Searching for Our Mary Poppins of Dog Grooming
Remember how the Banks children wrote a very specific list describing the nanny they wanted?
We’re doing the same — because we’re looking for our Mary Poppins.
We’re interviewing now for a January start date (or sooner if timing aligns).
The Behaviors of Our Mary Poppins Groomer
- You send a same-day text with a cute photo and short update
- You write quick notes after each groom (because no one remembers everything)
- You confirm the next day’s appointments ahead of time
- If someone cancels, you help offer the next available spot and work to fill the opening
- When a cancellation can’t be filled, you use the time productively
- You maintain a calm, predictable grooming flow
- You stick to your set schedule so clients always know when you’re available
- You notice when a regular hasn’t been in and gently reach out
