About
With over 15 years in dog grooming, I bring reliability, honesty, and genuine care to every pet I work with. I handle a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I’m used to working with different personalities and coat types.
I love the creative challenge of grooming and take pride in delivering clean, comfortable, and attractive pet cuts—whether it’s a simple tidy-up or a more detailed style. As a one-person business, your pet always gets my full attention.
My schedule isn’t open every day, but I’m fairly flexible and do my best to work around your needs. Reach out to discuss your pet and schedule an appointment.

She was very punctual and very professional, although unfortunately she wasn't able to groom my cat because my cat was NOT having it. After she set up and I got my cat to her trailer, we started with clipping her nails, but after the first nail, my cat scratched us both, so that was all she needed to know that grooming my cat wasn't possible. The best part was that when I asked how much I owed her, she would not accept any money. She came all the way to my house, set up, decided she wasn't going to be able to groom my cat, and wouldn't accept a dime. Very gracious and I'm very pleased. (I eventually had to take my cat to the vet and have her groomed under sedation, and even the groomer at the vet said she was a monster.)

Terra Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with! She did an excellent job and was very patient with both of my Persian cats. Cats are not the easiest animals to groom, but she took her time and worked with them. You can tell how much she loves animals and really enjoys her work. I am very happy to have found her through Thumbtack and look forward to working with her again.

She worked very well with my cat who is a bit anxious. I have had to have her sedated with other groomers. My cat and I were very happy.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
prices vary. I am fair, and dependable. Travel time, breed and frequency of grooming all are taken into consideration when quoting prices. I follow a business plan that is proven to be a success for all involved.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I pay to send bids, hoping the clients are serious and will reach out to me to make contact. I am looking for a reliable network who care about the health and happiness of their animals...
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Animal Behavior College and am a certified groomer. I have worked in several salons, out of my home...and now I am fully mobile.
