I have been grooming now for 4 years, initially working in a busy grooming parlour in South London where the quality of grooming is exceptional - focussing on quality over quantity of work each day. I’ve also maintained a select client base through my own business Hound & Co, which is ever growing. I completed my OCN Level 3 Diploma earlier this year, after studying City and Guilds level 2 at college previously. 

I come from a family of animal lovers, and I have had dogs all my life. I decided a few years back that I would like to make a career working with dogs, and quickly found a love for dog grooming which I now hope to do for the rest of my life!

I am also qualified in animal first aid and attend grooming seminars regularly to improve my skills and knowledge, network and learn from some of the industry greats. There is always something new to learn - with evolving popularity for new breeds and styles in dog grooming (much like our fashion trends) I like to try and keep up with the times to keep my clients happy.

I pride myself on working with the dogs best interests at heart, as all good groomers do. I am confident that my clients would say that the dogs have a great experience whilst in my care - keeping stress levels to a minimum with my full attention and service tailored to individual needs. All of course with lots of affection - which for me is the biggest perk of the job!
