Frequently Asked Questions
If I book with you, who will care for my pet?
I, Austin, will always care for your pet. I am self-employed and dedicated to offering your pet the best care possible.
What are your qualifications?
I have worked with dogs for almost 15 years. I completed my dog grooming certification with Animal Behavior College in 2015, as well as my Pet CPR certification. I’m insured and bonded for pet care, and I completed my dog training certification in 2024 also with Animal Behavior College.
Will you walk my dog with a retractable leash?
No, I will not. Safety is always at the forefront of my mind when I am walking your dog. This means I would never allow your dog to stray too far from me, and I would not walk them on a leash that could cause injury by snapping, or jerking to stop.
Do you offer hair trimming?
Unfortunately, I no longer offer any hair trimming. Nail trims, brush-outs, and baths are available.
When I began grooming in 2015, what I enjoyed the most was working with dogs on becoming familiar and comfortable with the grooming process. I was lucky enough that my grooming service became quite popular, and I could no longer take on new clients. This, unfortunately, meant that I couldn’t help new dogs overcome difficulties. I decided to change gears and work towards a dog training certification so I can continue to help dogs and build my business.
Do you have any product recommendations?
Yes, I do recommend certain products. Affiliate amazon marketing is in the works! Keep an eye out for updates.
Do you offer dog training?
I will soon be offering dog training services! Please email me to be added to my waitlist.
Do you offer any discounts?
I currently offer a discount for recently rescued dogs. 50% off your first obedience lesson, as long as you provide adoption records.
Do you board dogs?
No, for your dog's comfort, I travel to you for all pet sitting. Travel can be quite stressful for your dog, and I have found that pups are happier to stay home even when you are away.
Are the cameras in my home okay?
Yes! I recommend in-home cameras for anyone who has people enter their home to work with their pets. You must disclose each camera and location, but I encourage all clients to have cameras. It’s not a matter of trust but of accountability and safety.
