I work full time as a dog groomer and own my own grooming salon located at the same location as boarding. I have crates and few separate areas in the house to put dogs while I am working. All the dogs are let out at 6:30 am and can play and socialize until 8:30 when I start grooming for the da. I generally groom until about 3 pm but am available for potty breaks, drop off and pick ups during the day in between grooms. I am currently only grooming a few days a week and am home much of the day. I also work at a horse farm but am never away from the house for more then a few hours

Information Jen S. would like to know about your pet

🌟DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED 🌟 ⭐️All pick up and drop offs must be prior to 8pm.⭐️ When doing meet and greets I do not allow pets inside my home. During our meet and greet I have the potential of having dogs boarded that will not be staying during your pups stay. Please understand that this is my private residence and I do not allow pet parents inside my house. It can be stressful for my dogs. You are welcome to look through the windows and see my kennel area and the fences in yard. Let me know if your dogs have any special needs or you have any concerns, the more I know about your animal the more comfortable I can make them in my home. I prefer dogs to be crate trained for the safety of your pets and mine. I can make exceptions on a dog by dog basis If possible please don’t bring your pups food in individual servings, I am trying to cut down on plastic baggie waste. A large gallon bag or plastic containers work well. Thank you!

A typical day

I have pool for swimming with the dogs, and my dogs love playing fetch. My dogs are well socialized and enjoy having new friends to meet them. Around 6:30 we wake up and have first potty, and around 9pm is bed time.

Pet care experience

I have been in the profession dog industry for over 7 years and prior I worked with horses. I have worked at a doggie day care, a petstore and now own a pet grooming salon. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I own four Playful pups and a horse. I am use to high energy and non stop play. There are hundreds of toys sitting around my house. I work with animals every day. My goal is to give your dogs the best experience while staying with us and allowing our house to be your dogs home away from home. If you are interested I can add on grooming services and they can get a lovely spa day at the end of their stay for the price of the grooming check out my grooming salons Perfect Paws Parlor 🌟DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED 🌟
