MOBILE DOG GROOMING

ABOUT ME

About Me
groomer with dogs

In 2011, my journey in grooming commenced in Melbourne under the guidance of Nicky Renwood and Melanie Newman at the Australian Dog Centre, I earned three certifications in dog grooming during my time there. 
Over the course of 13 years, my passion for grooming has remained. I've honed my skills in various settings, from vet clinics to pet stores, including taking on the role of Salon Manager at Animates for four years. 
Since establishing my own grooming business over the past few years, I decided to branch out to a mobile grooming service to better accommodate the needs of clients working from home. 

​

Outside of grooming, my love of animals drew me in to horses. From a young age, I got involved in Competitive Trail Riding and Endurance Riding, competing on many horses, but all Arabian breeds. 
Beginning my equestrian journey at four years old, I entered the competitive arena at the age of eight. Although I stepped away from competitive riding at 18, my passion was renewed during my time as the Sport Manager of Endurance Riding at Equestrian Sport NZ. I also had the very rewarding role as the Sport Manager for Para Equestrian, which became the 5th discipline of Equestrian Sport in 2009.

OUR TRAILER

Our mobile dog grooming trailer offers convenient, stress-free grooming services right at your doorstep, ensuring your furry friends receive top-notch care in a comfortable environment. We have a califont in our trailer that heats the water to 38 degrees and a dog bath so your pup can enjoy a nice warm wash. We use Melanie Newman products in the trailer, only the best for your pup!
If you see us around, please pop your head in to say hello!

​

Keep in mind when booking that we will need a power source to plug into at your location. We do have extension cords, so a bit of distance between our trailer and your power source is no problem!
