Book & Contact

Reserve your spot.

Pick a service and a time, tell me about your dog, and pay securely — all in one place. First time here? Read what to expect on your first visit before you book.

Book your appointment online

Pick a service, pick a time, and tell me about your dog — real availability, secured through Square. Every request is personally confirmed by me before it's final, so nothing gets double-booked and no dog gets rushed.

Before you book: take a quick look at the services page — each service lists exactly what's included, so it's easy to pick the right one for your dog.

Book an Appointment

Rather talk it through first?

Some dogs are better served by a conversation before an appointment is booked — particularly anxious dogs, seniors, and those with a difficult grooming history. Text me and we'll determine the right starting point together.

Text is the most reliable way to reach me during the day. Phone hours are 3–5pm, or text and ask me to call you back.

Before you book

  • Your dog's rough weight — it sets the price tier
  • Know roughly when the last groom was
  • Note any medical or behavior history
  • A photo of the style, or an idea of the look

Text is the fastest way to reach me

As a solo groomer I'm with a dog for most of the day. Text messages reach me reliably and I'll respond as soon as I'm free.

Text me

Send a message any time and I'll respond as soon as I'm between appointments. If you'd rather discuss it over the phone, text me and ask me to call you back — I'll return your call that day.

📞

Phone hours: 3–5pm

This is when I'm able to answer. During grooming hours I'm working with a dog on the table, and stepping away mid-appointment puts the rest of the day behind schedule. Between the dryers and the clippers, calls often go unheard until I'm finished.
