04/02/2024

✨️ My books are now open for prebooking the rest of 2024 ✨️

🐾 please keep in mind I only do bookings via text or Facebook messenger, and my inbox will be stuffed these next few weeks so it may take me a few days to reply !

✨️ I am still accepting new clients, with the exception of heavy coated giants breeds (pyrenees,berneses,st.bernards).
✨️ I have no more space available on weekends for new clients.

02/23/2024

Just a reminder of the upcoming price changes!
Life is getting more and more expensive these days, running a business is no different, so to maintain the quality of work I take pride in price increases are needed.
Please message or text me with any questions or concerns. 💕

01/11/2024

Apparently Facebook removed my last post so lets try that again! 🐾

✨️ I'm currently accepting a limited amount of new clientele ✨️

🐾 I am not taking on any giant or heavy coated breeds (pyrenees, berneses, malamutes etc)

🐾 Now Prebooking January - June ! Current clients- please shoot me a text or message ASAP if you don't have your spots booked.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sun while it's out! 🌞
✨️ I'm not taking on new clients at this time✨️

🐾 between my back injury and now Ace's well issue, it has definitely been a difficult few weeks. I hugely appreciate everyone's patience with moving appointments around and I hope to finish rebooking next week!

🐾 If you would like to prebook to the end of 2023, let me know! I might not answer right away as I get everyone organized but I will answer in order received!

04/25/2023

I've been so busy at my new place I've hardly taken any photos! 🐶📸

🐾 I'm now prebooking May - August, I will respond to all texts / messages in the order I've received them !

🐾 Thank you all for being so supportive in my move into Ace's K9 Care!
🌸🌞

✨️ Answering Your Questions About The Move ✨️

🐾 I have had so many of you reaching out to me worried about the changes coming with my move to Ace's this week so here is the main answer to them all-
🌸 Nothing but my location is changing 🌸

🐾 I will still be working Sundays, though I have some taken off through the summer.
🐾 I will continue to book the year in quarters as I am still in school.
🐾 I will still be as kennel-free, one on one as possible. The only overlap would be upon pick up and drop off.
🐾 When arriving for your appointment you can still shoot me a text and I will meet you in the lobby inside the front doors (under the Ace's K9 sign), or when you enter the girls upfront can radio me to let me know of your arrival.
🐾 Some of you prefer me coming to your vehicle to drop off/ pick up, I can still do that! Just text me and let me know when you arrive.
🐾 I am working along side another groomer, though we are separate businesses, with separate pricing.
🐾 I am also a separate business operating within Ace's K9 Care, any daycare services or boarding will need to be done through Ace's.
✨️ I understand there is a huge shortage of groomers in town but unfortunately I cannot take on anymore clients at this time, though I do have a waitlist going.

💕 I hugely appreciate all the excitement and love I've received with this big step, I can't wait to see you all there! 🥰

📣 BIG IMPORTANT NEWS 📣

The Bark Shop is moving, but not far!
Starting MARCH 19th The Bark Shop will be operating out of Ace's K9 Care!!
I will be working alongside Mama Mia's K9 Cuts and I couldn't be more excited!

🐾This opportunity will allow me with more space and much better efficiency, which is why I've taken on a few more clients. Also an indoor lobby!!! 🎉

🐾 In the day since I posted last I had a huge amount of requests and I'm now at capacity for the time being! Once I'm settled into my new location I may take more on.

🐾 March 19th is nearly a month away but I wanted to give all my amazing clients a good heads up about my location change that way if there are any issues there is lots of time to let me know!

🐾 The best part is that Ace's is only 5 minutes away! 👇✨️

02/21/2023

It has been a hot minute since I've posted! I didn't get a lot of photos the last few weeks but here's the handful I did get! 📸🐶

✨️ I am not taking on anymore clients at this time, thank you for everyone's interest! ✨️

🐾 Please be patient when messaging/texting me, between work and school I try my best to reply within 48 hours!

🐾 BIG NEWS TO BE POSTED 👀💃

01/09/2023

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years! 🎉

✨️ I am not taking on new clients✨️

🐾 The price increase of 5% is now in affect, please message me with any questions or concerns.
🐾 Everyone should be prebooked by now for January- April, if you're not message or text me ASAP and we'll see what we can do!
🐾 Please allow me time to reply to your messages. If I don't get to you the day you reach out, I will during my next working day. If you message me Thursday night, you will not get a reply until Sunday because I do not work Fridays or Saturdays.
🐾 The Bark Shop is 2 years old! Thank you to everyone who's helped turn my little home business into the success it is! 💕🎉

12/15/2022

Busy, busy, busy! It's that time of year! 🎄

✨️ I am not taking on new clients✨️

🐾 If you are a prebooker waiting for your January-April dates, shoot me a text or message. I believe I have gotten to everyone but I could be missing someone!

