Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover who turned a passion for dogs into a career I truly love. After 10 years in the financial world, I decided to follow my heart and pursue professional grooming. I completed my training at Pampered Paws Grooming School, graduating from the Groomer Professional Development Program, Enhanced Stylist Program, and Advanced Scissor Program.

I’ve now been grooming in the Collingwood area for over 3 years, and my focus is always on creating a calm, stress-free experience tailored to each dog’s individual needs. Getting to know each pet and building trust with them is truly the best part of my work.

I feel so grateful to do what I love every day, and I hope that care and passion shines through in every visit!

Currently accepting small dogs under 20 lbs only.

Blue's Dos Grooming

Hello, I’m Stephanie. Working with animals has been my dream since I was a little girl, and I feel incredibly grateful to now spend my days caring for dogs and helping them feel their best.

I studied Veterinary Assistant at St. Lawrence College, where I developed a strong foundation in animal health, behaviour, handling, and wellness. During my training, I discovered a passion for grooming and especially connected with nervous, sensitive, senior, and high-needs dogs who simply need extra patience, understanding, and trust.

My goal is to create a calm, low-stress grooming experience where every dog feels safe, supported, and comfortable throughout their visit. I believe grooming is about far more than appearance — it’s about comfort, confidence, trust, and overall wellbeing.

Medical history: does your pet have any medical conditions we should be aware of?

Grooming history: has your pet been groomed before? If so, what was their experience like?

How often does your pet currently see a groomer and what was the date of their last groom?

Does your pet have any behavioral issues, such as anxiety or aggression?

VACCINATION REQUIREMENT CONFIRMATION

I understand that proof of current Rabies, DHPP (distemper/parvo), and Bordetella vaccinations is required prior to appointment confirmation. Vaccine certificates from a licensed veterinarian must be provided directly — veterinary invoices or receipts will not be accepted.

If you have your dog’s up-to-date vaccination certificate available, please upload it here.

BOOKING POLICY CONFIRMATION

I confirm that I have read and agree to The Groom Room policies outlined below.

The Groom Room Policies

Cancellations & No-Shows

To help us offer the best possible care and accommodate all clients fairly, we kindly require 24+ hours notice for any changes or cancellations to your appointment.

Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged 50% of the scheduled service total. Payment must be received prior to confirming any future appointments.
Same-day cancellations or missed appointments (no-shows) will be charged 50% of the scheduled service total. Payment must be received prior to confirming any future appointments.
In cases of repeated late cancellations or no-shows, we may kindly request a credit card on file and reserve the right to reassess future booking availability.

We kindly ask that all cancellation requests be made directly with your groomer, as this ensures your message is received promptly. Please note that requests made through The Homestead or the online booking portal are not considered confirmed cancellations, and applicable fees still apply.

Early Drop-Off & Late Pick-Up

We understand that schedules can be busy, and we are always happy to accommodate early drop-offs or later pick-ups whenever possible when arranged in advance with your groomer.

To maintain a calm and uninterrupted experience for all dogs in our care, we kindly ask for advance notice for any timing adjustments. Without prior arrangement, a $20 courtesy fee will be added to your invoice for early drop-offs or late pick-ups.

A late pick-up is considered 20 minutes or more past the estimated ready time provided by your groomer (for example, if your groomer texts that your pup will be ready in 20 minutes and pick-up occurs 40+ minutes from that time, the late pick-up fee will apply).
