Diva Dog Pet Styling

11/09/2024

As many of my regular grooming clients and friends know, Christmas is my favourite time of the year and it takes me almost a month to get my house done inside and outside from top to bottom! Please pardon my glitter explosion of a mess right now. I promise my grooming room is clean!

Tomorrow my husband will be hanging Christmas lights and has my schedule to try and not be on the ladder when dogs come, if he is up the ladder please give him a moment to get down and move the ladder for everyone’s safety ❤️

Christmas is just 8 weeks away, the week before has very limited appointments and for the first time I am working December 23rd! Only a couple spots left for that day! 🎄

10/01/2024

I am not sure what the “Preferred Date and Time” feature is that Facebook has added, but this is not how I book appointments. Please don’t assume because you choose a time that I will have that available, I am unsure how to shut this feature off.

🐾🐾Note of things to please keep in mind:🐾🐾

1. Early- you do not need to be more then 5 minutes early for your appointment, I book my appointments very specific to my day to ensure time for cleaning/breaks/time for my dogs/ect.

2. If I have someone at my door please wait. Their dog may not be good with other dogs, I may be talking to them about their dogs health or behaviour, or it could be someone I know personally and having a private conversation, I see you and will take in your dog or send them home as soon as I am done with the client at my door.

3. Late pick ups- if you make arrangements with me, there is no issue, but I will be starting to charge a 10$ every half an hour people are late WITHOUT informing me.

I do everything I can to keep my prices low as I know many are struggling right now and I don’t want pet care to be a burden. But, if I have to cut back the number of clients I take in a day because I have to space people out more because of early/late and not giving me a chance to take a break, I will have to increase prices.

I am officially back to work!

I can’t thank all my wonderful clients enough for your patience over the past 5 months with my busy schedule, from my club hosting Agility Regionals in May and my trip to Nationals, it has been a lot! My work schedule will be back to normal now!

I will post my weekend schedule for the rest of the year tomorrow! And don’t forget to get your Christmas appointments booked soon! I already have some full days!

I picked up some super cute material on my trek across the US last week!

08/20/2024

I am sorry for all the delays on messages!

I am still away and will still be away for a few more days (currently in Toledo Ohio getting some rest for the night for another 12 hour day of driving tomorrow!)

Thank you to everyone for their patience! I will be getting to everyone’s messages a soon as possible, it may take me a few more days,

My girls killed it at Nationals!

Scarlet was 2nd place in her height and
Delilah was 2nd place in her division AND she made Team Canada and will be heading to Switzerland next year!

I greatly appreciate all of you who have been so supportive while I have taken this time off!

Reminder, I am heading to Ontario on the 11th for Agility Nationals with Scarlet and Delilah, I am off the 11-21st, for those booked the 22nd please note I may need to change your appointment if travel plans get delayed as I am driving across the country, I will know the 16th if I need to reschedule,

I do have a few appointments left this week if anyone would like to get in before I head out, after that is the week of the 26th!

Unfortunately it is becoming a large problem of my having to track people down after their appointments to get payment.

I don’t want to stop taking e-transfer as it is very easy and I don’t want to have to be tbe person asking to see proof of e-transfer sent before dogs are picked up.

I have “let go” several clients that are repeat offenders of having to be tracked down.

Please ensure your transfers are sent on the days of your dogs grooming appointment, I like being able to run my business as a small personal business.

Thank you
Michelle

Please note:

You do not need to be early for your appointments, my appointments are booked by specific times, I need you there at that time.

When you show up early

-I may not be here, you could have a 10 am appointment or a 2 pm appointment and be my first appointment of the day, I could be at an appointment for myself, kids or dogs and planned my day around that.

-you disrupt the dog I currently have on my table, I need to put them away to answer the door, you put me behind and upset that dog as they think they are done and ready to go home. Also gets them excited thinking it is their family coming for them.

-you don’t allow me proper clean up time in between dogs, I like my grooming room cleaned and disinfected

And…. I could just be having a break in my day, I would like the chance to grab lunch, a snack or drink or just have a few minutes to throw in a load of laundry or tidy something in my house.

If you are more then 5 minutes early for your appointment please wait in your vehicle or take your dog for a walk while you wait for me to be ready for your appointment.

If you need to be early please let me know so o can let you know if that works and I can make the arrangements.

Same as being late for picking up your dog, I need to know if you will be late, I could have somewhere to be or my next dog is on the table and I need to put them away to answer the door.