🐾 For non-regulars (those I only see a couple times a year), please book your spring groom ASAP. I have very few spots left in March/April and with my course load being a little heavier next semester I will not be fitting pups in on my days off.

Are you ready for Christmas? I'm definitely not!🎁🎁🎄🎉

11/07/2022

Huge photo dump from the last few weeks! It's been a busy month and it's only going to get busier with the holidays just around the corner! ☃️🎄
✨️ I am not taking on any new clients ✨️

🐾 I am fully booked for 2022! I do have a waitlist going but there is no guarantee on a spot before Christmas.

🐾 Space is getting tight for January- April, if you still need to prebook shoot me a message and we'll see what we can do!

🐾 My hill is very icy! But it's finally sanded. 🙌

🐾 follow me on Instagram:

I hope everyone is staying warm! 🥶

10/11/2022

✨️NOW PREBOOKING JANUARY 2023 - APRIL 2023 ✨️ Please read 👇👇

✨️ I am not taking on any new clients✨️

🐾 If you're a prebooker, please reach out. Don't rely on me to prebook your pup if you have not contacted me about it. I have hundreds of pups to schedule in and though I do try to remember everyone, I will miss some of you if you don't contact me!

🐾 I always answer in order the messages are received, please be patient as I will be very busy with messages while I try to book everyone in.

🐾 As posted below, prices will go up by 5% starting January 1, 2023. The last year has been hard on us all with rising costs, but to continue providing the quality of grooms I pride myself in maintaining I have to follow suit.

🐾 The Bark Shop is coming up on two years of business and I want to thank all of you for your continued support. 💕

09/27/2022

Photos from the last couple weeks ! 👇🥰🐶

🐾 I have a handful of appointments left in November/December, if you haven't booked already shoot me a message asap before this year is full!

🐾 I plan to start booking the new year by this Friday, watch for my next post coming this week with some important information on some small changes coming for 2023.

🐾 Please give me at least 24hours to reply to a message or text, or if it's a Friday I will respond by Sunday. I always answer in the order I recieve the messages in, so don't worry I see you!

🍂🎃

09/01/2022

It's September!!!🍂 That means it's finally fall right? 🎃

🐾 I will be away from September 2nd - 6th, all messages/texts will be replied to on the 7th.

🐾 I have only a handful of spots left before Christmas, mostly in November / early December so if you want your pup in before the New Year contact me ASAP. I will be responding to everyone in the order that I've received the messages TODAY and then on SEPTEMBER 7TH. If I don't get to you today, I will on the 7th, don't worry!

🐾 Please prebook, don't rely on me to do so without contact from you! I do try my best but I have hundreds of clients to keep up with and I do feel really terrible when I miss some of you!

✨️I'm not accepting new clients✨️

08/26/2022

Happy International Dog Day! 🐶🐾
I have whole pack of fur babies, so of course I have to share my favorite pictures of them! 📸🐩
Let's see pictures of your cute doggos! 🐾

08/03/2022

Happy to be back to the swing of things after being off for a few weeks! 🌸

🐾 I have no more wiggle room between now and October, if you have not prebooked the rest of the year I highly recommend doing so! 📅

🐾 I will be away August 12th - 14th 🌼

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer! 🌞

✨️ I am not taking on any new clients ✨️

07/12/2022

A baby Dudley to get your attention! 🌞
I will be unavailable these dates this summer! 👇👇

July 18th - 27th
August 12th - 14th
August 31st - September 6th

I will not have my phone or my planner with me, so all messages will be answered the following day.
Enjoy the summer weather! 🌸🌞

06/29/2022

It's been a hot minute since I've posted!

Please read the whole post! 👇👇

🐾 I am now able to book appointments for the rest of 2022, I will prioritize those I see every 4 weeks, then 6 weeks, then 8+. I feel this will be the easiest way for me to play tetris with my time slots and get everyone in.
📅 Please Facebook message or text me with preferred days/times/weeks. I may not respond right away but I will use it to get you spots that would likely work for us both, then I will reply with your scheduled appointments for confirmation.
🐾 I have 100+ clients at this point, the majority of you amazing people are on consistent schedules, so please be patient with me. 💕
🌞 I will be away for a couple weeks this summer, I will make a post following this one with the days I will be gone.

✨️ I am not taking on new clients ✨️

06/01/2022

The last couple weeks worth of pup pictures! 🐶

🐾 I will be away from June 1st - June 5th, all messages will be answered on Monday June 6th.
🐾 I have a handful of appointments left between now and September 30th. Once those are full my books will be closed for appointments until the end of June when I will book October - January. I appreciate everyone's patience with this process!

