Our customers are pet owners who prioritize convenience, safety, and high-quality grooming services for their pets. They range from busy professionals to families and elderly pet owners who prefer the comfort and ease of having grooming services delivered directly to their doorstep.

Customers typically can choose from traditional brick-and-mortar pet grooming salons, do-it-yourself grooming at home, or other mobile grooming services. However, Kontota stands out by offering unparalleled convenience, personalized service, and stress-free grooming experiences for pets at their homes.

Mobile grooming offers numerous advantages such as convenience, personalized one-on-one service, less stress for pets by eliminating travel to a traditional salon, and flexible scheduling. It caters to clients who seek a hassle-free option that fits their lifestyle and reduces anxiety for their pets.
