As I approach five years of owning my mobile dog grooming business, I’ve been reflecting a lot on this journey and wanted to share something personal with the people who have supported me through it all.
When I decided to start this business, I was so excited and full of hope for what was ahead. I ordered my grooming van and had to wait nearly two months while it was being built before I could officially begin. During that last month of waiting, my grandfather was placed on hospice, and I spent every spare minute I had with him. My goal through all of it was to make him proud and build something meaningful for my family. He passed away just two weeks before I had to pick up my van and officially start my business.
Since then, it feels like every year has brought another season of grief and loss — losing my Papaw, my Grandmother, my mother, my best friend, and even my dog. There have been many moments where I’ve had to keep showing up while quietly carrying heartbreak behind the scenes.
As a small business owner and single mom, there have been times I struggled to stay on top of everything, especially responding to messages as quickly as I wanted to. I’ve always been incredibly hard on myself about that because I care deeply about my clients and the experience I provide. Sometimes I worry people just see someone overwhelmed or “having too many issues,” when in reality I’ve simply been doing my best to survive some really heavy seasons while still keeping my business going.
I just want my clients to know how grateful I truly am for your patience, kindness, loyalty, referrals, and support over these last five years. Every appointment has helped support my family and helped me continue a dream that honestly carried me through some of the hardest moments of my life. Thank you for trusting me with your pets and for sticking beside me through every chapter of this journey. I appreciate all of you more than words can express.❤️❤️❤️
