Who we are
At Claws and Paws, we believe pampering your pup shouldn’t feel like a chore—it should be something you both look forward to.
Located right on Main Street in our charming small town, we’ve created a space that’s more than just a grooming salon. It’s a cozy, community-driven sanctuary where dogs get the royal treatment and their humans can relax and enjoy the experience too.
While your pup enjoys a spa-level grooming session, you’re invited to linger and enjoy a coffee while you explore our curated boutique of organic treats, designer collars, and thoughtfully chosen pet home goods.
We have created a welcoming space for the whole family. Because here, your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family. And we think all family deserves a little luxury.
MEET THE GROOMERS
Heather:
With over 25 years of grooming experience and a true love for animals, I’ve dedicated my life to helping pets look and feel their best. I previously owned two grooming salons in St. Petersburg, Florida, before moving to the beautiful mountains of Rabun County with my two boxers and a sassy little Chihuahua. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family.
Kasey:
As a wife of 11 years and a mother of two beautiful girls, I found my passion for grooming 8 years ago. I most enjoy seeing the transformation of pets while in my care. With a French Bulldog, Pomeranian, Corgi, and Golden Doodle at home, my love for animals has made me a more detail oriented and compassionate groomer. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family!
Cary:
Cary Simpson is a trusted name in the animal care industry with 33+ years of experience. Married to Greg Simpson for 24 years, she is a Tennessee native who was an AKC dog show professional handler for over 20 years and built a successful grooming business in Kentucky for more than two decades.
Throughout her career, Cary has raised and shown Samoyeds, Border Terriers, Portuguese Water Dogs, and Scottish Deerhounds. Her love for animals extends beyond her profession, and she is also an avid horseback rider and hiker who enjoys spending time outdoors.
