What started out as a boarding facility for dogs soon evolved into an all-inclusive pet resort offering grooming, daycare, and training services. By listening to her clients and observing their needs, Miki was able to expand her services organically. This adaptability created opportunities for cross-pollination between departments, proving that sometimes the best business strategy is one that responds fluidly to customer demands.

Building Relationships is Key


One of the central pillars of Miki's success is the relationships she's cultivated. Whether it's with her clients, her staff, or even other business owners, Miki understands the value of personal connections. In our conversation, she highlighted that these relationships are not just beneficial for business growth but are also crucial in creating a welcoming environment for both the pets and their owners. The focus on building a family-like atmosphere within her team has contributed to their stellar reputation.

The pet grooming industry is one that demands constant learning due to the variety of breeds and coat types professionals work with. Miki emphasized the value of education, from attending seminars to learning from other pet facility owners.
