COVID-19 Update April 2021:
As we are heading into spring (although it doesn't feel like it as I am writing this), outdoor grooming has resumed. However, I no longer accept new clients, unless your pet is a very senior or infirm animal. I am following my passion to provide grooming and care for those pets who will have only a limited amount of time left, including end-of-life care, and those who are recovering from serious injury or can't be seen by traditional groomers. 

Please leave your name and contact information so that I can plan ahead and see your pet as soon as possible. 

Thank you for riding this darn Covid thing out with me, light is at the end of the tunnel. 

​Be well and stay safe!

I provide house-call grooming services for senior pets. Working with senior pets is my passion, not only as a groomer, but in all aspects of their health and well being. This includes taking care of those animals who can no longer do it themselves, as well as maintaining those who have only a short time left. Over the years working with pets I clearly recognized their sense of cleanliness, or lack thereof. Clients told me that their "very slow and old dog" got reinvigorated by just having her heavy coat thinned out. Other clients reported that their senior pets are seemingly happier and more active than usual. And of course, my furry friends show me exactly what they think about it: They prance, they dart back and forth, they lie down on their bed with a very content look on their face. I can tell they feel pretty good at that moment.

Other animals are recovering from an injury and can't possibly be seen by a regular groomer - my approach is based on what the animal needs and tolerates. My main priority is the comfort of the animal, providing gentle home grooming sessions. No forced baths, no lengthy grooming sessions (unless they like it, and some of my cats enjoy a couple hours on my lap). Just a short grooming session of 30-45 minutes can make all the difference for your pet.
