Rudy's pet butler

ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Natalie — the human behind the name. 

I have 5+ years of grooming experience and a background in Psychology. Before grooming, I spent nearly 10 years supporting children and adults of all abilities. Those experiences shaped how I approach and connect with pets, through empathy, understanding, and individualized attention.

After training and working in a busy salon, I realized grooming shouldn’t feel rushed or stressful. I also noticed that most pet parents are looking for practical, low maintenance care to keep their pets comfortable and well looked after.

My focus is on providing accessible, low-stress, basic care, and simple haircuts & full grooming for your family pet.

Meet Rudy  —  the royalty behind the name

Rudy is a 4-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi and truly believes that I am here to serve him.

Rudy lives with elbow dysplasia and a rare eye condition called posterior lenticonus, which has led to early cataracts. Despite this, he takes everything in stride and continues to live a happy, active life. Like any good mascot, Rudy has his quirks. He’s oddly afraid of black garbage bags, people who have the hiccups, and BBQ tongs.

Rudy is my daily reminder to slow down, be patient, and meet every pet where they’re at.

💜💜💜

Lastly, I value transparency and recognize that we may not be the right match for every pet or situation.  We will always let you know if another provider may better suit your needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being always come first. Humanity over vanity.

Frequently Asked questions

How often should my pet be groomed or nails trimmed?

In general, most dogs benefit from grooming every 4–8 weeks.

Grooming needs vary depending on your dog’s breed and lifestyle.

Do you provide breed-specific styling?

No, my focus is on simple, low-maintenance haircuts that prioritize your dog’s comfort, practicality, and overall well-being.

I offer functional pet trims that are easier to maintain at home and help keep your pet clean, comfortable, and mat-free.

Does my dog need a full haircut every grooming?

No — many dogs benefit from bath and maintenance services between full services to keep their coat healthy and comfortable.


Where is your private salon location?

I operate from a private grooming space in Belle River, ON, and the exact location is shared once you have been approved for services and an appointment has been scheduled.

Services are by appointment only — I do not accept walk-in appointments.

Are you experienced with dogs who have challenging behaviours?

Yes! I have experience working with a wide range of dogs, including seniors, vocal dogs, and those who may be uncooperative or express behavioural sensitivities.

As a one-woman operation, I work independently without additional handlers or support staff. Because of this, there may be some pets whose needs or behaviours are beyond what I can safely accommodate. I will always communicate honestly and, when possible, help guide you toward a more suitable option.

CONTACT & BOOKING

I’m a one-woman operation and may be with a pet, so I’m not always able to answer calls. Please feel free to send a text or leave a voicemail — I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
