Professional Dog Grooming. Naturally Delivered.
A truly great groom is one your dog barely notices - calm, unhurried and completely tailored to them as an individual. With many years of professional experience across most breeds and coat types, I deliver exactly that. Natural products, expert hands and a genuine love of dogs are the foundations of every appointment - because every dog deserves to feel their very best.
About My Grooming Service
Grooming is not just about how your dog looks - it is about how they feel. A good groom, delivered with patience, expertise and the right products, is an act of care that goes far beyond aesthetics. It supports skin and coat health, aids circulation, reduces stress and gives you a valuable opportunity to spot anything that might need veterinary attention.
I am an experienced professional groomer with many years of hands-on experience working with most breeds, from family pets to dogs groomed to Crufts show standard. I bring the same level of skill, attention and genuine care to every single appointment - regardless of breed, coat type or temperament. I use only the finest natural, chemical-free grooming products throughout, chosen specifically for their gentle and holistic credentials. Nothing harsh, nothing synthetic - just beautiful, kind products that are as good for your dog's skin and coat as they are for the environment.
A Calm and Familiar Experience
One of the things that makes my grooming service truly different is where it takes place. Rather than a busy environment full of unfamiliar sounds, smells and strangers, your dog is groomed in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, by someone they already know and trust.
For anxious dogs, elderly dogs or those who have always found grooming stressful, this makes an enormous difference. There is no journey, no waiting, no crates and no noise - just a calm, unhurried and deeply considered grooming experience tailored entirely to your dog's individual needs and comfort. A familiar setting, a familiar face and a genuinely unhurried approach can transform grooming from something a dog merely tolerates into something they are completely relaxed about. That is what I aim for with every single appointment - not just a beautifully groomed dog, but a dog that has genuinely enjoyed the experience.

Pricing
Grooming prices vary by breed, coat type and condition, temperament and length of time since the last groom. A matting surcharge applies - heavily matted coats require additional time, product and effort and will be charged accordingly. A personalised quote will always be provided before any grooming appointment is confirmed.
Every groom uses only professional grade natural, chemical-free products - premium, cruelty-free formulations chosen specifically for their quality, gentleness and holistic credentials. Your dog's coat, skin and overall wellbeing always come first. I never use budget or synthetic alternatives, finishing sprays or artificial fragrances. Your dog will simply smell beautifully clean - naturally. To ensure the highest standard of care I work with most breeds and sizes, however some exceptions apply due to specific coat types and grooming requirements. If you are unsure whether I am able to accommodate your dog please do get in touch and I will be happy to discuss your requirements - I would rather have an honest conversation than turn anyone away without exploring the options first.
My grooming service is available exclusively as an add-on to dog sitting bookings and is not a standalone appointment service. If you would like grooming included during your sit please mention this when you get in touch and I will arrange everything around your booking.

Paws Hand Strip
The gold standard in coat care for wire-haired and rough-coated breeds. Hand stripping is the traditional and correct method of coat maintenance for many terrier and spaniel breeds. Unlike clipping, hand stripping removes the dead outer coat by the root, preserving the coat's natural texture, colour and weather-resistant properties - keeping your dog's coat healthy, true to breed standard and in optimal condition. Depending on your dog's coat stage and condition, this treatment may include a full hand strip or a maintenance roll, determined at the time of appointment.

Paws Nail Trim
Quick, careful and precise - keeping your dog comfortable and moving freely. Regular nail maintenance is an important part of your dog's overall health and comfort. Overgrown nails can affect posture, movement and cause unnecessary discomfort.

€10. Including pad trim - €15
Paws Ear Cleanse
Gentle, thorough and naturally kind - supporting your dog's ear health from the inside out. Regular ear cleaning is an often overlooked but essential part of your dog's hygiene routine.

This treatment can be booked as a standalone appointment. Please note: this treatment is not suitable for dogs with an active ear infection or those currently on ear medication.
