About: I am available in the evenings and weekends so I can be with your pets at all time and tend to their needs. I have owned dogs my whole life as well as cats. I have also grown up on a farm so I am very comfortable caring for large farm animals as well. I have 2 dogs of my own who are both very dog friendly and 1 cat who sometimes thinks she's a dog but doesn't care for other cats as she was attacked by other cats before we took her in. I love all animals and breeds don't matter to me. Your fur child will be treated and cared for like they are my own! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have long leads, go for walks and go to the dog parks frequently so your pet would get plenty of exercise.

About: Hey! Appreciate you for stopping by on my page.❤️ Here’s a little background info on me 😊 Working with animals has always been my passion. I’ve worked with animals all my life- and professionally for 6 years now. I have trained and worked as a kennel technician, taken multiple animal behavioral classes, attended many seminars and events in regards to my profession and am always looking to learn more to be the best I can for the dogs I serve. I have been a professional dog groomer since February 2018. I have a great deal of experience with pups in many aspects so I’m able to provide exceptional care, catering to each and every dogs specific needs. I’ve worked in many different settings such as my own home, different types of grooming salons, shelters, luxury boarding facilities— I’ve seen it all. Things like Maintaining different feeding regimens for different diets, providing and administering medications & medical assistance when needed, creating a soothing, comfortable atmosphere for pups as they would have in their own homes, and insuring the well being, happiness, and safety of every dog I work with are all things I take great pride in. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you give me the chance to care for your pup and provide you exceptional service! ❤️🐾 . ✨Along with exceptional per care, I also offer additional grooming services upon request.✨ If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask! I am currently professionally grooming from home, as I am in school online furthering my education. which means I am at home 24/7, readily available and have a very flexible schedule. ❤️. I am always open to discuss a routine/schedule that will work for you and your pup and the service you are requesting from me. Before caring for a dog I always ask for any specific instructions, requirements, requests from pet parents to ensure best service possible. I keep track of everything using an app that allows me to keep notes, reminders, etc. for each individual pup to ensure I always meet their needs. I maintain a comfortable, secure atmosphere for pups with lots of love and toys and care to give them the best experience possible as I would want the same for my own dog. Animals are a part of the family and should always be treated as such. My goal is to make sure families know without a doubt that their pets are safe with me just as they would be in their own home.