Enjoy that summer weather! ☀️ 🌸

05/16/2022

It's finally Spring out there! 🌦

✨ I am not taking on new clients ✨

🐾 I have a handful of morning appointments left available in August, and no more wiggle room in July. If you need a fall appointment book now!
🐾 Lice are going around again! It's recommended to keep your pup treated if they frequent places where there are lots of other pups coming and going, like grooming salons!

🌸🐶

05/05/2022

✨Permanent hours + Reminders✨

Bookings/messages outside of these days/hours are at my discretion.

🐾 Please be aware of my 24hour notice policy when canceling an appointment. I have a long cancelation list and with enough notice I can fill your spot if you do not need it. If you need me to resend your prebooked schedule please reach out! All no shows/late cancelation may result in a 50% fee.
🐾 Many of my frequent pups run right in the gate, but if your pup isn't as enthusiastic about their grooming appointment please leash them! My street can be very busy and safety will always be my number one concern, inside my grooming space and outside.

✨ I am not taking on new clients ✨

05/05/2022

Life has been busy these last few weeks and I hugely apologize for the lack of posting! Thank you so much for everyone's patience, and though I haven't taken as many photos as I usually try to here's a collection from the last few weeks! 📷💕

✨ I am not taking on new clients✨

🐾 I'm currently booking into AUGUST, I know that's crazy, so if you're not a prebooker please message me ASAP.
🐾 I have finally decided on my permanent hours, which I will post following this one. My hours will not change through the year, but I will be opening my books in sections so to make planning my personal life easier. I'm not booking farther then September for now.

Watch for my next post updating hours and policy reminders! 🌞

04/15/2022

Photo dump!! 📷🐶🐾

✨ I'm not taking on any new clients ✨

Some reminders:

🐾 Please allow me 24 hour notice if you need to cancel your appointment. I understand life happens, but with an increase of no shows it does impact my business. Most of my clients are on a prebooked schedule, if you need me to resend your dates please reach out! 🙂

🐾 It's Easter weekend! I won't be available April 16th - 17th, but I will respond to everyone on Monday!

Have a Hoppy Bunny Day! 🐰🌸

03/25/2022

It has been a hot minute since I've posted and I apologize but to make up for it here's a photo dump! 📷🐶

✨I am not taking on new clients✨

🐾 I'm currently booking up to September, so make sure you prebook your appointments to get the spots you want!

🐾 Lice are out and about again, they are very contagious and super easy to come across. I highly recommend getting your dog regularly treated if your dog regularly gets groomed, visits daycare, goes to dog parks or anywhere else other dogs frequent! 🪳🌼

03/13/2022

With the change in mandates I plan on continuing to wear a mask upon pickup/drop off but it is your choice to wear yours! 🥳

🚘 During pickup/drop off I will still come to the drive way to do so, though you are welcome to come to the door. If you come to the door please do not come early, if I'm still working on a pup when you knock it could be dangerous if the dog reacts suddenly (also I wear head phones while I work so I probably won't hear you if I'm not expecting you, and the door is on the opposite end of the house as my work room).

🔨 I'm planning to renovate this summer so I will have a functional space I can welcome my lovely clients into!

Below is my supervisor Bubbles, he over sees all operations from a far but does occasionally peak in to welcome his favorites. 🐱

03/02/2022

It's March!! That means it's almost spring right? 🌞🌷🌼

✨ I am not taking on any new clients✨

A few important things!

🐾 Please do not come more then 15 minutes early, especially for 9am appointments unless you are okay with waiting in your vehicle!

🐾 PREBOOKING UP TO SEPTEMBER, I'm so lucky to have probably 99% of my clientele be loyal prebookers, but that also means there's a lot of pups to prebook! 🤣 Facebook message or text are the best ways to get in touch, give me a shout with what works for you and we will get things organized for the summer! 🏝

Happy Valentines Day!! 💕💕
Here's a handful of handsome pooches!

✨I'm not taking on any new clients✨

🐾 I'm not quite ready to book past April as of now, but watch my page as I will post soon opening my books for May-September! 🏝

🐾 Snow and ice filled my regular walk way so I will be taking in and bringing out pups through the deck side of my house for the time being! ❄

02/01/2022

A bunch of beautiful puppers! + my handsome boy snuck in there too 🥰

✨ I'm not taking on any new clients ✨

🐾 I had a few spaces open up through April, if you're still in need don't wait long to message me!

I haven't posted much because I've really dropped the ball on the picture taking the last few weeks! Here's the handful I did get! 🐶

✨ I am not taking on new clients✨

🐾 January - April is nearly full, if you need a March/April appointment please contact me asap!

🐾 It's chilly out! If you are not comfortable driving on icy roads I absolutely understand rebooking. Please let me know prior to you appointment time,(ideally 24hr notice but the weather isn't always that predictable) and we can work out another time!

🐾 Also a reminder that my new hours are in effect! I will be working Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays until April at least!

📞 Text (236)792-0844) and Facebook messenger are the best ways to contact me!
