About AstroPaws Grooming
More than just a grooming salon—we're a dedicated part of the Queens pet-loving community.
Our Story: Crafted with Care in Queens
AstroPaws Grooming was founded by Maria Rodriguez, a lifelong animal lover and certified master groomer. After years of working in busy salons, Maria wanted to create a different kind of grooming experience in her own neighborhood of Queens—one focused on individual attention, low stress, and building real relationships with pets and their parents.
AstroPaws opened its doors in 2018 on Queens Boulevard with that mission, and it guides everything we do today. Every snip, every bath, and every gentle touch is performed with deep respect for your beloved companion, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and leave looking their absolute best.
