Buckle up! This is going to be a long one!
Over the last 2 years, I have had to step my schedule back for personal reasons, I drastically reduced my client list and have been inactive on all of my social media pages & previous work number. (If you have reached out & have not gotten a response, this is why.)
I did try to inform the ones that were on somewhat irregular schedules as well & I understand that some clients got lost in the mix. I do apologize for seeming to fall off the face of the earth, it was in no way intentional or personal. With that being said I finally have some good news!

We are now bringing on select clients just in time for the much needed holiday grooms!
We are looking to bring on clients that would like to come on as a regular 4-8 week schedule.
As of now we are only able to accept new & returning clients that meet a certain criteria to make the best effort to form a long term grooming relationship for years to come with your pup!
Please reach out if it sounds like you & your pup would be a good fit!
- accepting both bath & bath/haircut clients
- address must be Statesville, Olin, Union Grove only.
- small & medium dogs only - weight/size around 35lbs or less. (Slightly negotiable) bath dogs possible exception as well.
- flexible enough schedule - please keep in mind I try to keep clients on the same days in the same areas if possible.
-Days available mon-thurs 9-2 (latch key is an option if working hours conflict)
- minimum grooming prices start at $80 for haircut package & $50 for bath packages.
-Along with the size limit I can no longer accept standard poodles/doodles and most likely only select doodles.
-texting/messaging preferred for most if not all interactions except emergencies - unfortunately with the nature of mobile I need to be able to look back at previous conversations or can't answer the phone while working and this makes it easier for both parties.

I know this will exclude many people/dogs and I do apologize, mobile grooming is its own beast and I would love for my body, mind & soul to be able to continue caring for pups for many more years.

If you have previously reached out and haven't gotten a response, it is most likely lost so please feel free to reach back out.

Thank you and I look forward to starting new relationships with you and your pet!

Keep an eye out on your bug loving furry friends. They are not usually lethal unless consumed In large quantities but can embed in your pets mouths releasing a harmful toxin making them sick.

They look like ladybugs, but they are something totally different! And it turns out, they can make your pets sick.

With the hustle & bustle of school starting the last few weeks, don't put you pups on the back burner! We have grooming and bathing appts available with Carla & Jessica next week!

Tick-borne diseases are transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. These include Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Powassan (POW), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Tularemia. Ticks can be infected with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Keep your pups on year round prevention!

This tick has been hanging around for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container with no additional feeding she laid eggs. This gives you an idea of how long a tick can be dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember ticks bloom again in the fall so keep up with prevention.

🐾long winded post🐾 I apologize to anyone that has tried to call, text or message in the couple of weeks & has not received a timely response. I have been over booked trying to catch up from Christmas. I have had many new inquiries since most are looking for a mobile option due to Covid.

I don't want to have to turn anyone away. However, there are only so many hours in a day & one person can only handle so many at a time. I apologize whole heartily for non responses to inquiries.

Just reiterate to save both parties time,
I am only taking new clients in the Statesville/Olin area & I am no longer taking any new large breed clients. Anything over 35lbs will possibly be accepted on a case by case basis. Anything over 55lb, im sorry but I can not accept at this time.

Also, my work number will no longer be reachable after 5 o'clock & on weekends. As a business owner, I rarely get to be "off the clock" however, I have to take time for myself and my family. I hope everyone understands.

As of now, I am booked out about 3 weeks. If you would like to schedule out to my first availability (Mid February) I would be happy to do so, please just leave me a message and I will respond as quickly as I am able.

I am working on an online booking option to make the booking process less time consuming. As well as I will post ESTIMATE prices on my website soon.

As always, thank you for being patient.
