This section is so lonely!

Boy, does anyone post here? The last post ( before mine ) was some time ago.

I hope all the home groomers are still around! Let me know your here if you are! I would love to start up some chat about our experiences!

I groom a few clients dogs in there home. In my opinion I'm not real crazy about doing it in there home. It takes longer, but i enjoy the people I groom for. one is an older couple with a sweet little yorkiepoo. the other is a schnauzer that was a puppy mill rescue. In both places i must say my favorite part is I don't have to clean up.

Yeah, we're around but apparently neglecting this section!

Waving both hands in the air!

I am just starting out doing in home grooming, and hope to get more clientele soon- need to advertise a lot more! :-D Yes, this section has been neglected some. :-( But, I'm here!!

[dbarcreations<3westies]

Me too!

I just got out of school 4 months ago and have been slowly building a home grooming clientale. When I was in school I wanted to groom out of my home which I do for a few & one neighbor only. I found out that it is not permitted in my area even though I live in a rual area that allows livestock which we have. I have then decided to get together a mobile grooming trailer. I think it will be alot easier on me having them bring out the dog instead of me bringing all my stuff in and setting up in their house.

I think its cuz y'all are busy cleaning your customer's houses after bathing their big hairy beasts!

/looks around

This is a nice forum. I really like what you've done to the place!

[Arrooh]

I'm here

I'm busy and love Housecall Grooming. I charge enough to not do too many dogs. Oh and big hairies I dry outside, but then I'm in So. California. I just dried and trimmed two dogs on their Patio today.

[petgroomaustralia]

I do a total of 6 dogs housecall. Dont really have the time to but the owners are all disabled and cant come to me. I like it once I get there but hate the thought of going...lol. All the owners insist on cleaning up after me although I dont really make too much mess as I put the hair in a rubbish bag as I work. I usually take a small portable grooming table and grooming arm plus a bag with a double k dryer, small bottle of premade shampoo, speed feed clippers, brush, comb, scissors, nail clippers and cologne. The clients supply towels.

First laugh of the morning. 'Preciate it. LOL

[groomnmom]

excited to start

I am new here. I am going to be starting an at home business to build clients with the potential to open up own shop or van someday. Who knows maybe I will like it too much and keep doing it that way. So far I have not heard of any one else doing housecalls, but I am sure there are people who do it and don't have all of there permits and liscenses. Can anyone recommend shampoo equipment? Or is it just easier to use premixed bottles?
