BASIC BATH

A straightforward cleaning service focused on getting your pet clean and comfortable.

Booking & Cancellation Policy

Exclusive Spa Experience

At GroomsByKatieK, your dog receives our undivided attention in a private, stress-free environment. Unlike traditional grooming facilities that operate with multiple dogs waiting in cages, we reserve our entire spa exclusively for your pet's appointment. This personalized approach ensures a calm, luxurious experience tailored specifically to your dog's needs. Due to this exclusive booking model, appointments cannot be filled by other clients with less than 24 hours' notice.

Deposits

Appointment-based grooming services require a 50% deposit based on the service estimate. We recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred appointment time.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

Cancellations or rescheduling made 24+ hours before the scheduled day: No charge.
For cancellations or rescheduling with less than 24 hours' notice: Deposit will be forfeited

No-Show Policy

If you arrive late for your appointment, are a no-show and haven't contacted us, or are turned away due to insufficient vaccinations, your deposit will be forfeited.

Vaccination Requirements

All dogs must provide current vaccination records for core vaccines (DAPPV + Rabies valid for 3 years) and annual Bordetella before grooming services, as these requirements protect the health and safety of all pets in our care by preventing the spread of contagious diseases in our shared facility environment.
