Founded with Passion
Built for the Future of Pet Care
Petswag Grooming Academy was founded by Jessica John, a Certified Groomer, Stylist, and Canine Behaviorist with over nine years of professional experience and international training from Malaysia, South Korea, and India.
Jessica’s journey began as one of the first professional groomers in Kalyan, Mumbai — and quickly evolved into a mission:
To raise India’s grooming standards while helping others build meaningful, successful careers around pets.
Today, Petswag Academy is where passion meets profession — and where animal lovers become confident, career-ready Petpreneurs.
