How it works
Set up an Appointment
Call, email or text to set up your dog's home spa visit.
​
We come to you!
I will arrive at your home, office, RV park or anywhere that meets the requirements, for your pet's appointment. Indoor or outdoor if weather permits. I will bring all the tools and supplies I need with me and set up.
​
Bathing & Drying
I will bathe, fluff dry, brush and groom your pet to your specifications. Bathing is done in either the sink, bath tub or utility sink, usually where ever you normally bathe them yourself.
​
Clean Up
I will then clean up, I try my best to keep messes at a minimum. Hair is collected in a bag throughout the groom and then swept or vacuumed at the end of service. I'll then pack up and head on to my next appointment.

Benefits of House Call Grooming
Comfort and convenient!
We come to you! We offer high-quaility, full-service grooming right in the comfort of your own home, where your pet is most at ease. Schedule an appointment that's convenient for your lifestyle. Pet owners save time, gas, and energy by not having to miss work, school, special occasions or daily activities. With door-to-door service, avoid inconvenient shop drop-off and pick-up hassles.
Stress free environment for your dog!
You gain peace of mind and your family pet won't suffer from needless separation anxiety, car sickness or physical stress. There is no stress or anxiety of long stays at an unknown place and in the proximity of other dogs in a locked environment. Your pet will never stay in a crate for hours waiting to be groomed. No exposure to other animals, disease or parasites.
Personalized one-on-one attention!
I firmly believe in "pet wellness" and I customize grooming care to your pets specific needs. By grooming in your home, your pet has the same groomer, which will encourage bonding and trust with your pet. Individual attention helps overcome the anxiety many dogs express being groomed in salons.

Why its important to keep my pet on a grooming schedule?
Pets need to be groomed on a regular basis to avoid things like matted fur, skin/ear infections, nails growing into pads. Most dogs need to be groomed every 4 to 6 weeks. This is important for keeping up on their health. Anything after that and they will start to produce an odor, mats can start to occur, excessive skin dander and hair shedding.
​
Not only does this maintain a beautiful coat but it develops a special relationship between dog, groomer and the owner.
Latch Key Program
I provide a latch key service for all regular clients. Even if you are away or at work we can come, with your permission, and perform the groom, leaving behind nothing but a freshly groomed pet! Many clients enjoy this service simply because they are too busy to take off work or have errands they need to run. Leave a key or code and a payment. I may ask for you to crate your pet(s) if they are unable to be caught without you present. All clients must have at least one appointment.
Emergency House Calls
Sometimes life happens! This service is for after hours, last minute, on-call emergency grooming or bathing. An additional $60 fee will be added to the groom or bath rate.
Disclaimer
All pricing is an estimate only and can change after a proper evaluation of your pet at the time of your groom. Condition of coat and the comfort of your pet will be the deciding factor. Every pet is different and it is my goal to make the groom as stress free as possible. In doing that, the groom might take extra time.
​
I will not work with aggressive or completely uncooperative dogs. I will however, give it a shot and have found that some dogs can do well with a patient house call groomer. The service rate will be charged by the hour or a special handling fee will be applied.
​
Any dog that has open wounds, broken bones or any medical condition that the groomer deems to be serious must be cleared by the vet and will need to be scheduled for a later date.
