The Hannold Family
Owner & Pet Stylist
Lauren’s passion for caring for animals began at the age of six with her childhood dog, Sport, and has continued throughout her life with the adoption of dogs and cats into her own family. Lauren and her husband, Alex, reside in Carlisle, PA with their two children, dog- Lulu, and cats- Rowdy and Ollie. The convenience of mobile pet grooming first appealed to her as a busy mom and pet owner of two dogs at the time. Her dogs had high anxiety and feared other people/dogs, so the task of taking them to a grooming salon was stressful. In 2020, she graduated from grooming school, bought a grooming van, and blossomed a passion into a wonderful, fulfilling career. As a former Special Education teacher, a mother, and a fellow pet owner, Lauren understands firsthand that patience, kindness, and praise go a long way in creating a trusting and positive bond with another, whether it be with a person or an animal. She feels that grooming should be an enjoyable experience, not a stressful one, which is why she has built Happy Hounds on a foundation of happiness, kindness, and patience, and vouches to always treat your pet with such. Lauren looks forward to pampering your pet and is honored to have the opportunity to help make a difference in your pet's life as a part of their care-giving team!
Owner and Mechanic
Alex is the man behind the scenes, working on our grooming vans and equipment into the night to keep us on the road and running smoothly! He is a problem solver and the fixer of all things. He has been an automotive mechanic for 17 years, working at private shops and local dealerships.
With Alex’s mechanical ability and Lauren’s passion for dogs, they embarked on this journey together, embracing both of their gifts to serve their local community!
Where Style Meets the Fluff
Ashley is an upbeat, dependable professional and is passionate about all animals, big and small. She cannot pass one by without giving it love and affection! She has invaluable experience handling and caring for a variety of pets through caring for her own pets, working on a farm, and ongoing pet sitting. Ashley takes much pride to ensure she is able to provide professional services to the community and provides a high level of care and attention to each client. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Outside of working with animals, Ashley enjoys homeschooling her son, spending time with her friends and family, going to the gym, reading, learning, and attending church. Ashley is an asset to our care-giving team and will always treat your pet with professionalism, patience and kindness!
Ashton is an experienced groomer and is devoted to caring for your pets. She has 6 years of experience, starting as a bather, then an apprentice groomer, and now has been grooming on her own for several years. She joins us from a busy salon, where she was also team lead. She has worked hard to cultivate her skill. She specializes in difficult and aggressive dogs, with experience handling geriatric dogs. She loves dogs of all ages and sizes! She also has experience with cats and other pets, and is happy to offer cat nail trims, as well as nail trims for guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, and ferrets as an add-on service with a mobile dog groom!
Working on a horse farm from a young age and working with her own dogs and cats has given Ashton experience through the years that has helped her in her professional career. She is very careful to ensure each dogs’ needs are met, as well as ensuring that the pet owners are happy with her detail oriented work.
Outside of work, Ashton enjoys riding motorcycles, dirt track races, kayaking and hiking with her Landseer Newfoundland, Cerberus.
Our Fur-tastic PURPOSE
We are a family owned and operated business servicing a fifteen mile radius from our office in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Our mission at Happy Hounds is to provide you and your pet with a gentle, safe, and stress-free grooming experience. With our mobile service, grooming your pet in one of our fully equipped vans outside your home lessens unnecessary stress on your pet and saves you two round trips to the grooming salon plus any mess your pet may leave behind in your vehicle. Our vans are grooming salons on wheels: heated and cooled for your pet's comfort, provides warm water for every bath, and holds our own fresh water tank. No hooking up water hoses or electrical cords required. Our vans are clean and without cages, barking dogs, or rushing your pet through their appointment. Your pet will always receive our undivided attention and gentle handling.​​​​​​
We use our favorite, professional products enriched with high quality ingredients and no harsh chemicals. We pay attention to details, customizing each grooming session to meet your pet’s individual physical and emotional needs. We’ll talk to you about your pet’s coat condition, your routine grooming regimen, and your desired cut (if applicable) as well as notify you of any potential health concerns we may find. We may also offer guidance in caring for your pet between visits if needed. We strive on building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. We strive to make each grooming session a positive one with praise and treats throughout. We know that your animal is a special part of your family and we are committed to providing outstanding service in a clean and loving environment. A regular grooming schedule with Happy Hounds Mobile Pet Grooming will keep your pet feeling their best to ensure they always look good, smell good, and feel good. We would love to become a part of your pet's care-giving team!
Purr-fect Moments!
We’re committed to giving your pet the best grooming experience they’ve ever had! Your dog will look good, feel good, and smell good!
Got a question? We’re here to help.
We come to you in our state-of-the-art grooming van! Each van is equipped to provide a luxury spa experience for your pup. By choosing mobile dog grooming, you’ll experience our convenient service while providing your dog with the one-on-one, cage-free TLC they deserve without the hustle and bustle of a traditional grooming shop.
Our mobile grooming service area is approximately a 15 mile radius from our salon in Carlisle. We service Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Enola, Boiling Springs, Dillsburg, and Mt. Holly Springs. Unsure if you're in our service area? Just ask!
We understand our clients lead busy lives. We want to make getting your dog groomed as convenient as possible, therefore we are happy to offer latch key service (aka key on file service) for established, recurring clients with our mobile grooming service. With our latch key option, you do not need to be home when we come to groom your dog... only your dog does!
• You provide instructions for how to access your home (tell us key code, hide a key, leave door unlocked, etc.). Our pet stylist will enter your home and get your dog.
• Our pet stylist will groom your dog as usual in our grooming van. She will ensure your dog is returned back to your home per your instructions after the groom is complete.
• You will be texted a payment link to pay by credit card directly from your phone or you may leave cash for payment. Payment is expected to be received day of service.
Our pet stylist will even let your dog go potty before and after the groom!
Pet grooming doesn't get any easier than this!
We accept cash, credit card, and venmo for payment.
All clients of Happy Hounds Mobile Pet Grooming LLC (mobile clients and salon clients) are required to keep a valid credit card on file for cancellation/rescheduling purposes. We requires a minimum of 48 hours notice if you need to cancel/reschedule an appointment. Less than 48 hours notice will result in a booking fee equivalent to 50% of the service fee charged to the card on file. Less than 24 hours notice or same day cancellations/reschedules will result in a booking fee equivalent to 100% of the service fee charged to the card on file. Card information is stored securely through the credit card processing company and is encrypted.
A lot of time and careful planning goes into our efficient scheduling (and routing for mobile). We reserve a time slot specifically for your pet and are often not able to fill the spot due to short notice from a cancellation/reschedule. Cancellations throw our pet stylist's entire schedule for the day off and also prevents a client who really wanted an appointment from getting that time slot that you had and didn't use.
For the safety of the pets in our care, we are not able to answer phone calls. The best way to contact us is by texting us at 717-601-6176. We will text you back as soon as we can!
