Hi! My name is JAN LEWIS and I have been professionally
grooming dogs and cats now since 2001. After a lot of soul searching I realized that I would truly be happier working
for myself again. I've always had a hard time just whipping out a large quantity of dogs and cats a day that aren't
what I'd call a detailed nice groom in order to get a bigger paycheck. It's just not my style...I take a lot of pride
in my work and "Quality versus Quantity" is what my grooming is all about. I'm not into speed "zoom
groom" jobs. I'm very gentle, artistic, detailed and I take time to go over every detail with my clients.
I truly love grooming, it is my passion and I strive to make every customer happy. I have worked for
small shops as well as a large Vet Hospital and have gained a lot of experience in the last 9 yrs. I also have attended
many Groom Shows, Seminars, and have many local mentors that have taken me under their wing and taught me to be the very best
I can be by continuing to educate myself on the latest techniques and to keep learning constantly.
If
you are looking for a Gentle Professional Groomer then please give me a call. I have worked with many senior pets and
special cases (rescues) as well. I treat every pet as if it were one of my very own.
I will
take the time to go over your pet with you and explain what is necessary to maintain the look you are wanting. I'm not
in a rush to push you out the door...I want you to feel comfortable with leaving your loved pet with me. There's nothing
worse then getting a different groomer every time and a different haircut even though you thought that going back to the same
place you'd get the same results....wrong! Also your dog would appreciate a nice quiet low volume shop compared to a
high stress environment and a different groomer every time guaranteed!
Working for a large Vet Hospital
has helped me become a better groomer in many ways. I'm even more detailed then ever when it comes to ear hair pulling,
ear cleaning, anal glands, gentle natural shampoo's, natural flea control alternatives etc... Also I can usually find (not
diagnose) but refer you to a VET if necessary because I have seen enough of whatever I may discover when working on your pet
that other groomers may not have as much experience in.
I have a special place in my heart for
POODLES! I totally adore them and own two miniatures, a toy poodle and a standard poodle that have been my guinea pigs sort
of speak for new patterns. I also own a Yorkie, Brussels Griffon, and cats. Yes...they are all LICENSED, spayed, neutered,
microchipped etc...current on shots, many were rescues. I really enjoy grooming Cats, Poodles, Lasha Apso's, Yorkies, mixes
and the smaller breeds. Yes..... they take more time then just doing the big bath & brush dogs, but to me they are
twice as much fun because I can get artistic when it comes to grooming them.
Each dog and cat
is provided with a fresh bowl of water and a clean warm soft blanket in their crate. Also dogs will be taken potty a
few times and not just left sitting for hrs. in their cage expecting to wait until you arrive. All cats will have a
fresh litter pan available in their crate as well as a bowl of water. If you'd like you can bring some food for them
as well.
There is no extra charge for having to drop them off in the morning before you go to
work and leaving them in our care until your shift is over. We are happy to care for them in order to make it easier
for you to get them groomed during life's busy schedule. You can drop them off in the morning as early as 7am and pick
them up by 6pm. If needed you can always ask for an earlier drop off time and I can just get up a little earlier for
you to be able to get to work in time, just ask.
This has been a dream of mine that
I'm finally going to pursue.... I recently lost my mother to Breast Cancer and have realized "LIFE IS SHORT" and
I'd better get on with my dreams! She was a big inspiration to me and still is.....She was my Hero and now is my ANGEL...and
I hope to be your Cats & Dogs "GROOMING ANGEL"
