Just posting an update -
There is a delay with starting up shop in the humane society, as there are some things still being worked on. I'm anticipating being able to open shop by end of April/beginning on May once I get the all clear. I will start contacting house call clients by the end of this week to start getting them on the schedule. If you're wanting house call, feel free to comment and let me know, and feel free to comment if you're wanting salon as well so I know 100% who I am scheduling where! I appreciate everyone's support and patience while I work on getting things going! Motherhood is definitely a new challenge and am loving it! Time to get back into the swing of things ☺️

Hi everyone! I plan to be coming back about mid April! I have some odds and ends to get together before I can start scheduling everyone! Some things that will be changing:

I will no longer be at my previous shop location, instead I will be grooming out of the newly remodeled Watertown Humane Society! All shop appointments will be filled in on the check in process.

Prices will be changing due to changes of expenses. Tax will be added now at checkout as well. If you have specific questions about your new pricing don't hesitate to reach out.

All grooming appointments, bath and haircuts, must be on a reocurring schedule of every 8 weeks or less to maintain healthy skin and coat and prevent overgrowth fees from infrequent grooming. It is still recommended that nail trim appointments are done every 4-6 weeks to maintain them at a healthy length. Any dogs 3/4" or longer coat will be charged an automatic sc******ng fee, which will be determined at the conclusion of the grooming appointment.

Any matting that takes a significant time to work out, more than a basic brush out would take, will be charged an additional matting fee dependent on severity.

Appointment times for salon must be prompt pickup and drop off. Anything more than 10 minutes late for drop off must be rescheduled, and late pickup, unless discussed otherwise, will be a charge of 1$/min past 5 minutes. Any reschedules must be communicated no less than 24 hours before hand. Reminders will be sent with ample time before the scheduled appointment. Any last minute cancelations/reschedules may be charged a fee.

I will be doing house call appointments on Tuesdays and Fridays, and salon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with Thursdays being my later appointment days. I will be off every other Monday and Friday as well.

When scheduling appointments once I return, I will have an updated client agreement form that will need to be signed going over some of the updates stated above. Also please make sure to give me any updated vaccines and weights as some have not been updated.

Heyo everyone! I figured now that I'm home and settled I would give you all a small update! Elijah came to the world early Wednesday morning and has been a strong little trooper! I had ended up in the hospital for basically all last week, between labor and going in to have a C section and a bit of recovery. Due to having a C section and some extra tearing in the process, I will still update everyone more as I go in regards to when I will start returning to work depending on the healing process. I miss all my clients dearly, both human and furry and look forward to seeing you all when I return!

Hello everyone! I know I'm a little delayed with my post, but I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! I wanted to let everyone know how appreciative I am of all your support throughout this big change in my life! Due to me being due within two weeks, I am not able to do my usual nail trim event at Pidder Padder Paws. I also am not doing any appointments currently for the same reason. I want to try to come back from leave come April, but depending on how everything goes will determine when I'll be able to return. I will make an announcement here, as well as on my website when I plan to start coming back. I will be sending out texts to all my regulars I had scheduled the months October through December to work on scheduling out through the year as much as possible, so that I know how many new clients I can take on as I will be changing my hours upon returning to work. Thank you all again for being amazing and I can't wait to see all my furry friends again!

Heyo everyone! Just wanted to make an announcement to everyone to let them know I'm still goin, but am definitely slowing down a lot! I'm doing my best to stick it out through the rest of the month, and have some help coming in next week to help get through! So far all has been looking good but if anything changes I will be sure to let you all know! Please note I do not have room to move any appointments, so if you're needing to cancel for whatever reason, unless I can shuffle some others around I won't have anywhere to move anyone. Thank you all for all the amazing support and love through this big change, and hope to see everyone at their appointments over the next couple weeks!

Can I say I'm so proud of this little turd? He has come so far since I did him the first time in August! I had to have his mom help me, especially the first appt because he was terrified of both the hose and dryer, trying to eat it and not wanting anything to do with grooming. Now, on his 4th appt after going about every 4 weeks, I can wash and dry him without scarcely any sass. Second groom good luck trying to dry his feet or his back. Was not a fan. Now, he just spins a lot and is seeming to start to totally enjoy the process. It truly is a world of difference when you work at home, and work with your groomer consistently. Not every dog is going to love grooming, or every aspect of it, but working with them and gaining their trust the way I have with Mr. Charlie, it's one of the things that makes
me truly love what I do.

First bundle of friends to come in today! A few repeats and a few new faces! Here until 4 and looking forward to seeing more! Remember Susie Q's Rescue is here with a bunch of kitters waiting to find a new home! Donations are going towards sponsoring a few to help them find a new home ♥️

For any cats adopted today as well, I will buy a little going home treat and toy!

Happy international groomer appreciation day to all my grooming friends out there! Be sure to let your groomers know how much you appreciate them!

Turned miss Luna into a Pegasus! They are on the far end of third st past the Clark if you want to go see her!

Finally got my certificates in! In August I went down to Illinois for some continuing education classes, and I definitely learned a lot! Hoping that since I've been applying what I've learned, my clients have seen even some difference in my groom quality as I feel I have! Timing may have gone up a smidge but I'm trying my best to give the best quality I can, and continuing with each groom to improve more each time, even on pups that get the most basic of cuts ♥️

Luna and I have something in store for Halloween! Stay tuned in, as she will be going live on Halloween with her awesome Halloween costume!

Hi everyone. This is a tough post for me to make, but I wanted to apologize for my disorganization as of late. I really appreciate everyone's patience the last month or so as business picked up insanely fast since the end of June, along with the fact I am needing to prepare for my little nugget that is on the way. I recently closed my books to new groom clients, not only to help myself slow down in order to make it through December as much as I can for all my awesome clients, but because I have become a smidge overwhelmed. I work by myself as most of you know, and though my husband tries to help as he can he has his own job and there's only so much he can really help me with. If you guys messaged me about moving appointments or setting something up, and you haven't gotten a notification from my system stating appointment has been made/moved, please reach back out to me. Pregnancy brain has been very real for me and today I'm going to do my best to comb through my texts and get everything caught up. Again I really appreciate everyone's understanding and support through this ♥️

I agree, Blue.
