Hi everyone! We have officially added our second tub and third grooming station! I am hoping to hire a new groomer for 4-5 days a week and a full time bather/receptionist. My team has been a huge help in getting everything set up and I have been working late to ensure everything is safe for the babies in our care.
Also we are currently working on next years schedule. We have a lot of clients that are used to how we have always booked dogs, but next year we are having a full schedule overhaul to accommodate having multiple groomers here at a time. We are going to be doing morning drop offs and afternoon drop offs special times can be accommodated, but we’re going to try to stick to more of the block schedule approach to make it easier for me specifically as I get overwhelmed with running the business and still grooming dogs.
We will also be opening at 8 AM going forward and our hours are appointment based so we’re here until we’re done for the day. We can accommodate early drop offs, but we have to know in advance so we can make arrangements for an employee to be here to make sure your dog can be checked in. Weekends will have to be changed as well as Paige and I have limited availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend appointments need to be given to our clients that absolutely can not make weekdays work. If you are more lenient on your dog’s schedule let us know so we can prioritize the dogs that have a set specific schedule. Our appointment times will be 8 AM, 10 AM, 1 PM, and 3 PM. This only applies to haircut dogs, bath dogs will be able to be accommodated all day every day as we will have two bathers here most days.
Walk-in Nail Appointments are for our bathers to do only. If you are requesting Paige or myself for your babies nails that needs to be scheduled with us personally, as our focus is on the groom dogs for the day. Timing has been a challenge for me since I am now doing two different jobs at the same time. My schedule is downsizing to accommodate everything so I can continue to provide you the care and time frame that I have always been known for, I want that for all of my employees as well.
As we start getting everything scheduled out for next year please be aware of these changes and please be understanding that we are looking to improve the quality of experience for the dogs in our care and our customers satisfaction. We also will not be “squeezing” dogs in anymore just because you didn’t realize how far we book out, 90% of our dogs book out a year in advance so we don’t have a lot of wiggle room. If we have an opening it is usually filled 6+ weeks in advance.
We are also overhauling our cat grooming schedule. We will be doing one Sunday a month. We have not decided which Sundays as of yet, but these are the days that we will do walk-in cat nail trims and scheduled cat baths or full haircuts as well. This will also include small pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.
