About us

Michelle’s Dapper Dogs (formerly Dorothy’s Dapper Dogs) started as a small grooming shop built on over 20 years of hands-on experience. Michelle grew up in the business, grooming dogs with her mother, Dorothy, who started it all. Alongside her work at the shop, Michelle spent 15 years in doggie daycare before taking over full-time.

Now, with a new location in White Marsh, that same shop is growing into full-service daycare and boarding.

Still family-owned, still dedicated to personal care, now with plenty of room to play.

No Gimmicks.
Just Good Care.
