Paw Star Grooms

07/22/2025

Wanted to give y'all an update, I'm recovering pretty well (my thoughts not sure if I really am or not) and my check up is for Aug 19th to see if I can get back to grooming on the 20th or if she's going to make me wait another 2 weeks (as it can be 6-8 weeks for full recovery to heavy lift over 20lbs again) so fingers crossed I want to get back to seeing my furry work family again and lovely clients.

Also just so everyone doesn't get shocked October 28th to Nov 2nd (2025) and March 2nd to March 27th (2026) I will not be grooming due to being away so mark those dates and get your appointments in before. I will be doing my best to contact clients who don't have facebook to inform them as well.

When I get back to grooming I'll be taking new house call ONLY clients (this is where I come to your home and groom your dog inside your home.) for dogs 40-50lbs and under (as I have to be able to lift onto the table to work) so if you know someone interested in this pass my info along.

I offer (Brief info of each, if interested please inquire for more info)

--bath and go (I do the nails, bathe and ONLY towel dry. No force dryer so the dog will still be wet in some areas but I do my best to get them where they're not soaked) not recommended for long or thick coated dogs, ideal for seniors/dogs with certain health/behavior issues or; Some MD coats, Short coats, and long haired dogs clipped short

--haircut ONLY, nails included. Your dog might have some areas of long hair still and look uneven in some areas but this is a great option for older dogs and dogs that have certain health/behavior issues

--Bath and Haircut, this is just what it sounds. Drying includes force dryer drying. However if it's a dog with certain health/behavior issues or a senior dog that can't handle the dryer but does need a bath I will do the best haircut I can before the bath then bathe and towel dry only.

--Bath (just what it sounds like with for force dryer)

If you aren't sure which is best please ask, also all prices I give to any inquires are ESTIMENTS ONLY! I will let you know what might make the price change, sometimes the price goes down not up.

Surgery from Monday went well, I am recovering and annoyed not able to drive for at least a week and the weight restrictions because I'm getting bored. I will keep updated when I'm back to grooming.

When I return I wont be doing any dogs larger than 30lbs for the first couple weeks as I get back into the grove and returning to how I was prior (in other words listening to my body). Once im feeling better I'll start going up in weight.

However I am not longer accepting new clients over 60lbs for home and mobile and nothing over 40lbs for house call, current clients over this youre fine do not worry its just for new clients or ones who've I've not seen in a year or longer.

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. My website is currently gone, I still own the domain but haven't been able to find a new host for it, almost $1000 for 3 years is a little steep.

As of right now, I have no more appointments open till I am back to work in (hopefully) late Aug as I'm having Surgery on July 7th. I might be able to find something if things change so you're always welcome to message to see. When I get back I'm planning some things and changes, some good and some not so good but all are in the best for what I need to do, to go forward.

Please make sure you're treating your pets for fleas and ticks this season.

Because this post blew up, it needs an edit: Yes, the map is 15 years of data.

Here is a report published 2025 - however, no recent maps.

Zoonotic tracking should be documented through TX Health and Human Services.

🚨 TYPHUS. In North Texas. From fleas.
Yep… it’s giving 2020 flashbacks. 🙃 But we’re serious.
We’ve (personally) now seen TWO human cases in just the last few months — right here in DFW.

Let’s break it down:
Flea-borne typhus (aka murine typhus) is spread by fleas carried by rats, opossums, stray cats, dogs, etc. And once it hits humans?
It can get real bad real fast.
😵‍💫 Symptoms hit like a truck:
🔥 High fever
🤕 Headache, chills, body aches
🤢 Nausea or vomiting
🧩 Rash
And sometimes, a trip to the hospital if not caught in time.

Here’s the kicker:
IT’S PREVENTABLE.

✨ Monthly flea & tick meds on your pets = your first line of defense
✨ Don’t let your pets party with wild animals
✨ Clean up your yard + block off rodent hideouts

We hate fear-mongering. But we hate preventable illness even more.
Do your pets (and yourself) a favor.
Check those flea meds. Mark your calendars. Stay safe, North Texas. 💪

Im back and ready to begin making pups pretty again. Just a heads up, I AM taking new clients... a limited number however and nothing over 60lbs. Im sorry I just can't take any new XL or giant dog clients right now.

Just a reminder I groom 2 ways mainly. House call (in your home) and home based (you bring to me in my grooming salon built at my house) I do also run mobile from time to time but opening are few and rare till I get my own unit. If you'd like to talk to me about this if I have space I can always get you in... however it is the more expensive of the 3 options. Home based is the cheapest with house call in the middle.

