A personal note from the owner: We strive to perfect our craft, learn each day and become a better version of ourselves every chance we get. Our company is focused on delivering the highest quality of service and care and our clients appreciate that. It's our honesty, integrity and true care for the pets and their families that has brought us to where we are today. They could get a cheaper groom elsewhere but they choose us because of the quality work we do and how we communicate . I often say we aren't in the pet grooming business, we're in the pet communication business. Groomers see the pet's whole body up close and at a frequency that helps us identify issues, weeks if not months, before a scheduled vet visit. We can even detect mood or behavior changes from one groom to the next. Although we are not veterinarians or even vet techs, we are in the unique position to inform the client when we see symptoms of potential health issues. We speak for the pet because they can't. All members of the team are held to high standards of consistency because that's what our clients have come to know and expect. Pet grooming is more than playing with kittens and puppies all day. It can be physically demanding, mentally taxing and even emotionally challenging at times. I won't sugar coat this profession and operating a mobile salon also has its challenges in addition to the client facing side. We are a small business but we want to grow to meet our demand. Hiring is not taken lightly for me. You wouldn't just become an employee, you'd become an invaluable part of what makes us so special.
