Mobile In-Home Cat Grooming
A Professional and Salon Quality Experience at Home with our Two Groomer Team
Tinkle Time Pet Services prides ourselves on providing top of the line, quality in-home grooming services for all kitties! Our groomers work in a team of two – one groomer to perform the service, and one assistant for handling, monitoring stress levels, and providing comfort in whatever form your kitty needs. We come prepared with love, treats, pets, and lots of calm attention for your pet! We also offer 10% off additional cats in the same home for our full service grooming packages!
We have all kinds of experience working with nervous and aggressive kitties, and we work very hard to keep the service as stress, fear, and force free as possible. Our groomers do follow Force Free, Fear Free grooming techniques, and pride ourselves in providing as comfortable of a service possible for both you and your pet- because your comfort is just as important to us as your kitties!
Due to the nature of our in-home grooming, you get convenience as well as peace of mind. No more long hours being dropped off at a salon or vet clinic, no more scary car rides. We have a lot of clients who get turned away from vet clinics or other groomers due to behavioural issues, and we have had success with many of these cats! Our commitment to low stress services provides us the greatest opportunity to complete the service. If that means your kitty requires a service take place over multiple days to maintain low stress levels, we are more than happy to accommodate!
Despite being an in-home service, you still get salon quality! Our groomers will leave your home as clean as they found it, so there’s no need for you to clean up anything after the service!
