I do not have a brick-and-mortar location and travel 100% of the time to care for pets. I travel from Wolcott, NY, up to 30 minutes away in any direction and up to 1 hour away toward existing client bases in areas like Auburn and Brighton. Locations further from Wolcott, NY have more limited availability.
My primary service is traveling grooming, which I do right in your home, on your floor with your dog or cat. I've also been known to work on rabbits, hamsters, birds, and other exotic pets. I focus heavily on positive reinforcement and respecting boundaries (being 'Fear Free'). I am trained to recognize pain. To me, your pet's health (physical and emotional), hygiene, and THEN cuteness are the order of priorities.

My other services include anything related directly to your pet that can be done in your home, as long as I may legally and ethically do so. I offer home-visits for pet sitting, medication administration, yard poop cleanup, and more! As an LVT I may administer any medication legally prescribed and provided by your vet, including injections.
I am NOT a certified dog trainer. I have experience and the ability to offer advice, but for advanced training I recommend finding another professional.

What To Expect
This section relates specifically to my grooming, as this is my most commonly performed service.
I do not have a 'grooming wagon'.
I will show up in a car and bring with me armloads of tools, soap, and treats and look for a place to set up in or around your home. This is at your discretion, but I recommend a bathroom as it has everything I need and contains both the pet and the mess.
Due to travel limitations I do NOT provide towels or garbage can and ask pet parents to do this.
I SIT ON THE FLOOR with your pet and almost never use a grooming table. I play calming music, wear calming pheremones, and try to take my time. I offer lots of treats.
I usually work without assistance but may sometimes request it for small areas or nail trims. Owner's are welcome to participate should they wish to, either for the comfort of their pet or their own education.
I will try to manage the mess as best I can but there will likely be some cleanup for the owner's when I go.
I very rarely dry pets after a bath with anything other than towels, in an effort to remain Fear Free. IF your pet can tolerate a high powered dryer and you REQUEST it I do have one available.
Please let me know if your pet has any food allergies or other medical concerns
Vaccines or Other Requirements
Pet Vaccines:
NONE REQUIRED
I recommend following your veterinarian's guidelines regarding vaccinating your pet, but since I come to your home the risk of contagion is EXTREMELY low.
Rabies is a zoonotic disease which people can catch from unvaccinated and infected animals. Fortunately I have been personally vaccinated against Rabies and am able to handle unvaccinated pets.
Setting Requirements:
Weather protection
Enclosed space where your pet and I can work
Water (must be warm in winter)
Light
Electricity preferred
Owner provides towels and garbage can
