About me
Hi, My name is Kristina, I have been grooming for over 10 years, in my own salon called Dogsbody Grooming. I trained at Carol Gowers, Evesham.
I own Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever and a Collie cross. I've always wanted a Bernese Mountain Dog and Cavalier King Charles. My favourite dogs to groom are Miniture Schnauzer, Westie and Poodle crosses. Myself and my whole team at Dogsbody Grooming are highly experienced groomers.
I am passionate about grooming and education and regularly attend seminars. I subscribe to the Pet Industry Federation and ICMG UK.
I have completed a Pet First Aid course.
My greatest industry achievement is competing in a dog grooming competition which is way out of my comfort zone, I came 3rd out of 20 dog groomers. And achieving level 3 Diploma for Professional Dog Styling. My goal in the next 5 years is to complete my ICMG (International Certified Master Groomer) Qualification.
Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your dogs soon.

Meg is always happy to go to Kristina when she is due a haircut. Her and her team have such empathy with all their clients ( dog’s)!! I recommend Dogsbody to everyone!
Thank you so much Liz!!
My dog Bruno has always been terrified of the groomers! You can show him a pair of scissors and he hides! He loves going to dogsbody and trying to get him to leave is always a struggle! He always looks and smells great! My previous dog also went to dogsbody and always came out looking gorgeous! I would 100% recommend dogsbody and I would still attend if moved further away!! Would defo be worth the travel!!! Staff are lovely
Ralph has been groomed by Kristina from 16weeks. Under her guidance and advice and regular visits to Kristina’s saloon his coat has remained mat free and soft. Also Ralph enjoys his time with Kristina. I would, and do, without any doubt, recommend Kristina. All the staff working with her are equally lovely and professional.
Our two Cavachons Gracie and Sadie have been groomed by Kristina since they were pups and they always come home looking immaculate and happy. Her expertise and attention to detail is just amazing. I would definitely recommend Kristina for the Star Groomer.
I would recommend Kristina and her team to anyone looking for a competent and kind dog groomer. I have a reactive dog and Kristina goes out of her way to make his groom as comfortable as possible. She even will come in early so he doesn’t have to spend time with other dogs, which he finds stressful. Having been using Dogsbody for 8 years and wouldn’t consider using anyone else.
Wow!! Thank you all so so much. I could cry! Can't wait to see tou all again soon. Please take care xx
Kristina has groomed Millie our cocker spaniel for over 4 years and our very special spring spaniel and I would recommend Kristina as a very caring experienced and professional groomer. Millie always looks super smart and smells fantastic after visiting the salon, where all dogs of various breeds, shapes and sizes receive a warm welcome. Thank you Kristina.
I have known Kristina for 10 years, not long after she first started out. Just on meeting her the first time, her love of dogs was evident. It has been lovely watching her grow her business as well as grow into the beautiful lady that she is. I have 5 dogs ranging in size from 1.5kg to 40kg and they all love their Dogsbody time every 6 to 8 weeks. The care and dedication Kristina and her team show to all the dogs is just beautiful to see. In 10 years we have never had a bad experience or bad cut, the girls always come out bouncing, looking and smelling gorgeous and happy to have received the obvious care they have received with their pamper time. Amazing ladies and Poppy, Pansy, Maggy, Holly and Lola love you all very much x x x
Thank you so Much Heather
