Muddypawz Pet Sitting/Nail Trims

20/08/2024

We were thrilled to reconnect with one of our beloved clients this week. Our journey together began last year, but was temporarily halted due to Puddy's knee surgery, which made walks impossible. However, Puddy's excitement at seeing us again was unmistakable, as she persistently led us to the gate, hopeful for a stroll.

Although walks were not possible, we compensated with an abundance of love and playtime. We look forward to the day when we can take Puddy on a leisurely walk, even if it's just a short one. Puddy holds a special place in our hearts. ❤️

We have been busy busy busy! We really truly appreciate all of the support! With so many referrals we have about a month wait! Here are a few pics of the amazing pets we love.

The first set are our personal dogs including my brother in laws amazing dogs he adopted from me and the next set( after the pic of my crazy fool in the mud🙄) are clients pets. We love them as our own. ❤️❤️❤️

We have the coolest clients and their pets are ever cooler! These dogs travel all over competing in world competitions and have many metals to show for their hard work, love and dedication to the dog sport world. They are a huge inspiration to someone like us just getting our feet wet. This will be our first year. They make it look so easy but we know better. ♥️

We will not be doing any walks this week until the snow/ice melts. With the cold temps it is too dangerous for the dogs and their exposed skin. We will either add an extra walk to their schedule next week or we will adjust your invoice at the end of the month. Please keep your pets safe in these cold temps. ❤️

This little guy is one of our favorites! Who are we kidding??? We say that about all of our 4 legged clients! We love them all! However, seniors hold a special place in my heart.

Especially the tiny ones who are convinced they are 100lb puppies. I absolutely love this little dudes spit fire attitude!! He gets fed ham or ice cream while I trim his nails and that keeps him very happy!! 😍❤️😘

We are watching one of our favorite seniors for a couple of days. We love him so much. So does his mom. He has been with us since the beginning. ❤️❤️❤️

10/09/2023

We were able to see our old foster dog Droo and get his nails trimmed, as well as we met the cutest little corgi puppy and his mom. He absolutely loved us and we were able to completely trim his nails. We absolutely love what we do. ❤️❤️❤️

The first three times we trimmed Droos nails..it was like a bucking bronco. We both got thrown off the bed...but now there is little fight and he knows he gets playtime and treats both before and after. It is all about connecting with them and letting them know you are not going to hurt them. ❤️❤️❤️

Hesperus and Aether have been having some issues with leash aggression. With a clicker and treats we are able to refocus when they see a person/dog.

If we are able we will go the opposite way, but sometimes that is not possible. In those times, we are slowly getting to where we have little to no reaction. We are so proud of these boys. We love our adventure time twice a week with them. ❤️

22/08/2023

Your favorite pet care ladies took the day off from our jobs and the business to be here for the P!nk Concert. Brandy Carlile was the opening and she was AMAZING!!! We are only TEN rows away from our girl!!!

We will be back in business Wednesday! Please message us if you need services! We love you all for your love and support. We miss all of your pets as much as our own. Fun fact....we hit 250 clients this weekend!!! From starting with a handful of clients in December to 250 now 9 months later.

We are growing fast but what we can promise you is we will never grow too big that our quality of care is compromised. That is exactly why we started our own business. After working for someone for years who saw money signs over quality of care, we learned alot of what not to do as pet cwre professionals.

We wouldnt be where we are without you all and we will continue to prove to be the best for you and your pets. We have stopped taking new clients aside from those that were refered by cleints. We want to make sure we can give you the best care as we expect for ours...which is ALOT. We really appreciate all of the trust you put in us. ❤️❤️❤️

Keep a look out for a special give away soon!!!! Just to show our appreciation!

Reunited and it feels soooooo good!!!

This boy went CRAZY!!! Shelila Holm and I used to pet sit for them when we worked for a company. One night their other dog Miley, went into seizures and stopped breathing at 2am. I did CPR on her all the way to the ER. We were able to save her through CPR and intensive vet care. It was found out she had some issues. I've always been so thankful she didn't pass that night, but was able to pass with her family a couple of months later.

