🎷 Just over here regulating nervous systems… one jazz song at a time. 🐾

I know I charge more than many pet groomers in our area.

And there’s a reason for that.

I’m one person. I can only groom so many animals in a day, and I choose to keep my schedule that way.

I could lower my prices, pack the cabin full, take more appointments, rush through grooms, and have dogs coming and going all day. But that would mean more barking, more overstimulation, more potty accidents, more chaos, and less individual attention.

That is not the environment I want to provide—and it’s not something I’m willing to change just to compete on price.

I would much rather groom fewer pets each day and charge accordingly so I can give them my full attention and prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being.

Sometimes that means slowing down.

Sometimes that means taking a break.

And apparently sometimes that means listening to jazz while we get beautiful. 😂🎷

So yes, I may charge more than other groomers in the area. But you’re not just paying for the haircut.

You’re paying for the time, the environment, the individual attention, and the choice I make every day to put your pet’s experience ahead of how many appointments I can squeeze onto my schedule.

And that part isn’t going to change. ❤️

At approximately 16 years young, Miss Priss came in today for her third full-service cat groom — and she was a VERY good girl!

Her spa day included:
✨ Sanitary trim
✨ Paw pad shave
✨ Nail trim
✨ Ruff trim
✨ Bath
✨ Deshedding treatment
✨ Fluff dry

Senior cats like Miss Priss can especially benefit from a little extra grooming help as they get older. Keeping their coat clean, removing loose undercoat, trimming nails, and keeping sanitary areas tidy can make a big difference in their comfort.

It is always such a privilege to work with these precious senior babies. We take our time, work at their pace, and make their comfort the priority.

Miss Priss left looking fluffy, fresh, and absolutely beautiful. 🐱

16 years old and still looking fabulous, Miss Priss!

There’s nothing quite like a fresh summer haircut!

Klaus is the sweetest little miniature dachshund. He comes to see me with his beautiful long hair and leaves looking like a whole new man with his short, easy-to-maintain haircut! Klaus loves rolling in the grass, playing outside, and keeping up with his brothers, so his family likes to keep him short and practical for his busy little lifestyle.

Klaus’s parents have trusted me with their babies since January 2022, and I just want them to know how much I appreciate them. Having wonderful, loyal clients who continue to trust me with their pets year after year means more to me than they probably realize.

Thank you for being part of the NRV Pet Grooming family for over four years—and for letting me love on Klaus along the way! 🐾

🎉🐾 Happy 15th Birthday to Sophie, aka “Puff”! 🐾🎂

Sophie was born 8/21/2011, and this past weekend we got to celebrate this very special girl turning 15 years old! 🥹💕

I’ve been lucky enough to pet sit Sophie and her brother Dustin for the past few years, and somewhere along the way, they became so much more than just dogs I take care of. ❤️

So naturally, Puff needed a proper birthday celebration! We invited some of her favorite puppy friends over, made hibachi, and took everyone on an adventure to explore a new Sniffspot. 🐶🎉

One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know these animals year after year and being included in so many chapters of their lives. Getting to celebrate 15 years of Sophie was pretty special.

She is truly the sweetest girl, and I feel incredibly lucky that her family trusts me to love and care for her and Dustin like they’re part of my own crew.

Happy 15th Birthday, Puff! Here’s to more adventures, more puppy parties, and lots more happy memories. 🎂🐾 💕

🐾 Senior dogs deserve a little extra care. 🤍

As our dogs get older, their needs change. They may move a little slower, have more sensitive skin, tire more easily, or need extra support standing during grooming. That doesn’t mean grooming becomes less important — it becomes even more important.

Regular grooming for elderly dogs can help us:
✨ Keep their skin and coat clean and comfortable
✨ Prevent painful matting and overgrown nails
✨ Notice new lumps, bumps, sores, or skin changes
✨ Keep sanitary areas clean
✨ Monitor changes in mobility and overall condition
✨ Give them gentle, positive one-on-one attention

With senior dogs, comfort comes before perfection. Sometimes that means extra breaks, modifying the groom, or simply doing what they can comfortably tolerate that day.

Sweet Taz is the perfect reminder that our elderly pets deserve patience, kindness, dignity, and all the extra love we can give them. 🥹🤍

They spent their whole lives loving us — the least we can do is make their golden years as comfortable as possible. 🐾

🐱✨ What does a professional cat grooming appointment actually look like?

I wanted to take you behind the scenes and show you all the steps that happen before we ever get to the bath!

Every appointment starts with assessing your cat’s coat, skin, temperament, and individual grooming needs. I also take time to talk with my pet parents about what I’m seeing, what I recommend, what they can be doing at home between professional grooming appointments, and exactly what the services will cost.

I believe pet parents should understand what their cat needs, why they need it, and what they’re paying for—no surprises. 💕

Cat grooming is so much more than just making them look pretty. It’s about coat and skin health, comfort, prevention, education, and working together to keep your kitty feeling their best. 🐾🛁

🐰💕 I LOVE bunny snuggles… and as you can probably tell from these pictures, I take full advantage of them! 😂🥰

But those adorable fluffy coats need a little maintenance too! Regular de-shedding treatments, nail trims, and sometimes even a sanitary trim can be an important part of bunny care.

🐇 De-shedding removes loose fur before your bunny swallows too much of it while grooming. Rabbits can’t vomit up swallowed hair, so keeping excess loose coat under control is especially important during heavy shedding.

✂️ Nail trims help prevent overgrown, snagged, or broken nails and keep those little feet comfortable.

🍑 Sanitary trims may also be needed when fur around the bottom becomes too long or soiled. Keeping this area clean and dry can help prevent matting, skin irritation, and other hygiene problems.

And the best part of bunny grooming? The snuggles, obviously! 🥹💕🐰

Healthy coat ✔️ Happy feet ✔️ Clean b***y ✔️ Bunny snuggles ✔️😂

🦁🐱 LET’S TALK LION CLIPS! 🐱🦁

Meet Monkey — she is seriously the BEST girl! 💕👑

A lion clip removes most of the body coat while leaving that adorable mane, fluffy feet, and usually a little tuft on the tail. And while it’s definitely cute, there can be practical reasons for it too!

🐾 Helps with matting and tangles
🐾 Great for cats who struggle to maintain their own coat
🐾 Can provide a fresh start for an impacted or difficult coat
🐾 Makes maintenance at home easier as the coat grows back

Not every cat needs a lion clip. We always consider the individual cat, the condition of the coat, and what can be done safely and comfortably. ❤️

🛁 PET PARENT REMINDER: Cats don’t actually bathe themselves—they groom by licking. This spreads saliva over the coat, including proteins such as Fel d 1, a major cat allergen.

Bathing with cat-safe shampoo and water helps remove saliva residue, dander, loose hair, excess oils, dirt and allergens that licking alone cannot remove. Regular bathing and grooming can be an important part of keeping your cat’s skin and coat healthy. 🫧🐱💕
