Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Specializing in: Elderly Fearful Disabled Special needs Rescue dogs My focus is the quality of the experience over the quantity of cuts. Pups need time to get used to a new person and experience and I believe in the importance of working at the pets pace rather than my own. Grooming should be a fun, relaxing, and loving experience. I take the time to let your pet get to know me and work through their fears of what grooming entails. In my years of grooming for big box stores, here were some things I noticed: •In order to stay on track with appointments scheduled throughout the day many big box groomers can only allow themselves 1-1.5 hours to groom a dog all while also managing phone calls and appointment scheduling, checking in and out clients, and maintaining salon cleanliness. •Often the groomers are pushed to be more concerned with the look of the groom over what is right by the dog. •Being rushed through their groom without time to slow down and pay close attention to things such as arthritic limbs and limited range of motion can put elder pets under stress and strain. •Many pets with issues such as fear biting are often rushed through the grooming process in a fast paced big box setting. •Their groomer simply may not have the time to take to help your pet understand that grooming won't hurt and actually makes them feel better. All these things pushed me towards offering a service that is much more accommodating to those pets who require extra care. Working with one client at a time allows me the time and focus to cater to learn your pets personality. In this setting I am allowed more time one on one with your pet to work at their pace and accommodate their needs removing some of the stress of getting to know a new place.

I have two little Yorkies. Yvonne has done grooming and house sitting for me. I can tell she truly cares for my dogs. She understands their unique personalities and I trust her to take the absolute best care of them.. I highly recommend Yvonne!!!

Yve groomed our elderly cavalier spaniel many times and was always very gentle and loving. Bella looked and even seemed to feel like a million bucks every time she came home from a grooming with Yvonne. When so many groomers seem like they’re shearing sheep and you worry about about even leaving your dog alone with them, it’s always nice to find someone that truly cares.

I have several Yorkie/Minpin mix and they hated going to the groomer until they met Yve. They just trusted her right away and they look so precious when I pick them up and they smell wonderful twice as long as they did before. I don't know what she uses but I love it and my dogs love her no more stressful trips to the groomer. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

She is very patient and understanding of animal behavior. Our dog is mistaken for being aggressive during nail trims but she recognized that he thought they were playing. Her patience and compassion towards our dog is very hard to find
