“Jackie has done a wonderful job providing a show groom for Peanut, despite it being his first grooming session. The fur was groomed beautifully, and it was soft and had a cute baby powder-like scent. He looked like he had a blast when I picked him up.”
“Jackie is a very experienced groomer. We have a miniature schnauzer and originally reached out to Jackie to get him used to grooming when he was a pup. He felt comfortable with Jackie straight away. Now months later, Turbo enjoys grooming and looks fabulous.”
“Jackie is wonderfully creative, talented, detail oriented and much much more... we ask her to surprise us every groom and she NEVER ceases to amaze us!!”
“I took Buddy to Jackie for his first ever grooming and was a little worried that he would be anxious. Jackie took the time to explain her process to me and was patient and reassuring. … Buddy came back from his grooming relaxed, happy and beautiful !”
“Jackie was amazing with our Golden Retriever Harry. He is 9 years old and it was his first time having a de-shed. We were a bit nervous being the first time but Jackie made us feel completely at ease and safe to say Harry looks very handsome!”
“Jackie has been amazing grooming my Golden Retriever with her knowledge and expertise. She is always punctual and very patient with my stubborn girl. My dog smells great and always looks beautiful after her pamper session.”
