The Story & Talent Behind Homestead Grooming

We’ve turned a love for dogs into a career built on trust, patience, and genuine care.

Our Story

Homestead Grooming started with a simple goal: create a grooming experience where every dog feels like family. After more than 17 years in the industry, owner Maranda Saunders opened her own salon to bring that vision to life in Sparks, NV.

We believe grooming is about more than a great haircut. It’s about patience, trust, and helping every dog feel safe and comfortable in our care.

Our Culture

We never rush an appointment. Instead, we take the time to get to know each dog, understand their needs, and make every visit as calm and positive as possible.

Our approach is simple: treat every dog like our own. We use low-stress handling from the moment they arrive to the moment they head home, because comfort matters just as much as a beautiful finished look.

Compassion, trust, and affordability guide everything we do. Explore our grooming services to see how we put that care into practice.

Our Team

Hi, I’m Maranda! Grooming is my passion, and I believe every dog deserves to feel comfortable, cared for, and beautiful. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re here for a simple bath or a full grooming day.

I’ve had the joy of grooming dogs of every breed, size, and personality, and each one has taught me something new. I’m proud of the trust I’ve built with the families I work with, and I treat every pup that walks through my door like part of my own.
