Our pets are so much more than an animal who wanders home now and then and rarely gets a table scrap; they’re our constant companions, our bonus — sometimes drooling — family members, and they fill every corner of our hearts. They deserve only the best, so when it’s time for a treat-your-pet kind of day (which is basically every day), the best is just what they’ll get with Zoomin Groomin. As the owner of Zoomin Groomin Carver County, Suz Stiyer combines her love of animals with a passion for helping pet families feel supported and cared for, creating an experience you won’t just find anywhere.
The Story
“Given my love for animals, I knew I couldn't go wrong with a franchise related to them. When I met with Zoomin Groomin, I was struck by the positivity of the team,” Suz shares. She was also impressed by their thorough and well-thought-out processes as well as their ongoing efforts to improve their systems, products, and vendors. While there are plenty of grooming options in our community, if you want your fur baby’s well-being, safety, and unique needs to be top of mind, then you’ll definitely want to zoom over and give Suz a call.
“We adjust our pace to suit each pet, ensuring they can take breaks whenever necessary. We understand that they’re not just a pet but an irreplaceable part of the family who deserve the utmost love and care.”
And if you, as the pet owner, want advice on how to prepare your pet for their appointment, or recommendations on how to keep them fresh in between appointments, they’re here to help with that as well.
The Experience
Suz and her team provide mobile grooming services in Carver, Chaska, Cologne, Hamburg, Mayer, New Germany, Norwood Young America, Victoria, Waconia, Watertown, and Young America. They also cover certain parts of Hennepin County, specifically Chanhassen and St.Bonifacius, as well as the 55331 area code, which includes Excelsior, Minnetrista, and Shorewood. In addition to serving a broad range of communities and pets of all ages and sizes — from babies to seniors and small to extra-large — the process from tip to tail is just as impressive.
“Your groomer will call or text with their estimated time of arrival, and once on-site, they’ll either park in your driveway or on the street in front of your home.” The process begins with a discussion about your grooming expectations, and from there, your four-legged pal will be taken to the grooming van for a truly spa-like treatment. Another bonus of mobile grooming is that you avoid the hassle of packing up your pet in the car — and perhaps dealing with anxiety during the trip — and there’s no need to pick up afterward either. All you need to do is answer your door.
Because they’re not exposed to the busy atmosphere of a traditional salon or the noise of other animals, Zoomin Groomin creates a much less stressful environment. “Your pet will receive one-on-one attention from our groomer, which helps to build a trusting relationship. Unlike some salons that operate like an assembly line, where one person handles the bath, another does the drying, and yet another takes care of the grooming, our service prioritizes personalized care.”
This approach is ideal for all animals, especially for the anxious, fearful, and elderly, and it also gives pet owners the peace of mind knowing their precious cargo is being cared for in a comfortable, familiar environment. “We take the time the dog or cat needs and go at their pace, allowing for breaks when necessary.” The team’s goal is to help the animal feel more comfortable by using positive reinforcement and communicating with them throughout the entire process. “Hugs and kisses also go a long way!” Suz adds.
The Well-Groomed Life
Zoomin Groomin is continually looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Their products and services not only keep your pet safe and cared for, but also conserve water and protect our environment — their state-of-the-art mobile grooming van reduces water usage by up to 90%. And while they’re committed to the planet, Suz also emphasizes the importance of caring for your pet’s overall health, which includes regular grooming to maintain healthy skin, feet, nails, teeth, and ears.
Consistent cleaning helps prevent infections, allergies, dry patches, rashes, and nail problems. She also points out that grooming provides an opportunity to monitor your pet's entire body; groomers can often spot issues you might miss and can alert you if something warrants a visit to your veterinarian.
