Well when I say us, I mean me, Rachael!

I grew up in the beautiful Tauranga but spent six years on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland after leaving high school. While in Australia I became a qualified Veterinary Nurse and gained unforgettable experience in the racehorse industry where I worked at an equine surgical practice.

I returned to Tauranga in late 2015 with hopes to give my daughter the kiwi upbringing which I was so lucky to have! We have since had TWO MORE daughters and the three of them are my greatest motivators!

Since returning, I have gained experience and skills as a small animal nurse and the Practice Manager of a Veterinary hospital which I enjoyed tremendously. This experience not only taught me essential handling skills and to identify and understand sickness and illnesses, it more importantly showed me that every dog IS different and they all do have preferences in how they are handled!

I pride myself on being gentle and loving to all the dogs which come under my care. This means, no drying cages, no kennels and no muzzles. I offer one on one care while grooming your pet, with regular play breaks, pats or treats if required which frequently means they do not want to leave! If you have a particularly nervous pet or are unable to bring them to me, I can arrange to come to you.​

​

Morning, evening, week day or weekend I am available to make your pets grooming experience a positive one!
