Meet Amanda

Meet Amanda, Your Brighton Dog Groomer

Hi, I'm Amanda! ๐Ÿพ I've been a dog groomer for 6 years, and if you ask my husband, he'll tell you my heart is literally shaped like a dog.

When I became a groomer, I knew I wanted to be different. I didn't want to just groom dogs and send them on their way. I wanted to make a difference, especially for the dogs who need a little extra love, patience, and understanding.

The anxious ones, the scared ones, the ones with trauma, and even the ones other groomers have said NO to. Yep, I'm just crazy enough to say,

"Bring me that baby!"

I don't just groom dogs. I build relationships, earn trust, and love every single one of those babies like they're my own.

Bring Me That Baby! Grooming for Anxious & Rescue Dogs

For me, grooming isn't just about making a dog look pretty. It's about building trust, helping them overcome their fears, and showing them that not every experience has to be scary. That's what anxious dog grooming should feel like.

We go at their pace

Some dogs take one appointment, others take months. And that's okay.

Trust before trims

Every visit builds confidence on the grooming table.

No dog turned away for being 'difficult'

Every dog deserves someone who believes in them, even when others have given up.
