“Emma had Major round a few months back for a well overdue clean up and I've never seen someone do such a thorough job before, he was like a new dog! But seriously cannot recommend her enough, friendly to deal with and Major loved her as she really knows how to care for your four legged friends.”

“Have used Emma on several occasions to look after my pony and do day visits to my dog – everything is always done to a really high standard and my animals love her. Very reliable and gives regular updates while you are away. Highly recommend!”
Amy F.
“Ems did a fantastic job on my hairy labrador! He always comes out smelling and looking so much fresher. He must leave half his bodyweight in hair behind. Would highly recommend!”
Rebekah O.
“Emma did a fantastic job turning our wee mop of a Scottie dog into a very smart little girl. Lovely, friendly and knowledgable service. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
