Thank you all for your custom and support in 2024. I've now finished grooming until January 3rd (one slot available in the morning).

I am pet sitting all the way through the holiday period - overnights are fully booked but there is still availability for 30 minute drop ins - contact me asap if you'd like to book.

When I started grooming 3 years ago, I chose not to publish a price list. I felt that prices should be based on how much it costs me to run the business and still make a wage, not what other groomers charge in the area.

We all have different gas/electricity suppliers. We use different products and equipment. The services we provide differ in terms of location (salon, mobile, home based etc). I may spend longer on grooms compared to other groomers. We're all at different stages in our grooming journey and speed comes with experience. There are variables with the dogs too - size, coat condition, temperament etc.

With this in mind, I need to charge based on my individual needs. I will always give you an estimate but until I meet your dog and see what is likely to be involved, I can't give you an exact price.

The cost of living crisis is having a HUGE impact on small businesses. Our bills and expenses are rising just as yours are. If you ARE shopping for groomers, please just take a moment to think about how much we are having to pay out to provide these services for you.

Hi guys, I've been a little quiet on the page over this last month so thought I'd drop in and let you know what's been going on behind the scenes.

You may or may not remember seeing posts where I mention going to Sparsholt College on Tuesdays to do my Level 3 City and Guilds Dog Grooming course. This year has flown by - just like that, exam time has hit. The theory exam takes place this Wednesday (6th November). After that we have four more weeks to complete any remaining practical assessments. As you can imagine, I've been in that revision bubble for around 6 weeks.

I completed an Emmipet (ultra sonic teeth cleaning) training course in September and am looking at being able to offer this service in the New Year - feel free to drop me a message if you'd like to know more or are interested in booking this service.

I'm also in the process of updating my terms and conditions for both grooming and pet sitting. These and other forms will be made available for existing and potential clients as soon as they are ready. I will send an email to existing clients and they will be available to print via this page and my website.

While I'm here, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask that you please contact me as soon as possible so that we can schedule your grooming or pet sitting slots for November/December. This is a busy time of year and I wouldn't want you to be disappointed.

Thank you all for your support.

So it's time to celebrate our furry 🐕 friends even more than usual. This week we get to do something extra special each day to show them how much we 💕 them.

What are you doing for yours? Whether it's taking them to their favourite places, giving them their favourite treats, spoiling them with new toys or doing something completely new together, make sure you do it in style.

Have a great week!

This year is flying by and as you can imagine, November and December are among the busiest months of the year. To avoid disappointment please contact me to book any pet sitting or dog grooming appointments as soon as possible.

MEET YOUR GROOMER/PET SITTER

Hi all, I'm Helen and I’ve been dog grooming and pet sitting since November 2021. I groom in my home and come to your home for any pet sitting requirements. I've had dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and hedgehogs among my pet sitting buddies. No week is the same - I could be grooming one week, pet sitting the next or doing a bit of both.

When I'm not with your pets, I'm behind the scenes doing admin, bookkeeping, marketing or building my website. On Tuesdays I'm expanding my knowledge and skills at Sparsholt College. Some of my free time is currently taken up by study and revision for City and Guilds Level 3 Dog Grooming Diploma. I'm also building up a stock of crocheted bandanas and pet sweaters to sell.

If you'd like to book your dog in for a pamper session or you're in need of someone to look after your pets then give me a call or send a WhatsApp

Had a lovely time in the sun with Bailey today. She's a 15 week old bundle of fun ...
