Meet Grace

Grace discovered her passion for working with dogs in 2019 while travelling in Australia. Back in the UK, she honed her skills at Pets at Home, becoming a stylist and grooming up to nine dogs a day. She later worked as a mobile groomer, building strong, trusting relationships with pets and their owners, and went on to manage a small grooming team.

Grace brings her experience, warmth, and calm energy to every grooming session. She takes a patient, tailored approach, especially with nervous or anxious dogs, making each visit a positive, stress-free experience.
