Grooming To Go Mobile Pet Grooming, owned by Kathy Tonetti of Whitestown, was started September 3, 2008. The business offers full service grooming, including breed profiles, lifestyle grooming and custom clips. She uses all natural products on the dogs and provides tender loving care and loads of patience. During flea and tick season, she offers Frontline Plus for all sizes of dogs. Her service eliminates the need for dogs to stay in a salon all day, which is particularly appreciated by older or nervous dogs.
She arrives at the pet’s home with a fully self-contained grooming unit. Because she provides her own electricity and water, there is no need to hook up at her clients’ homes.
Tonetti says she is confident that her business will succeed because of her passion for dogs and making them look great, while keeping their safety and comfort her top priority.
Tonetti provides the pet with a personalized bandana on the first visit.
Tonetti is a native Hoosier, originally from Indianapolis, who attended North Central High School. She attended Hillsdale College in Michigan from 1975 to 1977. In 1996, she and a partner founded Celestial Designs in Zionsville, which she sold in 2003. She received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Marion College in 2009.
As part of her degree work, Tonetti was required to write a business plan and chose mobile pet grooming as her business. After gathering data and developing the business plan, Tonetti decided to execute it real time and began the mobile pet grooming business. When she decided to move forward with her business, she enrolled in and completed pet grooming school.
Tonetti says she has always loved dogs and has shown Golden Retrievers in conformation and obedience.
