About
Gentle Paws Grooming
Calm, one-on-one grooming in O’Fallon, Illinois
Gentle Paws Grooming is a professional private grooming studio created for dogs who do best in a quieter environment. Every appointment is scheduled one dog at a time, allowing for a calmer pace, thoughtful handling, and individualized care from start to finish.
Gentle Paws Grooming operates from a clean, professional studio in O’Fallon, IL. Because we schedule appointments by request and limit daily availability, we’re able to maintain a calm environment and give each dog the time they need.
Our goal is simple: provide a grooming experience that feels safe, respectful, and unrushed—for dogs and their people. See our services here.

About the Groomer
Hi, I’m Courtney, owner of Gentle Paws Grooming. I am a professionally trained groomer certified through Animal Behavior College with Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certification and Fear Free Shelter training. I have additional education in canine skin and coat health and geriatric dog care, with specialized training in working with anxious, aggressive, and senior dogs.
My focus is safe, structured, one-on-one grooming designed to reduce stress and support long-term comfort. Gentle Paws Grooming was created for dogs who need a calmer, more attentive approach — and for pet parents who value professional care delivered with patience and skill.
