MEET THE OWNER & YOUR GROOMER: LINDSEY
My journey in the pet industry began in 2015 when I volunteered for a local dog rescue, where I met my three-legged Australian Shepherd, Mia. She was a stray in Mexico who they found missing a leg and pregnant with seven pups! After she was brought to the U.S and recovered, I took her home and she's been my inspiration ever since. After adopting her and experiencing the love that our relationship brings me, I knew I'd always want to be involved with dogs. After completing 500 hours of hands-on experience at the San Diego Grooming Academy under the training of certified master groomer Myke Ross, as well as becoming Advanced First Aid and CPR certified, I received my Professional Pet Groomer and Stylist certificate and opened The Grateful Dog Mobile Grooming. With the help of Mia and my latest foster failure, Taco, the business has been able to thrive in the North County coastal region.
My favorite dogs to groom are Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Maltese's and Poodles! When I'm not grooming, you can find me surfing, snowboarding, traveling and spending time with my family at the beach!
MEET YOUR GROOMER: LYNDSEY
Hi! I’m Lyndsey! I got into grooming for my love of animals, especially dogs. I’m one of those that, wherever I go, I always seem to be that person to find and cuddle the first dog I see! I started out as a bather when I was 19 at this little shop down the street from my house. I thought it would so fun to care for, and help, pups in the best way possible. Plus, I could cuddle, play with and give that love to all the dogs that come into the shop. It’s a blessing to be able to build so many doggy friendships on my journey.
Now, I use my artistic skills and love for dogs everyday! I took a break to have and raise my two human daughters for about five years.
My favorite dogs to groom are Schnauzers, Goldens, Poodles, Coton De Tulears and all Hounds.
When I’m not grooming dogs I enjoy being outdoors, gardening and taking fun adventures with my kids. I instill and nurture their love for all things outdoors and used to have a little homestead complete with goats, chickens, turkeys and mini sheep.
WHY MOBILE?
The business operates out of a state of the art 2022 Ford Transit van that has been fully converted to groom as efficiently and safely as possible. One of the perks of using a mobile grooming service is the convenience of it, no more rushing to drop off and pickup your dog or worrying about them being stuck in a kennel waiting for you. We come directly to your door and groom from the comfort of your driveway! Our favorite part about mobile grooming is the ability to have important one-on-one time with your dog. There are no distractions in the van and no other people or dogs that might be frightening for them. We believe building a relationship with each one of our dogs is the most important part of the grooming experience and you can be assured our attention is solely on them.
