Hello, my name is Marti and I am the proud owner and mobile groomer behind The Dirty Dog Patrol – Your Furst Responders of Grooming. This platform is designed to take both clients and upcoming groomers on a journey with me as I share what it’s like to run a mobile grooming company. Along the way, I’ll provide professional insight, grooming tips, essential tools of the trade, and guidance for those looking to grow in this industry—especially mobile groomers.
