Here’s something I don’t talk about often—but it matters.

Yes, I get paid for grooming your pups. But I’m not just the groomer—I’m the driver, the scheduler, the content creator, the craft-maker, the fundraiser, and the one behind every email, post, and policy. I’m also the business owner. And that means I’m paid like an employee… but I spend like a builder.

Most of what I earn goes right back into the business:

• 🐶 Upgrading equipment for safer, more comfortable grooms
• 🌞 Maintaining my solar-powered setup and eco-friendly supplies
• 📣 Creating educational content and celebrating your dogs online
• 🧼 Stocking high-quality products for sensitive skin and senior care
• 🎁 Crafting handmade items that support local causes and second chances

I do this because I believe in what I’m building. I believe in ethical, inclusive, sustainable pet care. I believe in honoring every dog’s story. And I believe that small businesses—especially solo ones—deserve transparency and support.

So when you book, tip, donate, or share my work, you’re not just paying for a service. You’re investing in a mission. And I’m so grateful you’re part of it.
