Thank you for trusting us with your pets and voting us THE BEST groomers in the Kendall County area!

We love every pet we see and it shows through our work!

I started my business as the sole groomer at the start of the pandemic so I was able to spend more time with my family. I’ve always had a passion for animals so I turned that love into a life long career. I never expected to grow the way my business has, but I am very blessed to have expanded and to be able to offer the best quality and care to more people in the community. I love being able to work with others who share the same love and passion for animals as I do.

At Woof Clips we strive to give your fur baby the best experience and quality groom that we would want our own pets to receive. We give your pet our undivided attention by grooming them straight through start to finish to minimize time in the salon, which also makes for a less stressful environment. Our priority is to make pet parents feel at ease knowing that their furry family member is receiving the best love and care. We want our salon to be the place your pet is ecstatic to come to! We only use the best products and determine what products are best for your pet’s needs.
