Finally, I have some good news for my clients! I successfully avoided another back surgery (or two)! Thank you to Precision Chiropractic, I am slowly recovering from a total of four bulging discs. I have hired help and will be working three days a week until I feel ready to do more.

The sad news is that I have spondylolisthesis in my low back, which explains a lot of my lower back issues/pain. Because of this, my ultimate goal for Catherine's Grooming is to keep full-time help to maintain the health of my back.

I do know that some people were not able to find a groomer since I have been out, those are the shaggy pups that I would like to help first. My first available right now is mid-January - I will keep dogs a bit longer than normal just because I am a little rusty and slow.
Please feel free to shoot me a text, I have not reached out to everyone quite yet! I hope everyone everyone had a wonderful holiday. Happy New Year!

Love, Your dog's best friend,
Catherine Foster

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give you all an update on my back. While I was initially told that surgery was my only option, I've decided to explore other treatment options, leaving that as my final solution. I'm committed to finding a solution that will allow me to continue doing what I love – grooming your furry friends.

I appreciate your understanding and support during this time. I'll keep you all posted on my progress.

Happy Holidays to all ❣️

Thanks,
Catherine Foster

Hello friends,

I have rather unfortunate news for myself and my clients. I have been struggling with immense pain in my neck and lower back. Yesterday I learned from my neurosurgeon that I will need two separate back surgeries. With a heavy heart, I am canceling my upcoming appointments. I know that this is inconvenient and frustrating, especially during the holiday season. I am also frustrated that I am unable to do my job that I love so much. Please do what is best for your furry companions during this time. My future is not very clear right now, I do not know when my surgeries will take place. When I do have more information then I will update everyone.

I am in the midst of hiring help and in that case I can reach out to those that were recently canceled [depending on the circumstance].

Please hug your dogs for me; I am devastated.

PS if you cannot be compassionate or understanding then simply find a new groomer, no need to kick a gal while she's down.

Your dog's best friend,
Catherine Foster

Holidays are approaching, and I am thrilled to be so busy and wish I could fulfill everyone's grooming requests, but there are only so many hours in a day so unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients.

I appreciate those who have planned properly and booked in a timely manner. I recommend booking now if you have not already!

Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies and choosing Catherine's Grooming 🤎💛❤️

Happy July everyone! My inbox is full of questions and requests so I figured I would reintroduce myself! My name is Catherine Foster. I am happily married; we have lived in Pelham for 8+ years. Dogs have always been a HUGE part of my life, so naturally my first job was at a vet clinic and after high school I started working at a grooming salon. I just turned 31 and cannot imagine myself doing anything else. This job has a lot of challenges, giving an all over body haircut to someone that does not speak English, gets distracted by a squirrel, and may or may not be familiar with a bath, nail trim, etc. can be difficult especially without assistance. Although, the rewarding part of this job is EVERYTHING! I have pets that used to be fully sedated to get groomed safely and now enjoy their grooming process without sedation. Pets that used to run from the hairbrush and now sleep during their brushout, or even educating clients on how to do at home grooming care - it all brings me joy!

Catherine's Grooming is a one-woman business [licensed and insured]. I am the bather, groomer, receptionist, janitor, HR department, manager, etc. If you call or text me and do not hear back, then do not hesitate to try again! Right now, I am only accepting new clients with small breeds. I have a few more spots available in July and will be closed for 10 days in August. If you are an existing client and your pup needs a bath or trim, then book now!! Thank you for supporting my small business!

Call, text, or direct message to book an appointment.
Your dog will thank you!!
