and shaves down only when the alternative would hurt.

FULL GROOM

Bath, dry, full haircut

Deep clean, hand-fluff dry, full-body scissor and clipper work, face shaped to the dog's structure, nails, ears, sanitary and paw pads.

Every 6–8 weeks for curly coats
TIDY

Bath & tidy-up

Full bath and dry, then a clean-up of the face, feet, sanitary and any spots that have gotten scruffy. Keeps the length between full grooms.

Good midpoint at week 3–4
SHORT COATS

Bath & skin care

For bullies, shar-pei mixes and anything smooth-coated. Deep clean, wrinkle and fold care, nails, ears, and a bandana on the way out.

Every 4–6 weeks
DE-SHED

De-shed treatment

For double coats. Bath, high-velocity dry, and undercoat removal that pulls out the loose layer without cutting the guard coat.

Pomeranians, retrievers, shepherds
MAT WORK

Mat rescue

Booked as a longer slot. Laura works matted sections out where the skin allows and shaves only where it doesn't — then tells you honestly which it was.

Needs to be booked ahead
FIRST TIME

Puppy introduction

A short, low-pressure first visit. Sounds, table, dryer, water, clippers on the body — so the real groom later isn't the scary one.

12 weeks and up, after shots

Pricing depends on size, coat type and condition — a matted 70 lb doodle is not the same job as a tidy cavachon. Send a recent photo and Laura will quote you before you book.

How a booking goes

Three steps, no surprises.

STEP ONE

Send a photo

Text or email a current photo of your dog plus roughly when they were last groomed. That's enough for Laura to price the job and tell you how long it will take.

STEP TWO

Pick your slot

You get a start time that belongs to your dog alone. Drop off, or stay for the first few minutes if your dog needs you there.

STEP THREE

Get the go-home text

When the groom is done you get a text with a photo and a note on anything Laura found — hot spots, ear buildup, a mat that's coming back. Pick up within the hour.

Laura & Max, 2026

Max's family drew this
and brought it in with him.
It's on the wall now.

Max is a standard poodle who comes every six weeks. Somewhere along the way his people stopped thinking of this as an errand. That's the whole point of taking one dog at a time — long enough with each dog that they know you, and you know them.

If your dog has had a bad experience somewhere else, say so when you book. Laura will plan the slot around it.

I'd rather do four dogs properly than twelve on a conveyor belt.

Laura runs Boca Dog House by herself. That's the whole business — no rotating staff, no handing your dog to whoever is free. The same person who takes your booking is the one holding the scissors, and she'll remember what your dog hated last time.

She works mostly with doodle and curly coats, which are the ones most likely to arrive matted and leave shaved when they didn't have to. Her default is to save the coat if the skin underneath can take the brushing, and to tell you plainly when it can't.

Booking

Send a photo,
get a real quote.

Text a current photo of your dog and roughly when they were last groomed. Laura will tell you what it needs, what it costs, and how long it takes — before you commit to anything.

Slots are limited because it's one dog at a time. Weekends fill first. Mat rescues need a few days of notice because they take a longer block.
