stress free dogs
Welcome
After all they bring us so much joy every day, right?!!
Time for yourself
Our mission is to inspire dogs and their owners to have more joy and less stress in their lives. Having worked with hundreds of dogs (and their owners) over the last decade, I realize the greatest gift me and my team can bring to you in just that.
More joy.
Less stress.
We're honoured to be the trusted source for grooming, pet sitting, walking and even overnight house sittings.
Thanks for making time to learn more, hope we'll get a chance to speak soon.

Stress Free Dogs
Time for yourself
Are you struggling to get your dog groomed? Does your dog not let you brush them? Do they come back from the groomers and take ages to settle down or seem agitated?
Well, contrary to popular belief not all dogs enjoy being groomed, especially if they are not introduced to it at an early age or in the correct manner, we are here to help you and your dogs enjoy the grooming process as it can be a great bonding time for you and your dog.
Our team are fully qualified groomers having completed City & Guilds diploma. Now while having a grooming qualification means that we have been recognised as knowledgeable about grooming different breeds of dogs, our other gained knowledge about body language, bite prevention and behavioural courses as well as Reiki and Tellington T Touch courses all help us understand the dogs in our care a little better and we can use our knowledge to help them relax and overcome any fears they may have of the grooming experience.
It is especially rewarding when our passion, and compassion comes across and we can help someone that thinks their dog is going to be a nightmare but working on on one in their one home, or in the salon certainly does have advantages, and following our Signature Stress Free Dog System seeing the benefits with the dog and owners.
So, no, your dog is not a lost cause, and yes, we can help you. And while it might not be a quick fix it will help both of you.
And while we offer consent based grooming, dogs with no issues are always welcome to come for their styling needs too!!
This includes bath, brush, shampoo, conditioner, Blow Drying, hair clipping or handstripping (if needed).
Thirty to forty-five minute walks, shared walks with other dogs
A morning visit and an afternoon visit each day.
Don't want to take them to the vets and be the "bad guy"?
We can do that for you.

The benefits of Reiki may not always be obvious, either in dogs or humans, but there are many to be had. Reiki can help:
- Ease pain;
- Boost the immune system;
- Decrease healing time after surgery or illness;
- Remove emotional or psychological blocks that are impeding physical health;
- Reduce stress and promote relaxation;
- Enhance well-being; and
- Strengthen the bond between practitioner and subject.
An oh so special dog massage.
You know how great they feel for you, this is the same for your special dog to enjoy.
Dogs love massage therapy just as much as humans do. The benefits of massage therapy, which include decreased anxiety, relief from pain, and increased overall health, have been proven time and time again.

These are some of our most often asked questions. Reach out to us if you have a question you don't see here.
Training and continued education in dog behaviour and body language as well as other skills to help them power down from the every day worries they may encounter. And by helping you with your dog we help to eliminate any extra stress you may have.
Happy dog, happy owner!!
We all love our pets and they are part of the family but with our busy lifestyles we want you to enjoy the time you spend with your dogs and if we can take some of your daily stresses then it would be our pleasure.
We are happy to take your dog to the vets for you whether you are away or at home, we can be ‘the bad guy’ for you, as long as you have cleared this with the vet so they understand and you are still responsible for the billing.
We provide two visits prior to your getaway so you all can meet and see the interactions between the sitter and dog(s) and we have an extensive audit that we go through to ensure your vacation is stress free and your dogs have a great time too.
No All sitters will provide their own food for the duration of the vacation, along with with their own plates and cutlery which we started prior to COVID and have continued this practise, they will just need some space in the fridge/freezer and use of cooking pots.
Unfortunately, we would not be able to undertake the stay in this case as our insurance would not take responsibility for the security of the property or the dog.
That’s fine, just let us know what day and a rough time so we are able to coordinate with them.
Unexpected things happen and we are always there to make your life easier so as long as you let us know when you expect to return we can keep your dog with care until then for you.
Yes we are fully insured and there is a copy of our insurance in the welcome pack.
