Before making any grooming appointments with clients, build a simple weekly template for what you want your schedule to look like. This will allow you to get into the groove of freelancing!<\/p>\n<p>When setting your hours, remember that the reason people call a freelance groomer is due to busy schedules. They may not be able to make it into a grooming salon during open hours, so take this into consideration when building up your freelance business. You can target clients who work long or irregular hours \u2013 they\u2019ll want the flexibility that a salon isn\u2019t able to offer![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;3465&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_be_flexible\"><\/span>But be flexible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of flexibility, it\u2019s important to remember that freelancing offers the best of a stable and changeable lifestyle. You can schedule your life around personal or business appointments, and can choose to change your hours if other commitments start popping up. However, you should have a general rule for when you work and when you don\u2019t. Otherwise your business could suffer from limited availability!<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s great about being able to mold your own hours is that you can provide dog grooming clients with excellent customer service.
