About: Hello! My name is Marshall and I am a primary cat groomer as well as dog groomer. I am passionate about the care and comfort of pets and pet parents alike and I strive to create a welcoming, comfortable, and gentle environment. I am experienced in administering medications, senior care, as well as general basic training. Currently, I own 2 cats and 1 dog that I have raised since each were kittens/puppy! Pet care is incredibly important and I am passionate to work with pets! I currently work part time however, since I do create my own hours, I am incredibly flexible and can work with your needed care hours. My kitties have free rein of the house since they are older and are house broken. My puppy is only 9.5 months old and requires full supervision and is crated whenever she is unable to be supervised. We go out every 1-2 hours for walks, hikes multiple times a week, as well as designated training and play time daily. My goal is to create a strong bond with my babies as they are essentially my children. I treat all pet clients as if they were my own (very loved)
