Colleens Mobile Pet Spa
Referred by Jens List member Cori.Farcello@ymail.com
“I saw Colleen’s referral on Jen’s List and had her groom my dog, Moe. I’m glad I did because now Moe looks and feels great. Using Colleen’s mobile grooming service at my home was a super idea because Moe doesn’t like being left alone at a grooming salon- and he really liked Colleen a lot. We were able to set up a monthly schedule so it’s one less thing I need to worry about. Super convenient and looks like we found a great groomer!”
