About Us
Passionate pet care professionals serving Portsmouth and surrounding areas
Our Story
Maroon-heath began in 2019 with a simple observation: many pets in Portsmouth struggled with the stress of traditional grooming salons. The car journey, the unfamiliar environment, the presence of other anxious animals — it all added up to a difficult experience for both pets and their owners.
We decided to flip the model entirely. By bringing professional grooming services directly to people's homes, we could keep pets calm and comfortable while delivering the same quality care they would receive at any top salon.
What started as a single groomer with a mobile kit has grown into a small team of dedicated professionals, all sharing the same commitment to gentle, patient, and thorough pet care.
What Drives Us
Every pet we meet has their own personality. Some bound up to us with excitement, others need time to sniff, observe, and decide we are trustworthy. We respect these differences completely.
Our approach centres on reading each animal's signals. If a dog needs a break, we pause. If a cat prefers to be groomed in short intervals, we adapt. This patience is not just kindness — it produces better results and builds lasting trust with the animals we serve.
We measure our success not just by how good a pet looks after grooming, but by how willingly they greet us at the next appointment.
Our Values
