🫧 Compassion, Patience & Professional Grooming Since 2012 🫧

Petsburgh Grooming 🐕‍🦺 🐈 🦮 🐈‍⬛
2601 Brownsville Road • Carrick

For 14 years, Petsburgh Grooming has been more than a neighborhood pet salon, it has been a place where pets are treated with patience, compassion, and the individualized care they deserve.

Owner Brent, a Baldwin native and lifelong animal lover, opened Petsburgh with a vision of providing high-quality, affordable grooming for the families of Carrick and the surrounding communities. His passion for animals isn't limited to the workplace. At home, Brent shares his life with four cats, and that same love and respect for animals is evident in every appointment.

At Petsburgh, every pet is treated like family. The team believes grooming should never feel rushed or stressful, which is why they focus on creating a calm, gentle experience tailored to each animal's unique personality. Before every appointment, they take the time to listen to each owner's preferences while getting to know the pet's temperament, ensuring every visit is as comfortable and positive as possible.

With experience working with a wide variety of breeds, coat types, and grooming techniques, the knowledgeable staff is committed to helping pets not only look their best but feel their best. In addition to professional grooming services for both dogs and cats, Petsburgh also offers a small retail shop with products for local pet owners.

Over the years, Petsburgh has built its reputation the old-fashioned way, through exceptional care, word-of-mouth recommendations, and lasting relationships. Their consistent five-star reputation, loyal repeat customers, and countless referrals speak volumes about the trust they have earned throughout the community.

For Brent, one of the greatest rewards of owning Petsburgh has been becoming part of the fabric of Carrick. He enjoys getting to know his customers on a personal level and watching families return year after year with generations of beloved pets.

Reflecting on the past 14 years, Brent remains grateful for the support the community has shown his business.

"We owe it all to our customers for their support and loyalty. Because of them, we've been proud to serve this community for 14 years, and we look forward to being here for many more."

The Carrick Community Council is proud to recognize Petsburgh Grooming as the August 2026 Carrick Business Spotlight. Thank you, Brent, for your dedication, your kindness, and for helping keep Carrick's four legged family members healthy, happy, and looking their very best.

Congratulations to Petsburgh Grooming on 14 years of serving the Carrick community!
