Introduction

My name is Kimberly. I am a graduate of the John Paul Pet Grooming School (Paul mitchell) where I completed over 600 hours of both classroom and hands on training in pet grooming earning my certification in pet grooming, small animal anatomy, and animal handling safety. I have also worked for 6 years as a pet groomer servicing the Los Angeles county. I strive to offer pet owners the very best services with a cage-free, clean, safe, and stress free experience. I treat each pet like they were my own, with love, patience and a gentle hand. I offer mobile pet grooming services in the San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas. Service in Santa Clarita, Simi Valley for additional $10 drive fee. For other surrounding areas, please contact me as sometimes special arrangements can often be made to accommodate. I also offer petsitting services to those who plan to be away, and wish to allow their pet to stay in the comfort of their own home. I offer both 1(am or pm) or 2 visits(am&pm) per day services. Daily pet sitting services include feeding, going for 30 min walk, cleaning up after if needed, cleaning litter box (if cat), and am able to administer medication, if needed. I can also bring in mail, turn lights off/on etc, if so desired. I'm pretty flexible, and usually can accommodate extra services when requested. Over night stay also available. 1 visit per day - $25/day 2 visits per day - $35/day Over night - $45/day 4 days or more will receive 10% discount off total cost Client references available upon request. Also my pet grooming reviews from some past and current clients can be viewed in my photos. I accept cash, checks, Venmo, and Apple Pay.

This was our first experience with a mobile grooming service. Kimberly was so responsive to our needs, showed up timely, answered all our questions, and most importantly, handled our dog so effortlessly. Nita was so beautiful when her grooming was completed we were totally impressed with Kimberly's work We will be calling her back for Nita's next grooming needs.

Kim did a great job with my two Aussies. She took time to let me know what was included in their grooming and bath. She was very sweet with my dogs and they both looked beautiful when she was finished.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer 2 different services depending on your location. I offer in home pet grooming services in the West San Fernando Valley area. In the Santa Clarita Valley, I offer mobile pet grooming services with the use of a mobile grooming van. For those pet owners who reside in the Santa Clarita Valley and close surrounding areas including: Valencia, Newhall, Santa Clarita, Saugus, Castaic, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, Newhall I offer Mobile Pet Grooming. We come to your home in a mobile pet grooming van. Our van is equipped with warm water , a/c, and several options of products to use depending on your pets coat type and needs.Services start at just $65 dollars for most pets. Please message with the breed of dog as well as what services are wanted, for exact price quotes. * For those pet owners who live in the San Fernando Valley * In home grooming services- available for appointments on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday's I groom the pet in your home providing comfort to the pet. Great for those pets who tend to get nervous etc when taken to the groomers. Often pets are also kept in cages for several hours while at the grooming shop, and this can create a high level of stress on both the pet and the owner. This service requires the use of your tub to bathe the dog, or for larger dogs, an outside area with access to a hose usually works great as well. I then need access to an outlet so I can plug in my dryer, then complete the groom with the use of my tools. If this arrangement isn't ideal for your living situation, I also allow drop off at my home for grooming as well. I have a portable grooming tub as well as a table set up at my home for grooming . Grooming services start at $22 dollars and up, depending on the size of the pet, condition of the pets coat ( matting, skin issues etc), and services needed.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Meet the client and the pet. I like to run my hands through the coat to feel for matting, tangles or any other issues with the coat and skin that may need to be addressed and to be able to properly select the correct shampoo products which are tailored to your pets coat type needs. Assessing and discussing the condition of the coat and the overall behavior of the pet often aids in determining what styling options can be safely performed and completed. Safety is my number one priority. Often times, some pets do best when put onto a regular grooming schedule, as they learn the routine and overtime start to relax more, allowing more services to be done such as haircuts,blow dryer, etc. I try to do my best to make sure that i provide a comfortable grooming experience for both the pet and pet parent. I treat all pets the way I would treat my own, with love, patience, and a gentle hand.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Im a graduate of the John Paul(John paul Mitchell) Pet grooming school in San Juan Capistrano, Ca. I completed their 6 month program completing over 600 hours, learning not only the fundamental of grooming and AKC standards, but also animal handling safety and small animal anatomy .
