My experienced dog groomer is looking at moving to the Ocala area and is wondering if dog owners in the Villages would be interested in her in-home grooming services. She comes to your home, washes your dog(s), grooms them and cleans up afterwards for $60/dog. She is a wonderful groomer and has been grooming my two Maltese in my home for years. Thank you for your input.

Hi,
Personally I would not want my dog groomed IN my home. Our groomer comes with a fully equipped van where she bathes and grooms our dog in her van in our driveway.

If that is what your friend is considering, I think it is popular and I've seen several offering this service here in The Villages. Do a search and you will find additional information.

Good luck.

PS
Our groomer charges $55.00

The pet store near Pier One in the Target Plaza has a sign wanting a groomer. As for I home, I don't know.

I hope that she does some research before making a big move. There are a lot of groomers around.

It will absolutely work.mwe had an in home groomer in Pittsburgh for 10 years before moving here. She would need to modify price to $35.00 per dog and she will have all the business she cares to handle.

There is a pet grooming van that comes to our neighborhood. See it about every couple weeks

Sorry but to provide the convenience of home grooming is worth more than $35.

I was recently in The Villages and just wanted my ShihTzu to get a bath when we were there. (I didn't want to bring her stuff with us!) Lexi has a puppy cut so she doesn't have a lot of hair and she had been groomed just two weeks before. I contacted a mobile groomer in TV and it was a lot more than $35 for just a bath and comb out! I ended up taking her to a groomer on 466a for her bath and comb out!

Most people charge $50 for this service

Thank you all for your input. I'll let her know that she might have to come down on her price of $60/dog. Sounds like she'll have to do some market comparisons to see what is already available and price accordingly.
