We started Paws on Wheels to make grooming less stressful — for dogs and owners alike
Sarah Mendez
Founder & Lead Groomer
Austin native and certified groomer with 12 years of experience. Sarah launched Paws on Wheels in 2019 after noticing how stressful traditional salon visits were for dogs — and their owners. She holds an IPG certification and is Fear Free trained.
She's groomed over 8400+ dogs since launching and has built Paws on Wheels on a simple idea: dogs deserve to be groomed in a calm, private, stress-free space — and that space should come to them.

One dog at a time, always. No cage drying, no other animals, no chaos.
Consistent quality
Same groomer for every visit when possible. Your dog builds familiarity and trust.
Real credentials
IPG certified, insured, and licensed. Not a hobbyist — a professional service you can rely on.
