Liv Pattison
December 2024 · Goldendoodle owner
"From the first second we got there Kate made our nervy girl feel safe and comfortable. I've noticed such a difference — previously she'd come home exhausted from the stress, and this time she's been full of beans all day!"
Amy Blake
October 2024
"Kate was so lovely and has a professional (and cute!) set up. Felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Booked back in already!"
Rachel Page
Regular client · Labrador owner
"Ted has just had his 3rd groom with Kate — he always sticks his nose under the gate to say hi when we walk past! Kate is a natural with dogs, and Ted comes out looking & smelling amazing."
Katie Malone
November 2022 · Spaniel owner
"Alfie is very nervous around people but he seems to always pull me towards the door when he sees Kate. Very professional and friendly, highly recommended for dogs that need a little more care and attention."
Emily McCallum
February 2023 · Spaniel owner
"Kate is so patient with our spaniel Otis who doesn't like having his nails clipped. She is so professional and I would recommend her to anyone!"
Em Stan

"Thank you for putting both Penny and I at ease for her first grooming session — for treating her as though she were your own, genuinely caring for her wellbeing. I would definitely recommend a visit to Kate's lovely parlour."
