Hi! Me again!
🐾 Important booking update: Zen is fully booked until August 2027. I🚨‼️🚨‼️
If your dog is not already scheduled, please arrange care with another groomer. My cancellation list is very long, and I cannot accommodate any additional appointments or squeeze-ins.
This is difficult to say because I care deeply about your dogs and the relationships we’ve built. Turning clients away saddens me, but continuing to overwork myself is no longer sustainable.
For the past four years, I’ve regularly worked full days without lunch or breaks between dogs. My body is feeling the effects, and I’m experiencing burnout. My vision for Zen Pet Spa was to create a calmer, more intentional experience with a manageable workload. Instead, I have already allowed my 2027 schedule to become fuller than I intended, and I need to honor my limits now.
Please do not rely on the cancellation list for your dog’s next groom. Some cancellations may remain unfilled so I can take a lunch break or give myself needed breathing room. Being on the list does not guarantee an appointment.
Most of you have been incredibly understanding, and I appreciate that more than you know. I also need to ask that you respect my answer when I say I’m full. Repeated requests put me in a difficult position, but they cannot create more availability.
I’m sorry to the clients I’m unable to accommodate. Finding another groomer to keep your dog on a regular schedule is the best next step rather than waiting months for an opening.
Thank you for supporting me and respecting the boundaries that allow me to keep doing this work with the care, patience, and attention your dogs deserve. 💚
