Shaggy Chic Pet Services
down and dirty at your place since 2010
Getting down and dirty at your place is what we do.
Cheeky tagline, serious business.
We have a rich history serving animals. Our small team humbly touts experience in veterinary clinics, an immeasurable amount of dog rescue volunteer work, over a decade of dog grooming, and are actively serving on the board with Citizens for Animal Protection. Of course, we are all lifetime pet guardians, too.
When there’s dirty work to get done, we’ve had Houston’s pets covered since 2010. We consider quality care an ever changing endeavor and unique for each household.
Our constant itch for do-goodery makes taking care of Houston’s littles our ultimate happy place.

Let’s curate the best game plan for your family.
A very serious note: In this post-pandemic world, it’s important not to forget that our pets have been lovingly by our sides while we were all stuck at home. Some of our new family members may not even know a life without us! While humans navigate to incorporate more time away from home, evaluate the toll that may take on your companion. Consider investing in enriching activities while taking time to find a new balance. We’re here to help.

Medical Grooming
At this time, we are only providing medical grooming services in conjunction with your veterinarian’s prescribed regimen.
If your dog has been diagnosed with a condition that requires a rigorous treatment plan, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work. From skin infections to wound maintenance – we’ll work with you and your vet to do whatever it takes to get your little one’s health back in order.
While we loved fluffing up pups since 2010, we retired our original house-call grooming in 2021 and refocused efforts back to our roots to help heal the needy babes.

Client Testimonials
Shaggy Chic has been life changing for my pups! Finding friends and family to watch my babes whenever I would go out of town was a struggle. I didn’t like the idea of shuffling dog walkers because how could I trust that process?
Boarding was costing me a lot and I had no real idea of how my dogs were doing in my absence, they would have good report cards but seemed so stressed every time I dropped them off and picked them up.
I needed a friendly, professional, experienced person that I trusted and who understood my dogs. Someone who would show them genuine love while I was away so I didn’t have to worry about them missing me too much. (And if said person could have sleepovers with them, even better!)
Kristen has gone above and beyond for Pep and Flynn. She is my go-to person for them and they LOVE her. They both have their “isms” but she knows every single one and how to handle them. Not to mention, she’s helped them make new friends (this has helped Flynn’s social skills so much) and learned new tricks! She has been flexible with me even when she has a packed schedule, which is not only considerate but also impressive.
This is truly a match made in doggy heaven, I am immensely grateful.
Kristen goes above and beyond in the services she provides. The love and care she provides my pets daily is immeasurable. Watching Kristen work with animals is seeing someone do exactly what they are meant to do. Not only does she provide daily walking services, grooming, and boarding, she also offers training, dietary suggestions depending on the breed, keeps track of medications or health needs they may have, as well as provides daily updates on their wellbeing. I look forward to the pictures, videos, and updates each day while I am at work. Kristen is extremely attentive to my pets happiness and health above anything else.
Over the past 3 years Kristen has become like family and to not have her with my pets everyday would have a major impact on their happiness and well being. I am beyond thankful to have her everyday for my pets care and anyone who chooses her services will not be disappointed!
Where to begin on why we love Shaggy Chic?! Kristen is absolute sunshine and our dogs are OBSESSED with her!! Her understanding of their psychology enriches every service she offers and you know she just loves your dog(s) and all the little quirks that go with them! She has such a gift and contagious passion for this business and always goes well above and beyond to promote and educate on your pups’ wellness for all stages of life. The level of knowledge and commitment to clients is unmatched — she’s the best friend for your best friend to have!
All I need do, is mention Kristen’s name and my pups jump to attention and are ready to go. They know and love her, despite the tortuous hairdo my Bedlington requires, that she does so well. She is also amazing at pairing friends and groups of pups that inevitably have great fun together. Her kind, gentle and playful attention is reflected in the pup’s reactions. She is a superwoman of the canine world! My pups are especially happy when the blue bag comes out. It goes with them for sleepovers. The only problem is they don’t always want to come home. Kristen finds every park and vacant landscape in town to take them gallivanting, often with friends she has found for them. It would be hard to compete with the pleasure and happiness she provides.