Her owners moved back to Delaware. We have always stayed close. One night she was joking with me how she wished we could watch the dogs as she doesn't trust many at all with this big boy. It turned into a serious conversation and well...here we are!!! In Delaware for a week!! I love these dogs like they are my own. Jeter loves us both so much, we were always his favorite sitters. We are beyond excited to see him again and spend an entire week together.

The other cutie is Dolly. This is my first time meeting her. She is the biggest sweetheart I love her so much already. We are going to have an amazing week Petsitting and checking out this lovely state and what it has to offer.

I am incredibly proud of the business we have built. Going from 10 clients to over 200 is something we never expected. Someone trusting us with their dogs so much that they want us to come to their state to watch them, never in a million years would I have expected that. The trust you all put into us with your pets means the world to us and I promise we love them as much as you do!! We absolutely LOVE what we do. ❤️❤️❤️

13/07/2023

Meet our newest walking client, Puddy!!! She is the absolute sweetest and best girl!! She is the biggest lover and gets so excited when we come over. She knows we are going to have some fun!! She LOVES her walks and is very well behaved for us. This girl is always full of smiles! Isn't she a pretty pitty?!? Welcome to the pack, Puddy! ❤️🥰😍

This big boy, Samson was our first client before we even decided to make a business of this! Before we even imagined we would have 50 clients let alone over 200! He has been here from the start, 7 months ago!

He is a 90 lb big boy with a lot of strength. His owners knew he would need to be muzzled. He did not like nail trims but let us do it every single month without fail. Last night was his 8th nail trim. He had been doing better and seemed pretty calm so we decided to try without the muzzle.

He sat there and just let us trim his nails!!! This big boy went from being terrified and needing to be muzzled to this. I am so beyond proud of him!!! We LOVE y'all's support and reviews, they mean the world to us. That being said there is no better level of satisfaction than when we are able to cut a dog's nails without a muzzle or reaction.

This is because we take our time. Every new client I warn them to set aside 45 minutes to an hour for the appointment. We get to know your pets , we take our time and we make it a positive experience. They realize we are not going to hurt them and they can trust us! When they realize this...they get to trust you. We have been able to successfully get many pets to this point, this one is just really special to me because 7 months ago I would have thought we never would reach this day, yet here we are!!! We love what we do. ❤️❤️❤️

10/07/2023

We will be closed from July 19th through the 31st. We are taking a much needed family vacation! I have reached out to all of our clients who need to get in before we leave. If you need to schedule, we still have a few spots open.

The office and phone lines will be closed from the 19th through the 31st. We will resume business on Tuesday August 1st. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!! We love and appreciate you all! ❤️❤️❤️

27/05/2023

Once again we are blown away by all of the love and support!!! Y'all are keeping us busy busy busy!!!!! We posted one ad that connected us with 72 new clients. Just one ad!!! A few are word of mouth and we have more referrals coming in every day! We are averaging 25 appointments a week!

If you have messaged us for services, you have received a general automated message. Next, we will be messaging each of you to see what your individual needs are! Please be patient with us as we did not expect 72 new clients from one ad!

If you are new to our business, please know you are in great hands! We have ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ across the board and are always looking to help others. We both have full time jobs so do this on the side. However if you all keep up recommending us and keeping us this busy, we may decide to make this a full time gig. However we can't do that without you all. So please tell your friends!!

We are about two weeks out on appointments right now so we can get everyone in who has messaged. If you are in immediate need with your dog's nails, PLEASE reach out to us. We can work the schedule around to fit you in!

As I say to every single new client, we only take so many a week. We want to make sure we schedule enough time, especially the first time . This last weekend we visited a dog who's nail was curled and stuck in his pad. At first she was going to wait, but we were able to get her in 2 days after contacting us. He is feeling so much better.

