SAFE HAVEN
House Call Dog Grooming
This is the next level of pet care. Take the anxiety and stress out of bringing and leaving your pet in a salon or in a mobile unit. House call dog grooming is a luxury service that allows your pet to be groomed right in the comfort of your own home.
​
House call dog grooming is best for dogs who experience anxiety during car rides, in places of uncertainty, elderly dogs or for parents who have tight work from home schedules. Even for those who love the luxury of convenience.
​
Safe Haven's goal is to ensure the comfort and happiness of your pet without you having to lift a finger too many...

FAQS
Q. HOW DOES HOUSE CALL GROOMING WORK?
A. Once we set up a time, date and I receive rabies paperwork, it is time for grooming! I will bring all the tools and equipment I need to bathe, dry and groom your dog.
Q. IS MY HOME A GOOD FIT FOR HOUSE CALLS?
A. More than likely! I require a 6x6 space to set up my grooming table and warm running water. If you have a larger dog I would prefer if you had a tub or long walk-in shower. A portable tub can be provided if necessary. As for any other size breeds a tub/ walk in shower or even the sink will do. It is my job to adapt to your environment. Please ask questions.
Q. CAN I CHECK IN ON MY PET?
A. 1000%, especially during the bathing process. Once scissors start to get involved I just ask that give your pet and me enough space for us to focus on each other.
Q. WHAT ABOUT CLEAN UP? ISN'T DOG GROOMING MESSY?
A. I will bring my vacuum and any cleaning supplies I need to leave your home, for the most part, the same way I found it. Please, make sure the space is clear of any trash, spills, clothes or any miscellaneous items that may get in the way of clean up.
I will take before and after pictures (kept in private folder).
