Your Dog Deserves Ellie's Touch

Newfoundland, NJ's most trusted groomer, where even the most difficult dogs leave looking fabulous.

About Us

Somewhere between a bath, a trim, and a whole lot of patience, Ellie's Grooming became the go-to spot for dog owners across the Newfoundland, NJ area. Ellie has built her reputation one dog at a time, earning a near-perfect 4.9-star rating across 115 reviews. Clients don't just book appointments here. They follow Ellie to new locations because the results, and the trust, are that good.

What sets this place apart is the ability to handle dogs that other groomers turn away. Anxious seniors, stubborn terriers, fidgety poodles, Ellie and her team take them all in stride. One reviewer said Ellie is "literally the only person on Earth" who could successfully groom their dog. That kind of loyalty is earned through calm hands, genuine care, and years of reading what each individual animal needs.

The team at Ellie's Grooming treats every appointment like it matters, because it does. Coats come out softer, dogs come home happier, and owners keep coming back for years.

What We Offer

Every dog that walks through the door at Ellie's Grooming gets a thorough, attentive session tailored to their coat type, temperament, and specific needs. Baths are deep and conditioning, leaving fur noticeably softer after just one visit. Breed-specific cuts are executed with precision, whether that means a tight poodle clip, a flowing doodle trim, or a clean-up on a short-coated pup.

Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and finishing touches are all part of the process. No rushed assembly-line approach here. Kristina and Ellie work with each dog individually, adjusting pace and technique based on how the animal is feeling that day. Senior dogs and anxious breeds receive extra time and gentleness as standard practice, not as an add-on.

Appointment availability is limited, so booking ahead is strongly recommended. Clients who have followed Ellie from her previous location know that once you find a groomer this good, you hold onto the appointment.

"Ellie is wonderful! We’ve brought our dogs to her for years and have followed her to the new location in Newfoundland. As our mini poodle got older and became increasingly difficulty to groom due to his hearing and vision issues, Ellie was always so kind and understanding. It's hard to find a groomer you can trust for a senior dog with special needs and I'll always be grateful to Ellie for treating him with dignity and keeping him feeling great in his final years. ❤️ We now have a younger poodle and she always looks perfect after a visit to Ellie’s!"

"Ellie is the best! She took amazing care of our pup and was so thorough with her bath. Our girl's fur has never been softer! Ellie is also literally the only person on Earth who could successfully handle our squirmy, nervous dog during the nail trim/buff, too. Pricing was very reasonable and it so worth the visit. Ellie even gave her a Nightmare Before Christmas bandana afterward that looked so adorable. We will only be visiting Ellie's from here on!"
