All appointments canceled tomorrow due to weather. I will reschedule asap. Foward appointments after that may be changed or switched to different day to accommodate those that missed. I will be very backed up due to holidays break and bad weather cancellations so I appreciate everyone’s patience until caught up. Thank you! Please keep your family and pets warm! ❤️🙏🏼

New policy Changes for 2024

1. I no longer service dogs over 25 #.
Due to the nature of mobile salon service, the small space make grooming larger pets difficult to work around safely and hard to breathe clean air. If you own a large pet, I recommend using brick and mortar grooming facilities.

2. I only except CASH or check. I do not use any Venmo or other means of digital exchange. I’m convenient and come to your home to groom pet. Some Select Crypto currencies may be available in future.

3. I will no longer service NEW client homes that have a ring doorbell or any camera type surveillance. I practice my 4th amendment and the right to privacy. This absurdity need to surveillance every movement of every living creature and man near a home is proof of the fear mongering toxic television of today’s world and the government encroachment of personal privacy. (Yes they can tap into anything) My suggestion is to get to know the natural laws, your neighbors and start a watch. If you are a current client with a camera type doorbell, please put a piece of painters tape over lens. Recommendation: Read book “1984” by George Orwell.

4. Can no longer service pet if lawn service are working at same time. The distraction makes grooming pets dangerous and stressful. Please schedule lawn care services on a different day or advise lawn workers to keep far distance of van. If this is not possible, this can result in a cancellation fee.

5. Prices are subject to change at any time of economic abnormalities.

Thank you for your patronage and Happy New Year! 🙏🏼❤️

I hope everyone has a wonderful upcoming holiday and a happy new year…🎄
I will be closed starting Dec. 23 - Jan. 8.
Thanks to my wonderful loyal clientele, I currently have no openings available. I appreciate all my fur babies and their families! ❤️

12/28/2022

***New changes, charges and price adjustments for 2023 go as follows:

To All my wonderful regulars that are not on my 4 week or less standing appointments:
I can only provide an appointment date and time when someone cancels on my schedule. This may take days, weeks or months, please have a plan B if necessary. (I’ll be happy to recommend someone else.) Finding the time to schedule non standing appointments is becoming a challenge with my crazy busy life as a single parent. If you would like to get on my 4 week standing schedule please let me know ASAP to put you on my waitlist.

Fecal/vomit clean up fee $10.00
please have your pet use the bathroom before I arrive. Please do not feed or give treats 2 hours prior to my arrival to avoid this fee. Includes extra bath if needed. Thank you

Rescheduling fee $10.00.
Any requests to change appointment time or date requires time from my already busy personal life.
I have to make multiple phone calls and sometimes change routes. Please make arrangements to have a key on file or someone else to be home if you are not able to be home at the assigned day and time to avoid this fee.

Dog retrieval fee starting @ $10.00.
If no one is home and I have to hunt for pet through out the home, especially under beds. This is very stressful for me and the pet, not to mention very time consuming and back breaking. Please have your pet secured in a small area or kennel for me to easily access for grooming to avoid this fee.

Reminder: When I hand out next appointment, the time that I give to you, for example 2-3. is an estimated arrival time, not the time I will be at location. Some grooming take longer than an hour, so do not plan around that assumption. I give myself an hour window. If I arrive at 3:00, I am not considered late. There are so many unpredictable situations that happen that are out of my control. I will advise you if I will be later or earlier than the time given prior to appointment time.

Pet swaps are no longer accepted. I will no longer groom a different pet in place of another. I have my day planned out according to normal pet grooming time of original pet. Sorry, I am on a very tight schedule on the south shore.

Inconvenience fee starting @ $10 will be applied to situations of waiting on someone to retrieve/surrender pet to me for grooming. I send a text (on my way) prior to arrival. That means I’m 20mins or less away. Please have pet ready. Much appreciated!

No longer excepting Venmo or other electronic transactions (and maybe checks if new law goes into effect.)
CASH or checks only please. If you do not have payment at time of grooming we can make other arrangements but there may be a late payment fee...?
ATM’s are close by everywhere. Please plan ahead.

Price adjustments will be advised prior to grooming. Due to inflation, there will be price evaluation for each pet on schedule in 2023. Unfortunately everything has gone up. I will do my best to keep my prices steady and as low as possible.

Late payment fee $10.00
Payments that are not received at time of service. (Sorry but I don’t have time remembering about who paid or didn’t paid what.)

Request only services:
•Anal glands,
I no longer do automatically due to conflicts with vets and other reasons. I’ll be happy to do by request only. I do not charge extra for this service. I do it as a courtesy for you and pet. External expressions only.

•Bows or bandanas,
I don’t want to be responsible for any situations that may harm a pet. Bows can be accidentally swallowed and pets can be accidentally strangled with bananas. None of these things happened to any of my customers in 30 years of business but it only takes one time. I’ll be happy to provide them by request only. They are complimentary

As of 2023 I am no longer excepting pets over 30 #’s. (I will still continue to service the pets that are over 30 on my current standing schedule as long as my body is able.)
I am a 95 # one woman show and grooming these larger pets in my small space is very uncomfortable, physically challenging and very time consuming. Unfortunately finding help is very unpredictable and undependable. If you know of any please let me know! Serious experienced inquires only. Humans only, no bots please! 🙂

No longer taking new requests to be added to wait list unless it’s for a current client. Too many to keep track of.

I am reducing my hours at work. Commuting across the bridge is taking a toll on my quality of life not to mention the dreaded groomer burn out I’m experiencing. (My family live on the north shore so my time is very limited on the south shore.)
This is a very physically challenging labor intensive, stressful career that doesn’t allow a (real) lunch break. (Eat and run lunch breaks not good for digestion) (self care is health care)

I do not complain a lot and I’m usually very patience and understanding with my customers but lately it’s been causing a lot of grief in my personal life as a parent. This doesn’t pertain to most but just putting it out there as a little reminder that I do this as a living, not for fun and that I do have a family to tend too on the north shore so time is of the essence.

Thank you all so much for your devoted loyalty to my small business. Because of you, I am able to thrive and provide for my family in this beautifully but challenging hand crafted society. I absolutely love what I do and plan to do this comfortably for many more years to come.

Peace be with you and your fur babies during the holiday seasons! I love you all very much! ❤️
Happy new year! 🎉
ONE LOVE! ❤️🐾
