Bunny Rabbit Groomer - pet services: dog walking, sitting, boarding & training

Hi, I'm Frankie Pritchard, East Bay bunny rabbit groomer and sitter with 25 years experience trimming nails, cutting mats, and combing during shedding season. I do NOT shear Angoras or long haired bunnies. Anal (scent) glands cleaned every 6 mos. Nails should be trimmed every two and a half to three months. Most bunnies do not like being picked up, but settled on your lap or next to you on a couch or floor, most love petting. I can assist in picking up your bunny.

I am an independent contractor. I do not work for a pet sitting organization. I volunteer as Sunday bunny and guinea pig groomer at a non profit animal rescue RabbitEARS in Oakland and am on the Board of Directors. The CEO can give a character reference. Client referrals given on request.

I AM SUPER ALLERGIC TO TIMOTHY HAY. If your bunny eats TIMOTHY, I can only groom them in a space away from hay after you wipe your bunny with a slightly damp washcloth before grooming.

For bonded pairs I wear disposable gloves. To minimize my scent on them you can wipe them down with a damp washcloth after each is groomed or hold them facing me while I trim nails. Bunnies are scent oriented and may not like a strange scent on each other.

You supply a clean towel, bunny brush or comb and indoor environment with a small table and chair or couch. You may watch grooming at a distance or leave the area. I strongly recommend getting your bunny vaccinated for RHDV2, the deadly rabbit virus arrived in the U.S. 15 years ago. Several exotics vets in the Bay Area have the U.S. vaccine. It is an annual vaccine or booster.

I charge $20 for nail trims, which includes anal (scent) gland cleaning and basic brushing. Additional $10-$20 for large mats or major shedding. I travel throughout the Bay area, $20-$40 travel charge beyond East Bay (no charge for Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Albany, Emeryville). I am available by appointment Tuesday - Friday, noon - 6:00 p.m. I accept cash, checks or Zelle, B.of A.
