FAQs

What services does Molly’s Pampered Paws offer?

We offer full-service dog grooming, mobile grooming for dogs and cats, overnight dog and cat boarding, day boarding, and doggy daycare. Services vary by location, so visit our Services page to see what is available at Arrington, Smithville, Woodbury, and through our mobile grooming units.

Where are your locations?

We have a grooming, boarding, and daycare facility on 21 acres in the Arrington countryside, a grooming salon and boarding facility near downtown Smithville, and a location in Woodbury, TN. Our mobile groomers also travel throughout Rutherford and Williamson County.

What is included in a full-service grooming package?

Every all-inclusive package includes (pet willing) a nail trim and file, teeth brushing and breath spray, ear cleaning and plucking, a double bath with personalized shampoo and conditioner, leave-in conditioner, face, feet, and sanitary trims if requested, and a finishing spray. We also offer full pet and breed trims.

Do you offer a shed-less grooming package?

Yes. Our shed-less package is designed for heavy shedders and helps remove loose undercoat so there’s less hair around your home. Ask our team whether it’s the right fit for your dog’s coat type.

How much does dog grooming cost?

Prices vary based on your pet’s size, coat type and condition, the service requested, temperament, and time needed to groom. Current price sheets are posted on our Arrington, Smithville, and Mobile Grooming pages, or you can call us for a quote.

How does mobile grooming work?

Our self-contained grooming units come to the location of your choice and need no water or electrical hookups. Your pet enjoys a personal, one-on-one, cage-free grooming experience right outside your door, which is often less stressful than a busy salon.

Do you groom cats?

Yes. Our mobile grooming service accepts cats as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes. Our salon grooming services focus on dogs.

Do you board cats as well as dogs?

Yes. Our Smithville location offers full-service cat boarding in a highly insulated, quiet Cat Lounge with large private condos that have separate areas for sleeping, playing, eating, and using the litter box, plus a play area for exercise and enrichment.

What are your boarding kennels like?

We don’t use tiny cages. Our boarding suites are private, indoors, and climate-controlled, with full kennel shades for privacy while resting. Dogs also enjoy multiple indoor and outdoor play yards, and our Arrington location offers nature walking trails.

Will I get updates while my pet is boarding?

Yes. We communicate throughout every stay and send photos and updates, so you always know what your furry family member is up to while you’re away.

What does a typical boarding day include?

Overnight stays include multiple play sessions, solo and/or group, along with enrichment activities. Depending on location and package, guests may also enjoy movie nights, storytime, bedtime tuck-ins, wholesome treats, and walks on our trails.

Can my dog be groomed during a boarding stay?

Absolutely. You can book an exit bath or a full groom so your pet goes home clean and smelling great. Our Arrington facility also grooms dogs with or without a boarding reservation.

What is doggy daycare like?

Our dog daycare gives pups a safe, fully supervised place to roam, romp, and make friends in indoor and outdoor play yards. At select locations, dogs can also enjoy walks on our nature trails.

Are your groomers and caretakers trained?

Yes. Our groomers take part in continuing education and are pet CPR/First-Aid certified, and our boarding team is multi-level certified, enrichment focused, and pet CPR/First-Aid trained. Learn more about our team.

Do you offer creative color grooming?

Yes. If you’d like to add a pop of color, our color specialist can design a fun creation you and your pup will love. Ask about availability when booking your grooming appointment.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. Grooming services are by appointment only. Call the location you’d like to visit, or call (615) 809-4300 to book mobile grooming.

Do you offer Sunday drop-off and pick-up for boarding?

Sunday drop-off and pick-up is available for boarding at our Smithville location, and our Arrington facility is open seven days a week. Contact the location you plan to use to confirm times.

What should I know before my pet’s first visit?

Our New Clients page explains what to expect. Please call ahead with any questions about your pet’s needs, temperament, or vaccination records so we can make the first visit smooth and stress-free.
