I am licensed, insured, and bonded. I have over 15 years experience as a dog and cat groomer and have experience as a dog and cat care giver and trainer as well as educating on proper grooming and care. Woof Woof Meow started in 2010 and I have previously operated my business inside a shop, and mobile van. I have started doing house-calls by offering an in-home grooming experience where I groom your pet inside the comfort of your home. This allows for fully accountability and transparency as well as allowing you, the owner, to be apart of the experience. I set up in either your backyard, patio, secluded empty room, or garage and bathe in sink, tub, or backyard. I make sure to provide a thorough clean-up after grooming as well. I groom with the animals behavior, energy, and well-being in mind. I believe in a holistic approach to grooming and proper animal education. We are all vibrational beings and through human domestic- the dog was born. So in a way- our dogs embody the human spirit as they as sponges to our energy. Our companion animals have the ability to not only remember but to anticipate a bad memory. Often it’s the sensitivity to anticipation that leads to anxiety that causes the grooming experience to be bad. Offering in-home grooming we eliminate the stress and anxiety factor and focus on the well-being and positive experience of the dog. Grooming should be a bonding experience we have with our animals and not a rushed in-and-out service similar to an assembly line. This is where I come in, I am an experienced groomer who understands these emotional behaviors and can understand them through positive and patient communication. We groomers are the only ones who are able to train our pets how to be groomed and we are also the only ones that can cause life-long grooming phobias if your animal is not handled correctly which is why I specialize in puppies, kittens, seniors, animals with behavior issues (non aggressive) or any dog or cat out there. I am constantly working on certifications and earning continued education credits to expand my knowledge in the pet industry. I have experience within these categories.

It was an excellent experience having Melissa as my puppy's first groomer! Melissa was willing to do the grooming in my home, which allowed me to observe my puppy's behavior so that I know what we need to work on in terms of training to help facilitate his future grooming appointments. Melissa is a natural with animals and such a wealth of information. She taught me so many things about communicating with my puppy and how best to bathe him, etc. Also, my puppy looks and smells great! Thank you Melissa, we are so lucky to have found you!

Melissa is the best - she did a great job on my 3 with one a horrendous mess that she took care of like a true professional. I love her attention to detail and her insight into dog behavior. She is definitely going to be my go-to groomer in the future! Wade - Irvine

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Mobile grooming is typical 30-40 more then in salon. In salon average hair cut is $75 for a small dog. I try not to compare myself to other grooming services as I try to go above and beyond what a salon can provide you. I aim to be more of a professional caregiver to your babies.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started working with animals when I found out about Balto, the wolf husky and Hatchiko the Japanese Akita. From there I have been studying the communication and companionship humans and dogs have. I have worked in kitten rescue helping out orphaned kittens which lead me to be a cat trainer and study the behaviors and miss-conceptions society has had on cats and am currently studying, and training a cat family for the past 11 years. This has allowed me to understand cats and their emotions and has made be a better overall handler of pets.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with many, and any.
