Tailored Care for Every Pup

I fully believe in a personalised approach. Every grooming session is tailored to your animal’s individual needs, whether they're a nervous puppy, a high-energy working dog, a sensitive senior or a matted cat. My primary focus is always on their comfort level to ensure a positive and successful experience every time.

  • "Our border terrier Teddy had a (well overdue) hand strip with Rose who did a brilliant job - particularly considering how high energy and impatient he can be! She gave us helpful choices on breed standard vs practicality and is always lovely to deal with. He came away looking like a new man and we will definitely be returning!"

  • "I cannot sing Rose's praise enough. We followed her from her previous place as we knew she was going to be a perfect fit once she had her own space. She looked after Leo, who was NOT EASY as he's very anxious, and painstakingly took all evening to work with and around his needs to completely transform him. He came home completely cleared of deep facial mats while ALSO still looking great. He has never come home from a groom so happy and calm despite the amount of work Rose did. Rose very genuinely cares, gives guidance, and we will not be going anywhere else."

  • "So glad we found Rose! Highly skilled groomer and the kindest dog lover around! She took great care of our Maltese, shaping him to become the cutest around! She was incredibly patient with his temperament (and my worries for it :) and it was such a joy to see that they are best friends already! Rose even took the time to show me little daily care tricks that will help him remain in shape: from now on we'll only see Rose! Super recommended!!"

  • "Rose is so inclusive of breeds. We have a 50kg Rottweiler so it was great to find a groomer who doesn't stereotype based on breeds and is confident with handling big dogs. I love that she sent updates and videos throughout the groom and has also given us training tips to do at home to improve his grooming experience overall, as Rolo doesn't like his teeth being cleaned. Rose was also very transparent and honest about how he reacts when being groomed which i really appreciate. Rolo always comes back super clean, very shiny and really happy. We now book in monthly for a bath, deshed and ultrasonic teeth clean!"

  • “ We took our very traumatised foster girl Belle to Wiggle Wash. Rose was incredibly patient and understanding with Belle and despite us not being sure it would be possible, she was able to lightly groom her without causing Belle distress. Can't recommend Rose enough, definitely a 5* rating from us”

About the Owner

Hi, I’m Rose!

The owner of the business, a blonde woman, and her grey dog. The woman is labelled as Rose and the dog is labelled as Otis. She owns a dog grooming business in west drayton. There are soap bubble illustrations in the top right corner of the image.

I started working with dogs in 2019 while obtaining my master's in Psychology. Over the past six years, my career in the animal industry has grown to include dog walking, pet sitting, dog training, activism, and dog grooming. I've even been a canine midwife in my spare time! It's safe to say that dogs are my passion.

I especially love grooming dogs that need an extra sprinkle of patience and kindness. My background in psychology has given me a deep understanding of canine behaviour, allowing me to create a safe, stress-free grooming experience for all dogs, including those with anxiety or fear. I offer a calm, one-on-one dog grooming service with no time limit. This personalised approach ensures your dog feels safe and comfortable, resulting in a truly stress-free session.

For dogs who require extra help, I offer custom behavioural plans with positive training games and tricks. These fun activities build your dog’s confidence and teach them skills that directly improve their comfort with grooming. This approach strengthens your bond and sets your dog up for a lifetime of positive grooming experiences.

In 2023, my partner and I adopted our beautiful rescue boys, Otis and Myles. As working dogs, we make sure they're active and engaged in different sports like weight pulling, the A-frame, spring pole, tug, and building their stamina on the slat mill. If you're interested in learning more about these activities, please feel free to reach out!

My experience with my own dogs and the environments which we regularly find ourselves in has given me a unique appreciation for the needs of working breeds. Consequently, I am more than happy to groom working dogs, including those who are bite trained. All I require is a bit of extra information so I can understand their unique triggers, ensuring a safe and stress-free grooming session for everyone.
