What steps should I take to safely hire a pet groomer near me in Oakland, CA?
When hiring a pet groomer near you in Oakland, CA, it’s important that you take the steps necessary to feel comfortable about who will provide care for your beloved pet. We do ask all pet groomers listed on Care.com to complete an annual background check referred to as a CareCheck. If a pet groomer completed this background check, you’ll find a badge on their profile that indicates the date the background check was run. However, this is just a jumping off point. We strongly advise you to do your own due diligence when hiring a dog groomer to ensure safety, such as running an independent background check or requesting professional references.
Is it worth taking your dog to the groomer near you in Oakland, CA?
Unless you have a really easy going pet and are skilled in the pet grooming department, you’ll likely find that hiring a pet groomer near you in Oakland, CA is well worth the money. Many dogs don’t like bath time or having their nails cut and can make at-home grooming a difficult task.
