Groom Room & Doggy Daycare
This is your one stop shop for everything dog related.. please let me introduce myself, tell you about what I do, and how I got there.
My name is Jo – I’ve grown up with dogs and horses and have always been passionate about the animals in my life. For the last 20 years I’ve had rescued greyhounds – it started with Timmy and we’re now up to number 8 – Reggie.
In 2009 we “fostered” a beautiful but troubled greyhound girl called Lucy – she came to us temporarily, but I could see that she had some baggage that she needed help with.. I was determined to help her but couldn’t find the help or the answers that I needed so I embarked on a course that changed all our lives – I studied and qualified as a dog trainer.. and Lucy stayed with us, living her best life – she became my soul dog, my bestie.
Since 2010 I’ve been proud to be able to say I’m a dog trainer and have helped literally hundreds of dogs and their people get on the road to living their best lives with their dogs ❤️

Took my dog Hugo too Jo for his first grooming session. He was very nervous ( big baby) . Jo was great and manage to make him feel comfortable enough so she could trim his nails . Will definitely be using groom room again .
Thank you Jo x

George hates having his claws clipped. Jo was so patient with him and got them filed down with some gentle coaxing. She is very experienced in dealing with anxious dogs so is a great person to be grooming your dog.
George has been going to daycare with Jo for several years – it is his second home and he is always excited to go and have a great time.
Donna Burgess
Jo was so patient and gentle with my cranky old Saluki. She couldn’t have done more to make Talli feel. safe and comfortable.
Ryn Gamble
Cloud looks lovely and Jo did a great job despite him being wiggly 😂 Thank you again!!
Sandra Knowles
My JR Panda visited Jo today for a spa treatment. I have to say that after his de-shed bath, body scrub and dry his coat definitely feels much softer. It was his first ever visit to a groomer and he was understandably a bit fidgety but Jo was very patient with him and his tail never stopped wagging. Definitely recommend the spa treatment . Thank you Jo x
Robert O’Mara
Absolutely brilliant with our very wary rescue dog Alf.
He was so calm and relaxed when we picked him up and very well groomed.
would recommend to anyone with a nervous or shy dog.

Our new dog Fen came with very long nails. Jo was very gentle and calm with our old girl during her first visit. Fen hardly noticed what was happening and had no hesitation in trotting straight in for her pedicure on her second visit.
