Ok, sorry not sorry, but it's soapbox time. I'm not going to call anyone out by replying to any specific comment, not just to not be mean, but because I've seen the same comment again and again over the years. "Why is house call so expensive, why is it a luxury, there's little to no overhead, etc, etc"
I'll talk about some of that; I'm sure not for the last time.
It's so expensive because it IS a luxury. It's a time saver because the client doesn't have to waste time dropping off and picking up their dog. They may not even need to be home. It's a specialized service because you're more likely to find a house caller who will let you sit there and watch than any other type of groomer. The dog doesn't have to take a car trip and be around other dogs; not every dog likes or is good with those things.
It's expensive because, in a shop, I can comfortably do twice the number of dogs as I can do house calls, more if you throw in bath dogs.
It's a luxury because, unlike most (not all, calm down) shops, the groomer works one-on-one straight through with the pet.

Now let's talk overhead.
You still need a reliable vehicle and quality tools and products. Are you paying rent on a brick-and-mortar? No. Do you need to carry just as much insurance? Yes. A client could slip in slashed water or a slippery spray.

But no one talks about the actual equipment cost in house call. The equipment gets far more damaged doing house calls, no matter how careful you are, than in any other type of grooming. The equipment that, if it gets damaged enough, either ends your career completely, costs you tens to hundreds of thousands to repair (if you can even repair it), and impacts your quality of life for the rest of your life. You. Your body. I'm a little Miss Ergonomics, but when dragging my equipment up & down flights of stairs and having no control of counter heights in someone's house, even I am challenged to keep the wear & tear to a minimum.
Holly Hill once said that house calls were the most convenient for the customer and inconvenient for the groomer. That stuck with me hard. That's why it's a luxury service. That's why the pricing is what it is.

What is House Call Grooming?

House call grooming is a form of mobile pet grooming as the groomer is mobile and they come to you. It is a luxury service that provides pet grooming performed by a professional groomer. The groomer brings their tools and equipment to your house to groom your dog in your home. Typically they bring everything needed to complete a professional-quality groom including a table. They just set up the table in a convenient spot and bathe your dog in a bathtub or sink. Some people are concerned by the mess of the fur in their home but in most cases, there is a minimal amount of mess. The fur is easily contained and will simply get vacuumed up.

🐶What are the benefits of House Call Grooming?

House call grooming provides a comfortable and low-stress environment for your dog during one of the most stressful things that they endure in their life. That is to say when you have your dog groomed in their own domain you are giving them the comfort and sense of well being that everything is ok and that no one is leaving them behind. Even if a dog gets groomed on a regular basis it sometimes doesn’t get easier on them. This depends greatly on everything that happens to them while being groomed.

🐶Who is House Call Grooming Best Suited For?

House call grooming is pretty much the best option for most dogs.
Some dogs that will benefit the most are:
Small dogs
Senior dogs
New puppies
Dogs that don’t do well at a salon
Owners who can’t or prefer not to leave the house
Dogs with separation anxiety
Special needs dogs that cannot be accommodated at a salon.

House call grooming is also great for those who want to be present while their pup is being groomed. This alternative provides transparency that no other method of pet grooming can offer. Above all, this is comforting, especially for families who may have had a negative experience taking their dog somewhere away from their home.

🐶Who is House Call Grooming Not For?

House call grooming is great for any dog however, it will be more difficult ,and messier, for the bigger shedding dogs and just isn’t possible to contain a mess with these large dogs. It is also harder for the groomer to groom the larger dogs in this setting. Carrying a table around suited for the larger-sized breeds is just not practical moreover is just not safe. Talk with me before booking an appointment, and make sure to let me know the size of your dog and your location near Scottsboro,Al
1. It is also not ideal for owners who do not have a large enough sink or a bathtub.
Owners who do not have a large enough space or adequate lighting in their home for the groomer to safely be able to complete the service.
2. Households with a lot of commotion as well as too many distractions thus making conditions too dangerous.

🐶What services are provided with house call grooming?

House call groomers can provide quality full grooming services right in your home. Above all, any service provided by an in-salon groomer can also be provided by a house call groomers.

These services include:
Nail cutting/grinding
Brushing
Bathing
Expression of glands
Trimming
Haircut
Professional Pet Styling

In conclusion, house call grooming is a wonderful service that is full of benefits with basically no downside for you or your dog. Experience how dog grooming should be done! Call Today!

I know a bunch of people think my pricing is too high. But if you think about it...by the time my taxes are taken out and I replenish my gas I am lucky to walk away with$20. This is why I HAVE to add the traveling fee to the price of the groom. Without it there is no use in my traveling to client homes so they can enjoy that luxury. For this I apologize but it just isn't feasible for me to travel 30+ minutes for $20.

10/03/2023

It has come to my attention that I am not charging enough for my in home grooms. From here on I will have to utilize a traveling fee to cover the usage of my vehicle and my gas. This charge will be added onto the price of the service provided🐶Below are the charges for traveling:

0-5mi:$30
6-10mi:$40
11-16mi:$50
17-22mi:$60
23-28mi:$70.
