Summary

In our latest episode of The Daily Groomer, I talk with Gretchen McManus, founder of Rover Done Over, about how she grew her Tampa-based mobile grooming business from a single van to a fleet of eleven. She shares the strategies that helped her scale—like building a strong team, retaining groomers, and creating systems that actually work. We also get into the lessons she’s learned through industry shifts and why she’s thinking carefully about franchising.