The client sent us a pic later that evening with the pup on his back completely relaxed. Another dog we were able to get her nails trimmed when she didn't want ANYONE touching her. The last thing the owner told us is "she likes to go for the face". We took our time and had absolutely no problems with her. We want their session with us to be as comfortable and positive as possible. ❤️❤️❤️

We absolutely love the support and all of the kind words from our customers!!!However...nothing makes us feel happier than reviews from our furry friends!!!

The first time we trimmed Grim's nails, he had to have meds and have a muzzle on as well. We really spent a lot of time on the first visit getting to know them and making them feel comfortable.

By the third visit this crazy boy just went belly up and stayed completely still. No meds or muzzles. Just belly scratches and treats!! We were simply amazed at how quick he came to trust us.

This is exactly why we do not give you exact times. This is why we make sure we do not overbook. Quality over quantity will always be very very important to us. Your dog being comfortable makes everyone's life easier!

Of course not all pets are going to react this way, but we have been able to get totally terrified pets to be a lot less stressed during the whole thing. We have serviced approximately 160 pets since we started in late December.

Thank you so much again to all of our supporters! As much as y'all say we are a lifesaver, we couldn't do this without you! We are very proud of the small business we have created and cannot wait to meet so many more pets and their wonderful owners. ❤️❤️❤️

I am still figuring things out as far as a name change and how to go about adding services for the business but we are going to give it a go!

First of all we are offering grooming services. We will shave, cut and trim your pets hair for maintenance. Shelila is learning and would love some experience. We have been offering it to our original clients and they have all been very satisfied!

Another service we are offering has absolutely nothing to do with pet sitting but is a passion of mine and I found out many need help! We are offering house cleaning/ organizing. I love love love cleaning others houses and helping them feel a sense of relief when they have their house deep cleaned or maybe just a maintenance clean!

Please let us know if we can help you out! Also let us know if you have a good name for us that serves all aspects of our business!

14/03/2023

We received a question...
Do we give cats baths??? Sorry folks...I guess that is a big no! 🤣🤣🤣

20/02/2023

We had some really cute clients this weekend! Sammy and Daisy were very nervous the first visit. Today was their third visit, wagging tails as soon as they saw us pull up. They were not used to or a fan of trims.

Their first appointment took 48 minutes for a trim. Today we were trimmed and dremeled in 27 minutes! We do not rush. We go at your pets pace no matter how long that takes. We also got our first walk in as a family with our new puppy Grigsby. We love your pets as if they are our own and had such a fun day with so many adorable one! ❤️❤️❤️

19/02/2023

Our price sheet is up! If you have any questions please let us know! We want to thank everyone so much for all the love and support. Our new business cards and flyers will be here soon.

During our first month was our promotional month. We have 103 clients for nail trims alone! That is incredible for us. We had no idea there was such a high demand for it.

We are still taking clients as we are spacing our clients out in a way that allows us to do on average 50 nail trims a week! 90% of the dogs we see, most need more than just a maintenance trim.

If your dog is a little difficult or lacks some behavioral skills, don't be afraid to reach out. We know those are probably the ones that need it most! That is what we do!

In all of our nail trims we have done there has only been two we have not been able to trim. One dog will definitely have to be sedated for everyone's safety and the other we are slowly socializing with her when we go to cut her sister's nails. She is slowly getting used to us. Her mama is her person and she protects her. We get it.

We are not here just to trim their nails. We want to get to know and understand them. We want to build that trust and bond with them as well as you! Your pets are just as important as our own! Because of this we do not rush and we do not give exact times, but a 30 minute time frame. We keep in contact if anything changes.

If you are interested in our services we would love to meet you and your pets! Check out the two cuties we are pet sitting for while their mom is out of town. We are all already best friends! We serve most of the Kansas City area!

06/02/2023

We have officially been in business for a month. We cannot thank everyone enough for all of the support! We had no idea how many needed this simple service, and how busy we would be!! In just one month, our total sales from nail trims alone was $1,379!! That is just insane!!

