Pet care experience
Play Clean Groom
Hi I'm River (my legal name is Joy but I prefer to be called River) Ive been a dog lover and owner since I was 7 years old. I began caring for dogs professionally in 2007 as a doggy day care specialist. I went on to become a dog bather and completed training as a groomer in 2015. I love taking care of animals and care very much about their health and well being. I work part time during the week and on weekends as a massage therapist. My services include morning and evening walks, boarding, bathing, deshedding treatments, nail trimming filing and smoothing. Drop offs and pick ups are scheduled individually. Guest dogs will receive 2- 4 walks per day. Upon customer review I've decided to include an exit bath if my guest becomes heavily soiled during their stay. I enjoy spending quality time with my pets and guest pets. I have two pet friendly dogs and monitor the behavior of the guest pets on an individual basis. If the dogs have chemistry I allow them to play together. If not I give them individual areas to relax. Pets are crated if I have to leave the home. If you have any other questions please contact me. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup :)

River was wonderful! She took great care of my puppy
River was a great choice and one of the more affordable options, which I really appreciated! We received multiple updates and pictures and I felt reassured throughout the whole stay. River helped tremendously and even shared some tips I can use with my doggies moving forward. Highly recommend!
