Provider Details

About

I have worked professionally with dogs for over 5 years, specialising in small to medium-sized breeds including Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Cocker Spaniels, Miniature Poodles, and other coat types that require regular maintenance grooming.

My focus is on providing calm, gentle grooming in a low-stress environment, particularly for nervous dogs, younger dogs attending their first groom, and dogs that may need a little extra patience during appointments.
I hold canine first aid certification and maintain full public liability insurance. I also regularly keep up to date with safe handling practices, coat care, skin and hygiene management, and breed-specific grooming standards through continued professional development and industry training.

Every appointment is carried out on a one-to-one basis to help dogs feel settled and comfortable throughout the grooming process. I take care to work at the dog’s pace where needed, while still maintaining high grooming and hygiene standards.

Availability Summary

Booking Status

Accepting new bookings
Appointments are currently available during weekdays, with the best availability typically between Tuesday and Thursday mornings and early afternoons.

Saturday appointments are limited and usually become fully booked several weeks in advance.

Dogs are groomed on a one-to-one appointment basis to maintain a calm environment, so availability can vary depending on coat type and appointment length required. Advance booking is recommended for regular grooming slots, particularly for curly or high-maintenance coats requiring routine maintenance every 6–8 weeks.
