About me
I have always wanted to own my own business. I got into pet grooming about 6 years ago. I decided this year I wanted to start my own mobile grooming salon. I was having trouble coming up with a name for the business. I walked outside one night and looked at the stars which always makes me think of my late father. We loved astronomy. This inspired the name of my company. Sirius is the Dog Star constellation. I hope to create a business he and my grandfather would be proud of.
Why choose Sirius?
I have nearly 7 years of grooming experience. I am AKC safety certified. I strive to make each haircut beautiful. Grooming is my passion.
Sirius Grooming Services
You can always count on Sirius!
I am a full service mobile grooming salon. I am happy to offer mobile grooming to the following areas in Alabama: Florence, Killen, Sheffield, Muscle Shoals, and Tuscumbia. I bathe and groom small to large breed dogs. I will limit my amount of large breed dogs as they can be difficult to handle for one person. My goal is to ease the anxiety of dogs suffering from separation anxiety, crate anxiety and travel anxiety. Some dogs do not like to be around other dogs, this causes them stress. I will be working with only one dog at a time. Some people have a busy life schedule or are disabled and do not have time/means to get their dog to groomer as much as possible, that's what I am here for!
Grooming
Our groom includes a bath with your choice of shampoo. Some of our shampoos have an add-on fee for being a specialty shampoo. I give every client's dog a wonderful smelling cleansing blueberry facial. I also trim and file the nails unless the dog gets too stressed. I express anal glands upon request unless dog gets too upset. I also clean the ears with a solution and I pluck ear hair as needed. I do owner specific trim within reason of dogs coat condition and type of hair. Groom is followed up with a cologne/perfume of your choice or not for those with sensitive noses.
Bathing
I get your dog squeaky clean with the shampoo of your choice! I give every client's dog a wonderfully smelling cleansing blueberry facial! I also trim and file nails as long as dog doesn't get too stressed. Anal glands are expressed upon request as long as dog doesn't show too much discomfort then I suggest a vet expresses them internally if I feel it is best for the dog. Your pet is brushed with appropriate brush for his/her type of coat. Remember I work by the hour, so if you request extra brushing, extra minimal dematting, that will cost a bit more. Mats that are too painful to demat I will request that they be clippered safely off the dog. Risk of tearing skin and irritating skin can occur with mat removal tools. I follow up with cologne/perfume of your choice.
Tooth brushing
Most dogs do great and actually love getting their teeth brushed. If I feel that there is too much tartar/plaque built up on tooth, I will not brush the dog's teeth and suggest a dental with your vet.

For the busy pet parent on the go!
Turn Key Service
What is turn key service? I like to think of myself as a very trustworthy person and this service is a way I can help the busy pet parent that can't be home during my business hours for whatever reason. Turn key service is offered once you have become an established client and I have met you and your pet at least one time. With this service, it allows me entry into your home while you are not there for me to pick up pet and return when I am done grooming. You can give me a key, garage code, door code or whatever you like and the code/key will be kept in a safe place only to be used for the reason stated above. The pet would need to be in an area immediately accessed upon my entry on the main floor and not in a bedroom. This service is offered by nearly every mobile groomer and it helps our business run more efficiently and also give the pet parent open availability to have their dog groomed whenever needed. If you are unsure of this service but interested, I will be glad to provide a criminal background report to ease your worries. I would never do anything to jeopardize my business. There is no extra fee for this service and all I ask is the service you are requesting be paid for before my arrival.

FAQ and need to know information
What form of payment do I take? Cash or card. No checks!In case of inclement weather we will reschedule. You don't want to be out in it, neither do I. Also, dogs may really stress in my bus if there is overly severe weather. Need to reschedule due to emergency? I am pretty flexible and understanding. Let me know in advance as soon as you can. We will work it out.Need to reschedule simply because you forgot your brother's cousin's aunt Laverne is coming into town? That's fine. I will need 24 hours notice or half of the groom price fee will need to be paid before I will reschedule your appointment. I can not fill in spots on short notice and that is lost revenue. Why is mobile grooming prices higher than a brick and mortar salon? Glad you asked. Think of mobile as including a service fee for coming directly to you like your A/C service worker would. Also, the groom is express. I work on one dog at a time until I am done.