To break it down the total sales of $1379 averages as follows:
9 days worked in January
25.6 hours worked total
2.84 average work/day
$153/day
$53/hr
36 miles averaged a day
31.25 average sale per customer!

Again we are blown away from all of the love and support. We really appreciate you trusting us with your pets. As soon as we get the work vehicle back we will be offering pet sitting services outside of the Independence area. We should have it back by the end of February! Please message us to setup a time to meet and let us know your dates. If you have used our service, don't forget to leave your honest review and you will receive $5 off your next nail trim.

Our little guys name is Grigsby. He is around 3 months old. We have had him for 2 and a half weeks. He is already so loved and completes our family. Some of you know the devastating tragedy we faced in the beginning of November with our boy Gimley.

Our hearts are slowly healing and he is helping so much. He is learning move every day! Today was his first day of puppy classes. He did so well! If your puppy or even older dog needs some training, we highly highly recommend The Pet Connection! They are amazing and they train by positive reinforcement only. I saw some great things in that class today and I am excited to grow that bond together.

We will be doing many more training classes. He will be learning agility as well as dock diving. We were unable to do any of these things with Gimley due to COVID. We have a chance to help shape this little guy in everything we want and need him to be, all while growing that bond and learning what he needs from us to help him be successful.

The rest of our bunch is Mama Ein. She is an 11 year old very loved and crazy corgi. She still acts like a puppy and loves everything(except puppies🤦) and everyone! Roscoe the Bandit is the other corgi. He is so beautiful and our little weirdo. Then we have Daisy. Anyone that has had or knows anything about terriers...I don't need to explain her. You will understand. I swear she is a bear stuck in a dogs body. 🤣

Well that is our crazy crew! We love them all. All of their personalities are so different but they all vibe well for the most part. Feel free to drop some pics and a little intro of your pets as well! ❤️🐕😍

It truly means the world to us, not only to have 5 stars across the board from clients but to also have so much trust put in us with your pets!

This message came from a FB rescue friend. We have yet to meet in person but have worked together in different rescue situations. We have never met and yet she sends me this message. To trust someone with your diabetic dog that you have never met, that means the world to us!!

We treat your pets like they are our own. Your pets are like our family. We will make sure they are well taken care of, safe and when it's time for you to come back home they will be happy and ready to see you!❤️🐕❤️

You also save on light grooming services and pet sitting services as well!

We really appreciate everyone's support and trusting us with your pets! We are growing so fast! We love them as if they were our own. Don't forget, if you have used our services please go leave an honest review on FB and you will receive $5 off your next trim. We have met so many new friends along the way. We are doing what we love. We thank you for supporting small businesses...it's so important.

We had some pretty cute clients over the weekend. We love coming back to a house after the first time and seeing the dog start to be comfortable and relax with us.😍🐾🐶❤️

24/01/2023

We are very excited to share, starting Feb 1st we will be offering a new service! Pretty paws...we will paint your pets nails!

This service will cost 15 per pet. We are using non toxic, pet safe paint. We will Dremel the dogs nail to get it rough, put a bottom coat of white to make the colors pop and then add the color of your choice! The paint is fast drying in under 30 seconds with no smudges.

This service must be requested the day before services, so we make sure we block off enough time. If you are interested in learning more, please feel free to send us a message. ❤️

22/01/2023

If your pets nails look like this, you need us!! Today we visited some of our first clients who were finally ready for the Dremel. Their nails look SO much better in just a couple of months! No more scratching your floors or hearing that annoying clicking.❤️

21/01/2023

We test all of the equipment we use on our own pets! We wouldn't use anything on your pets that we won't use on ours. All of our equipment is researched thoroughly and tested to make sure it is safe and comfortable for the pets! Our number one priority is their safety and comfort...our second, is your satisfaction in the services we provide. The pets come first at Muddypawz.❤️
