Karissa's Pet Grooming And More

First we have a good conversation to make sure that the customer, their pet, and I are all a good fit for one another. Then we form a profile for the owner and pet, which will keep a record of all services, the pets veterinary records, and any special notes regarding each groom. From there, we set up a schedule which works best for pet and owner!

I had over a year of training at PetSmart, own my own grooming salon, and have owned and worked with animals my entire life. My first pup was a pomeranian, so I had a lot of experience right off the bat with grooming, and developed a passion for it. 

My in-shop prices vary by breed, size, service requested, and pet temperament. 

Well behaved small dogs (Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Dachshunds, Pomeranians, etc.) run between $25-$45 for a bath and brush packages, $40-$65 for baths and haircut packages.

Well behaved medium sized dogs (labs, boxers, pit bulls, hound dogs, poodles, australian shepherds, etc.) run between $45-$75 for bath and brush packages, and $65-$100 for bath and haircut packages.

Well behaved large and extra large dogs (Great Pyrenees, Huskies, Samoyed, Great Dane, Giant Schnauzers, etc.) run between $65-$100 for bath and brush packages, and $75-$150 for bath and haircut packages.

My mobile in-home grooming prices are generally $20-$50 higher than the in-shop estimates, however, price varies by location as well. If you provide an address, I can give you a more accurate estimate!

Regarding Pet Aggression:

Prices vary based on pet difficulty and temperament. Aggression fees apply to any dog which must be muzzled for any part of the grooming process, and range from a $5 fee to $30, dependant on severity. If, at any point, working with the pet becomes hazardous to myself or the animal, all services will be stopped immediately and the owner will be contacted immediately to pick up their pet.

Growing up I owned a Pomeranian, which naturally required a good amount of maintenance. Caring for him for 13 years of my life truly sparked an interest in pet care and making fur babies look fabulous!

From there I worked at an aquarium store in Longwood, FL called Fishy Business. If you're ever in the area and have or want freshwater fish, aquarium equipment, and employee knowledge, there's no better shop. I worked there for three years and expanded my knowledge on the ins and outs to more than 300 species of aquatic life and how to maintain their closed ecosystem setups. Now I also help fellow aquarists with their own freshwater setups as well! All initial visits are $100, and include diagnostics, water testing, gravel vacuuming and water change, glass cleaning, decor scrub, as well as a thorough breakdown of how to correct any problems in home between services (over or under feeding, lighting schedules, equipment, potential livestock in the aquarium, recommended additives, etc). Each follow up visit is $50 an hour and includes at minimum a 20% water change, gravel vacuum, filter pad change, and glass cleaning.

I do not service saltwater tanks but I can give you the number of a wonderful company that does!
