Tipping My Mobile Dog Groomer - Page 2

We used a mobile groomer for years. Her charge for a cocker spaniel went from $90 to $120 over about 6 years. I always tipped her. Her service was so appreciated by our dogs and ME! Loved her.

I'd think you would tip like you tip the person who does your hair.

we get our dog groomed every 3-4 weeks. she is tipped anywhere from $10-$20 depending on what services she does. full service would be wash, cut, nails, ****** glands.....and of course a seasonal scarf.

@kivah. I think the "owner of the salon" rule is not applicable in a dog grooming establishment. Everybody, regardless of status, deserves a tip.

I tried to tip my groomer last time I was there. I was using a debit card. They told me there was no place on the gadget they were using, for tips. So they got none.

you wouldn't give cash?

around here I can't add tips to the CC at all, and I think they would prefer the cash

Our regular groomer moved away. She worked in a shop and we used to tip her generously. This past year we are using a Mobile Groomer for our Airedale, and she is the owner. We do not tip her since she is the owner, but she will get a nice gift for the holiday. We always pay her in cash.

I don't agree. The owner sets her prices and is the recipient of the full amount. We always pay her in cash, so she has the flexibility of recording the transaction or not.

If one of her workers were to perform the service, we would then tip them.

We are very very generous tippers and gift givers, but in this case I do not agree.

@nyc1....I agree with you - I pay a fair price, set by the groomer, and I am on a regular schedule for grooming - I do not tip....I can switch to paying in cash but I have no plan to start tipping.
