Hi, I’m Melinda, I’m your Dash DogWash Mobile Dog Groomer for Golden Beach, 4551 QLD. I also provide dog washing and dog grooming services in Pelican Waters, Caloundra, Kings Beach, Dicky Beach and Moffat Beach.
Now that you are a proud dog owner (Fur parent) you must master the basics of dog care. At the very least every fur baby needs proper nutrition, obviously, this helps with your baby’s growth but also in their coat quality. You will need adequate shelter, physical care as well as proper socialisation with humans of all ages as well as other dogs.
Do you want a PAWfect looking pooch? Is your pet looking a little worse for wear? Does your dog need a makeover? Book now for a pooch pamper, your dog will thank you.
Dash DogWash Golden Beach loves all dogs, I do not believe in stereotyping dogs, as each dog is an individual with their own unique personality and background. My favourite thing is when I pull up with my big yellow kennel, and see the excitement in my furry clients, their eagerness to greet me, makes me so happy. I love to chat with my clients about their pet and find out all about them and work out the best way that I can help care for them and make them a happier and healthier dog. Ever heard of that old saying, Happy Wife, Happy Life? Well, I believe the same applies here, Happy Pooch, Happy Parent! If your pooch is looking a little worse for wear and needs a makeover or even if they just need some regular maintenance, then fill out the form below and let’s be friends!
I’m excited to meet all the dogs in my area and give them some extra love and care and send them back to their owners smelling like roses and looking a million bucks! I look forward to making new doggy friends and to meeting their owners and developing rewarding relationships. Who wouldn’t be excited about working with beautiful dogs all day? Of course, it means that I will be receiving lots of doggy kisses and hugs along the way, but that is just a sacrifice I am going to have to make! Our fur friends bring so much joy to our lives, and it will be my pleasure to help you take care of your pet and shower them with extra love and attention.
I’ve been an office worker my entire working life, and I just decided I needed some more joy in my life. I asked myself, what do I love? Well, dogs of course, but a girls gotta eat right? So, I thought, how can I work it so that I can hang out with dogs all day and still pay the bills? That’s when I found Dash and was so impressed with their business model, their people and core beliefs that the rest, as they say, is history!
I am currently a Fur Grandmother to Bear, he is a 12-month-old Irish Wolfhound cross Mastiff, he is my sons’ dog and they both live with me. Bear is the biggest sook, and loves a snuggle, he has no idea that he is not a lapdog! I do have soft spot for Labradors and Golden Retrievers. My most recent dog was Mojo, a black lab, we rescued Mojo from the local shelter when he was 10 weeks old. My daughter and I went to the shelter to see what middle aged lap dogs they had; I certainly did not want a pup. It was while looking at all the beautiful dogs waiting for their forever homes, that the lady at the shelter said, “We have a litter of labs” to which I replied, “I’m not looking for a puppy”, she knowingly said “Just look, it doesn’t hurt to look”, so we went and had a look at the litter. Madonna, Mojo’s mum was dumped at the shelter, pregnant and in a bad state, and they were now looking for homes for her babies. We approached the enclosure, and this fat, fluffy puppy spotted us and came running over and sat at my feet, the 8 other pups ignored us, but not this one. So, we like to say that Mojo picked us, we rescued him, and he rescued us right back, he was the most loving and loyal dog I have ever known, and he will live on in our hearts forever as we had to say goodbye to him in 2019 at the ripe old age of 15. Our hearts are still healing, but I know my new fur friends that I will meet will help with that process.
Let’s face it, all dogs are wonderful and have their own personalities! How can one really choose a favourite? I have always had at least one dog in my life, both as a child and an adult, they are true, loyal companions and are always happy to see you when you get home, even if your partner or children don’t get so excited anymore!
Dash DogWash have provided me with extensive training and support! I have had on the road experience with another franchisee, and I have spent time in Brisbane for my grooming training learning valuable skills to bring to my business. The collective knowledge of all the Franchisees is amazing and readily available to me anytime.
I have spent the last 34 years working in office environments, from Reception when first starting out, then as a Legal Secretary and then Office Manager, to then getting my real estate licence and working in an agency as the Contract Manager and then becoming a Property Manager! My last role was as an Executive Assistant in a boutique commercial real estate agency, which was wonderful but there came a time where I decided I needed to do something for myself. I needed to build my own future, and step away from a very money and profit focused industry into a more joyful and personal way of making a living.
Dogs just make my heart smile, I know, it sounds corny, but it’s true. I walk on the local dog beach, and I know a lot of dogs by name, they even approach me for scratches and cuddles, that is the best feeling when they see me and run towards me – wow! When a dog trusts you enough to allow you into their space to give them some love, that is one of the best feelings in the world.
For me, to be able to provide care and attention to dogs, to give them relief and make them feel fresh and happy, that is the best way to spend my time.
