The Grooming Den Professional pet grooming in a home environment. My name is Jessica Oldford, and my love for animals has brought me to the pet service industry.

I graduated with honors from Professional Pet grooming in 2012. I offer a range of services for dogs from nail trims to full grooms in a stress free home atmosphere. Please text/inbox me for a consultation and booking. I am not able to take new clients at this time.

Update ❤️🐾

After speaking with my physiotherapist, I’ve been taken off work for the next four weeks.

Unfortunately, the bending, twisting, lifting, and physical strain involved in grooming has been preventing me from making the progress we’d hoped for with treatment. In order to get over this hurdle and hopefully reach a point where I can better manage future flare-ups, I need to take this time to properly rest and focus on recovery.

I know this will be an inconvenience for some of you, and I’m truly sorry. My health does need to come first so that I can return to grooming in a way that is sustainable long-term.

For anyone who needs grooming while I’m off, there are two local groomers who currently have some availability:

• Kathy May Wilson at Kat’s Kritters
• Natasha Rideout at Big Land Pet PAWlor

I’ll post another update closer to my return with more information on when I’ll be starting back and what my schedule will look like. I do expect my schedule to be altered for a while as I ease back into things.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support while I take the time I need to heal. ❤️

Hi everyone!

I have alot of messages in my inbox right now and instead of messaging everyone individually, I will post an update here.

Over the past few days I have groomed a handful of dogs to see how my injury would fair with an altered, lighter schedule. Unfortunately it has not gone great as I am still met with pain while working and an ache for the rest of the day afterwards.

I will be waiting until my physio tomorrow to discuss what it may look like moving forward, before I book any other appointments.

I feel terrible for keeping you all waiting, but I have to listen to my body and professional advice so I do not worsen it.

I will post an update here and message everyone individually over the coming weekend.

Thank you for your patience and understanding 💕 Jessica

A little booking update as I get back into the swing of things! 🐾

I will be scheduling and responding to messages over the next few days as my household gets back into the fall routine!

As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with neck issues on and off for the past few years. Unfortunately, the issue has now become chronic, so I need to make a few changes to how I’m booking appointments for the time being.

For now, I will not be able to groom:
• Itty bitty dogs
• Difficult or very wiggly dogs
• Dogs that require a lot of physical support, lifting, or holding during their groom

These are simply the dogs that put the most strain on my neck, and I need to be a little more careful about what my body can handle while I continue working on my recovery.

With both kids now in school, I’ll also be booking morning appointments only.

I’ll be opening my schedule one month at a time rather than booking several months in advance. This gives me a little more flexibility to accommodate my own medical and treatment appointments as needed.

These changes are temporary while I see how my neck responds to being back at work. I’m really hoping that, with time and continued treatment, I’ll be able to gradually return to full capacity. 🙏

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support. I’m very happy to be getting back to seeing my wonderful clients and their pups again. ❤️🐾
