FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Honestly I got a job working at PetCo. It took me some time to really get into the grooming the way I wanted to but after a few years and practice daily I improved. I was pretty bad at first.

****If I have not responded to you IT IS NOT PERSONAL. I have over 200 inquiries and I am working diligently to reach out to all of you personally. Thank you. ***
Hey ! My name is Adam. I have been grooming for 10 years total and was a grooming salon manager for a Petco location for 2 years. After obtaining a career within my educational field of Biology, I have made the decision to continue grooming as it was a skill that I developed and grew to be passionate for.
I do NOT groom in a van. After careful consideration I believe clients dogs experience more of an overwhelming experience when being groomed in an area many other dog have been.
I groom most of my clients dogs in their homes where the pups are most comfortable. I am traveling from Glen Mills PA so I try to schedule accordingly.
Some things I do different than others:
-I do not kennel your dog at any point during their appointment.
-Very patient with all dogs
-Standard and breed specific grooms.
-Affordable prices
-All baths and grooms come with, nail trim, and a spritz of doggy smell good.

What a great experience. Our dog looks great and he was very calm and relaxed, because of Adam coming to the house to groom our little guy. Adam was very nice and professional. My dog loved him and got on him with stupendously. It’s just really nice not having to take him somewhere that causes him fear and anxiety. Allowing my dog to stay home in the comfort of his own house was really such an advantage. My guy was so happy afterwards. It was just a nice experience. Plus, my dog looked great. The best haircut he’s had by far. He really paid attention to detail with my little guy. All hairs in their place. I recommend this service over all other dog grooming service I’ve used before. I’ll be calling Adam back when my guy is ready for a new buzz.

I have 3 Yorkie’s and it’s hard to get them all together at the same time to be groomed. Coming to my house is a huge plus. Not only did Adam come to my house my 3 doggies look amazing. One was very matted and he looks like a new dog. I’ve already scheduled my next appointment

We own a very sensitive standard poodle of a senior age. Adam did a very good job of listening to what our dog cannot handle as far as grooming goes and the end result was a perfectly groomed happy poodle.
