We had a visit today from the lovely Gentle Paws ladies, as our Spitzpoo, Cherry, was in need of a groom. She is so anxious when we leave her anywhere, she absolutely hates going to the groomers, especially! So we thought we would see how she got on with a home visit. I must I say I was so impressed with how Marta and Jen were with our Cherry. They came with all their equipment & were so gentle & loving, lots of encouragement and they took their time to work at her pace changing up where necessary. Within 20 mins she stopped being so anxious and actually seemed to enjoy the attention! She seemed relaxed and that is so important to us. The ladies were open to our comments and suggestions but we trusted their expertise and we were not disappointed at all. Overall very impressed with their service and will be booking in regularly without the guilt I used to feel having her groomed!

We have been using Marta for the last couple of months since we got our new kitten, and she has been great, very flexible and also caring and loving with him. Highly recommend.

Very good service, came on time. Was very loving and caring towards my Pomeranian Suki. Suki got lots of kisses and cuddles during her groom & cut and made her feel safe! Absolutely loved her haircut. Highly recommend. Thank you so much.
