Welcome to Love the Dog mobile grooming salon.

My name is Linda Hoisington and I am excited to tell you about the professional pet grooming services that I provide. In my new, state-of-the-art mobile grooming salon, your pet will receive a world- class, custom grooming in a warm, loving environment. My mobile salon is equipped with all the tools I need in order to provide you and your pet with a luxury service. At my fingertips are the climate controls for your pets constant comfort, a hydraulic grooming table, for lifting ease, fresh, hot and cold water, a stainless steel bath tub with a super-sudser for a bubbly bath, a clipper-vac system to minimize hair clippings in and around the salon, and a fluff dryer to leave your pet’s coat shiny, clean and fluffy! I also use the best professional quality pet shampoos, conditioners, sprays, clippers, brushes, combs and scissors for perfect finishing. And, to make your pet feel right at home, we’ll be listening to some soothing music from the on-board stereo system or perhaps watching a fun movie on the flat screen TV. When all is said and done, I will provide your pet with a look that will leave your friends and neighbors asking “WOW, who groomed your dog?”

So no need to worry and don’t bother to leave home...I will come to you in my mobile grooming salon where I will love to groom your dog (and cats too)!

Testimonials

• My little Bichon looked like a show stopper after being groomed by Linda of "Love the Dog". He was groomed just as I wanted. Thanks Linda!
(Evelyn Brown, Stuart Florida)

• Linda came to our school from the corporate world. She was ready to make that BIG move from a job to a career. She has a passion for animals and a head for business, the Pet Care field was calling her. I knew from the first interview that she would do well. As she passed though the school, she was the one who could take on the challenges. She does not fight with the dogs personality, but instead calms them. Her hands are loving hands. Her voice is playful and encouraging. When she has completed her work, our clients pets were well groomed and happy. She will take good care of your "baby". Sincerely, Linda A Law, NCMG, Director and owner, Canine Clippers School of Pet Grooming.

• Linda,
Thanks for washing and cleaning up our three dogs. I was amazed that they did not go out and roll in the dirt the way they do every time I wash them. Your products and equipment make a tremendous difference! Put us on a monthly program.
(Bill and Joyce Fendley)

• My two Bichon Frises were groomed by Ms. Hoisington on December 3, 2007. They are six years old and never have they looked so precious after being groomed.

• Mobile Pet Grooming Salon, what a great idea!! I've never had my two cats groomed because it's hard for me to gather two cats up and take them somewhere else then find the time, around kids, to go pick them back up. This was a wonderful experience for me and I will totally use Linda's services again and again!!!

• Dear Linda,
Thank you so much for the great job you did on our two Llapso’s and the two baby Yorkshire Terriers . They look great, and they were so happy! Before you came along, I would have to take them by 8:30 am and they would spend the day in a crate until I could get them at 3pm. Not having to “lug” them to a groomer and knowing that they are in their own home is very comforting and makes a much happier puppy and owner. Your service is just so convenient and worth every penny. Everyone is looking forward to their next grooming.
(Thanks again, MaryAnn Ghadban )
