   The operator said that although Andy had accepted a mainland position, the grooming and boarding shop would continue as usual through appointments handled by Bill and the house line. This contemporaneous business notice establishes planned continuity before the later 2021 closure announcement; it does not establish staffing duration or uninterrupted operation.

   Andy announced that the grooming and boarding operation would cease as of August 1 after 19 years, with business running as usual until then. Follow-ups describe the community’s appreciation and discuss continuing pet-care needs, but do not establish a successor or the later availability of grooming or boarding.

   A community post sought off-island boarding options and local dog- and cat-sitting, walking, and emergency-care arrangements in response to the announced August closure. It documents perceived service gaps and proposed mutual aid, not a complete provider list or a confirmed successor.
