About Us
Established in 2017
Bring Your Own Pet Grooming began as a dream, and in the fall of 2017, it became a reality. Grooming is an essential part of everyone's health—both animals and humans! Our goal is to care for pets as if they were our own. We strive for picture-perfect haircuts and happy pets leaving our salon. However, if we can't achieve both, our main priority is always a happy pet. We want our clients to have a positive experience at the salon and learn to feel comfortable with the grooming process. Grooming will be a part of their lives forever to maintain their health, which is why it is so important to build a strong relationship between our pet clients and our staff.
Samantha Hoffmann
Owner, Groomer, BS in Animal Science: Canine Studies.
For those who are just meeting me for the first time, I'm Sam- Ive wanted to be a dog groomer since career day in Kindergarden, but that dream morphed a bit throughout the years. In that time I founded an animal rescue, worked many jobs within the animal field and fell in love with the art of grooming 10+ years ago. I went to grooming school in NYC and worked at a few grooming salons in Staten Island before starting BYOP in 2017. I love all the salons I worked at through the years, but I have always had a ton of big ideas (as my parents and now my husband tell me haha). I wanted a different experience for my groomers and my clients. I wanted myself and my staff to never stop learning- to continue our education and use the best products in the industry, all while giving my clients the best service and experience possible. Although learning for me looks a little different than it used to- I love learning to be a better Business Owner, Team Leader, Mom, Wife and so much more than just learning new grooming techniques.