I also offer different services for both haircut and baths. Im working on my pricing list still but canva I get lost in how I want it desgined and laid out so it's a process. If you have any questions please message.

Looking into adding and doing gift cards, digital and physical ones. If this is something you think would be great for me to add please let me know. When I am back grooming in Late April I'll be opening up to new clients 60lbs and under for house call and new clients for home based grooming. I'm going to have official work hours set as well, I will be open to grooming outside these hours but these will be the hours I'll reply to calls and texts during.

I'm also looking into selling items as well. Custom 3D printed dog tags, tags that fit airtags for tracking, busy toys, and more.

Also my website is set to expire is this month, I haven't been using it a lot so if you feel I should keep it let me know. I will be renewing the domain at least.

02/12/2025

Appts are filling up fast, I will be unavailable for grooming after March 21st till April 25th, I will still be replying to texts, messages and emails though as I can. If you'd like to get your furry loved in before then please get in touch ASAP! I'm doing my best to contact clients to let them know but please reach out if you don't hear from me.

Hope everyone had a Happy and safe New Years and let's begin '25.

For those just finding me and this page I offer 3 different ways to groom your pup. I offer House-Calls (where I come and groom your pet in your house), Home based Salon, and Mobile (this is every other month at the moment and only weekend out of that month. This is like House call but I groom outside in a specially made van).

I service, mainly, the NW Austin area. This includes but not limited too; Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, Round Rock, Georgetown, ext) For house call and mobile the fee is higher that home-based salon.

The services I offer are
- Bath

- Full Hair cut (Pets getting a lot of scissor work will include an extra fee as it adds time atop what the base price includes. Fee will be removed if I finish within a certain time frame. The time frame changes depending on the size and breed of dog you're welcome to ask when you book)

-Stand alone services (Nails, Feet face and sani, Ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and a mix of any of these)

- Bath and go (where they'll get nails done and bath with towel dry ONLY. Includes basic brushing on longer haired dogs ONLY. This is great for dogs who hate/cant handle the dryer. They will be damp when I leave as all they get is a towel dry. This is a cheaper service than normal bath. Will not be provided on certain breeds if in traditional coat or get long haircuts)

- Dirty Haircut (This is a haircut ONLY, no bath. The pet will not look finished and still look a little rough with possible clipper lines and some long hair that comes out. You're welcome to bathe and dry prior to the appt but they MUST be 100% dry before I arrive or there will an extra fee. This service is great for senior dogs or pets with certain health and behavior issues.)

If you have any questions PLEASE message me, Facebook sometimes won't alert me while I'm mobile but I'll always check each time I'm on the computer. You're also welcome to text or email. I do accept phone calls but I can respond faster via text and also it allows there to be no mistake what's said as some times words get lost while on the phone with connections.

I'm working on getting a quick pricing sheet made and should have it posted by 2025.

Early NY resolution to update this page more. I'll be revamping my website too adding drop in pet sitting and small animal grooming as well.

09/26/2024

Hello again, wanted to let everyone know I won't be available via texts after 10/15 to 11/7, I'm and take a vacation and recharging my batteries. I'm also dealing with a few health issues I hope to get resolved once they're figured out. I am currently fully booked right now till I return, please contact to schedule your appointment for when I get back from my recharge as they're going to fill up fast.

I have no operating hours as the weather and clients decide them since I'm by appointment only I will do dogs at midnight if I have to and if I know I'll be awake enough.

I have added drop in pet sitting to my options of services as sometimes I just want to chill with the furry cuties. This is currently closed and will reopen with availability in mid November.

I'll post more info about some changes coming too as well as more info on the pet-sitting when I return. Hope the weather cools down and it really starts to feel like fall soon.

Hello, sorry for the radio silence I am terrible about remembering to update this. During the summer I will not be accepting appointments in my salon after 10a due to the heat unless its pouring rain, working on getting the AC installed but having some difficulty with that. I still will do and accept appointments for house call (in your home) at any time as long as I'm grooming inside in the AC. This is for my safety and your furry loved ones as well.

Prices will be increasing soon and I'll inform of new cost at next appointment.

I am also accepting inquiries for drop in pet sitting, this is where we will set how many times you want me to swing by your place and check in on your pets, feed, let out, give meds and more per day. Anything from 1 time a day to however many you need. Time frames for drop ins will be set at booking. Price for this service is determined by distance from me, how long you want me there (amount of animals doesn't matter) and services you want (giving meds is pretty much the only thing I'll ask more to do). I can also do a house call groom and take care of your pet while doing this service too.

I have knowledge with Livestock, poultry, pet birds, rodents, reptiles (this includes their feeder bugs), fresh water fish, rabbits and more.
