No mess, no stress for dogs and cats; plenty of convenience for pet owners

Southwest Chicago Post
Winter has come early this year in Chicago—freezing cold air, snow and ice on the ground.
That presents challenges on many levels, including for dog and cat owners who need to drive their pet to a groomer.
But now, folks in the greater Midway area can have their pet professionally bathed and groomed without leaving the warmth and comfort of their own home.
Because the groomer comes directly to you.
That’s the main appeal of Zoomin Groomin, a mobile pet spa newly opened in the greater Midway area.
Zoomin Groomin is a rapidly expanding mobile grooming service with more than 150 franchises nationwide.
The new Zoomin Groomin unit in the Greater Midway area is owned and operated by Clearing residents Felix Estrada and Brenda Rivera.
Locally owned and operated
Felix, a former pipefitter for Peoples Gas, is a newly minted CFD firefighter serving on the North Side.

Brenda is a Garfield Ridge native and 2011 graduate of Kennedy High School. Like Felix, she is a member of the Army National Guard.
They are owners of two nine-year-old dogs: Pepper, a beagle, and Luna, a blind Husky; as well as Tato, a 3-year-old German shepherd.
No mess, no fuss, no stress
“One of the benefits of our service is there’s a lot less anxiety for your pet.” Felix says. “Even the best grooming salon can be stressful for a pet because they may be put into a cage, which they may not be used to. They may get nervous because they smell the other animals in the place and they hear other dogs barking. With Zoomin Groomin, it’s just a friendly, professional groomer and your dog.”
“We go for quality instead of quantity,” he adds.
The benefit of that focus on quality was recently illustrated when Zoomin Groomin cared for Molly, a dog described by Felix and Brenda in a Facebook post as “the sweetest little ray of sunshine.”
“Today was her spa day, and from start to finish she was nothing but smiles, tail wags and pure happiness. She didn’t bark once — just soaked up every bit of attention and love during her groom.
Her family told us that during her last grooming experience somewhere else, Molly really struggled and was labeled ‘an incredibly difficult dog.’
Hearing that made her big, happy transformation today even more special.
The truth is, some pups just need a different environment. No loud dryers blowing everywhere. No other dogs around. No chaos or crowding.
Just one-on-one care, patience and a peaceful space where they can relax and feel safe.
And Molly absolutely blossomed with that kind of attention.
We’re so proud of her, and so happy she enjoyed every moment of her groom. Dogs like Molly remind us why personalized mobile grooming can make such a difference.
If your pup is sensitive, anxious, or easily overwhelmed, we’d love to give them the same calm, stress-free experience.”
The colorful Zoomin Groomin van is equipped with a sink, dryer, vacuum, motorized grooming table, a large tank of fresh water, and a second tank for used water—meaning there’s no flushing anything down your sewer.
The van also sports its own “green” electrical power and Zoomin Groomin groomers use “a 100% non-toxic and eco-friendly Pure Oxygen Ultra Shampoo that safely cleans and deodorizes your pet without leaving any residue,” according to a company statement on zoomingroomin.com.
Services range from a basic bath and dry to the more comprehensive, which can include a trim or a full-body haircut, nail trim, de-shedding of the undercoat and more.
Zoomin Groomin recently joined the Midway Chamber of Commerce and held a ribbon cutting at the MCC’s December meeting.
“We’re pleased to welcome Zoomin Groomin to the growing ranks of the Midway Chamber of Commerce,” MCC President Mary Ellen Brown says. “Both as a business owner and a pet owner, I find their service innovative and interesting. I think dog and cat owners in the greater Midway area will, as well.”
