Professional Dog & Cat Grooming Near Dripping Springs
Grooming That Begins With Understanding
Every companion communicates. Mavi begins by listening.
With more than 36 years devoted to professional dog and cat grooming, Mavi takes the time to understand the companion in front of her—their temperament, their sensitivities, their coat, and the pace they need. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
From thoughtful bathing and coat care to precision cutting and individualized styling, every groom is guided by skill, patience, and the belief that no two companions should ever be treated exactly the same.
Because beautiful grooming begins with something deeper: trust.
Calm, Personalized Grooming for Every Companion
No Two Companions Are the Same. Neither Is Mavi’s Approach.
Some companions walk in curious and confident. Others arrive unsure. Some have learned to fear the bath, the dryer, the table, or the hands of someone they do not yet know.
Mavi sees the difference.
With more than 36 years devoted to professional dog and cat grooming, she has learned that good grooming cannot be separated from understanding the companion being groomed. She watches their body language. She notices their boundaries. She listens to what their guardian knows about them. And she gives trust the time it needs.
Once that understanding is there, the craft follows. From bathing, brushing, and de-shedding to nail care, precision cutting, and individualized styling, each groom is shaped around the companion’s coat, comfort, temperament, and needs.
For anxious companions, senior pets, first-time grooms, or those who simply need a gentler pace, Mavi does not ask them to fit into a grooming routine. She adjusts the grooming to fit them.
Located on Signal Hill Road near Dripping Springs, Mavilous Touch welcomes companions from Southwest Austin, Belterra, Driftwood, Wimberley, and surrounding Texas Hill Country communities.
There is no formula. There is only the companion in front of her.
Personalized Attention. An Unhurried Approach
Comfort Cannot Be Rushed
A companion cannot be told to relax. They have to discover for themselves that they are safe.
At Mavilous Touch, Mavi gives them that opportunity. She notices the hesitation, the body language, the moment they begin to soften. Some companions settle quickly. Others need more time. There is no expectation that they all respond the same way.
This is especially important for anxious companions, senior dogs and cats, first-time grooms, or those carrying memories of stressful grooming experiences. Mavi adjusts her handling, pace, and approach to the individual in front of her rather than asking them to adapt to a routine.
No rush. No pressure. No need to be anything other than who they are.
Because comfort isn't something Mavi promises a companion.
It is something she gives them the time to find.
More Than a Haircut
Grooming Should Look Like Them
Mavi does not begin with a formula for how a companion should look. She begins with the one standing in front of her.
Their coat. Their proportions. The way they move. Their personality. The little details that make them unmistakably themselves.
With more than 36 years of experience, Mavi brings an artist’s eye and a groomer’s precision to every cut. From thoughtful coat care and scissor work to individualized styling, her hands follow what she sees rather than forcing every companion into the same mold.
Because the goal of beautiful grooming is not transformation for transformation’s sake.
It is recognition.
You should look at your companion after their groom and still see the face, the character, and the little soul you know by heart—only beautifully revealed.

They Never Have to Be “Just Another Appointment.”
At Mavilous Touch, Mavi knows the companion walking through her door is not simply the next dog or cat on the schedule.
They are someone you know by heart.
That understanding is carried into every bath, every touch, every cut, and every decision Mavi makes. Whether your companion comes for routine grooming, needs a little more patience, or has learned to feel uncertain about the grooming process, they are met as an individual—not an appointment to complete.
For more than 36 years, that has remained at the heart of Mavi’s work.
See the companion. Honor the trust. Let the craft follow.
Where hands become Home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers About Dog & Cat Grooming
Do you groom both dogs and cats?
Yes. Mavi provides professional grooming for both dogs and cats, approaching each companion according to their coat, temperament, comfort level, age, and individual needs. There is no one-size-fits-all groom because there is no one-size-fits-all companion.
Are companions kept in cages during grooming appointments?
Mavilous Touch offers a cageless grooming environment. Mavi’s approach is centered on one-on-one attention, observation, and allowing each companion to settle into the experience at their own pace.
Can I stay during my companion’s grooming appointment?
Every companion is different. If you have concerns about leaving yours or believe your presence may be important, talk with Mavi before the appointment. Together, you can determine what will create the best grooming experience for your companion.
Do you work with nervous or first-time companions?
Yes. In fact, this is where Mavi’s approach can be especially meaningful. She takes time to observe, listen, and allow trust to develop rather than expecting a nervous companion to immediately adapt. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Only invited.
How often should my companion be groomed?
There is no single schedule that is right for every dog or cat. Breed, coat type, lifestyle, age, skin and coat condition, and the style you want to maintain can all affect grooming frequency. Mavi can recommend a schedule based on the companion in front of her.

“Mavi was wonderful! Boomer was so god to her. I’ve had other groomers
complain that he squirmed too much when doing face and paws. Mavi
empathized and made him feel at ease. He was so happy when he was done.
Best grooming experience ever! Thank you!”
