Groomingdales has been grooming dogs in Mariposa since 1989, and Sharon, the owner, still brings that hands-on experience to every appointment. It’s the kind of place where you can tell the staff actually knows what they’re doing — they’ve been doing this for decades. The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which makes it easy to fit in a grooming session when you’re traveling through the area.

They handle all breeds and sizes, from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers, so there’s no worried feeling about whether your dog will fit their wheelhouse. The place itself has a calm atmosphere — not chaotic or rushed, which matters a lot when you’re dropping off a dog who might be nervous about grooming. The staff knows that some dogs find the experience stressful, so they take time to keep things low-key and comfortable.

If you’re in Yosemite Mariposa County with your dog, Groomingdales is a practical stop after a few days of trail time and dirt. A bath and coat refresh can make a real difference, especially if your dog has been rolling around in the Sierras. It’s also worth asking the staff about local trails and parks they’d recommend — people who work with dogs in a place like this tend to have solid knowledge about what’s actually dog-friendly in the area.

The grooming services cover the basics: baths, haircuts, nail trims, and general maintenance. Nothing fancy or trendy here, just solid, reliable grooming. Sharon and her team approach it as work they care about, not a volume operation. Call ahead if you have specific requests or want to ask about their process, especially if your dog has any sensitivities or special needs. It’s the kind of local business that makes traveling with a dog easier when you’re passing through town.
