Hi, I’m Jay. I’m a Dog Groomer living on Waiheke Island. I've recently moved to this idyllic spot from Wellington (because why wouldn't you)! I've been grooming dogs for over 10 years and developed such close relationships with my clients that I will be making regular trips back to Wellington to continue taking care of a special few! I've been running my own In-home service for the past two years and I'm happy to come to you, or you can come to me – whichever works best for you and your dog.

Here's what a few of my clients have to say about me…

"As complete novices at dog ownership, we were grateful when an acquaintance referred us to Jay, saying 'she's the best there is'. More than two years later, we can only concur. Jay has kept our spoodle looking handsome, and taught us a lot about how to keep his coat in great shape, and - most importantly – he's always happy to see her. We highly recommend her services." – Lucy Corry

"Jay has been grooming Maya since she was a puppy and has always done an excellent job. She has also recently started grooming my other puppy, and has been so patient and gentle as he gets used to the experience. The safety and comfort of my dogs is always her top priority, and I always know that they are in the best hands. Jay will be sorely missed in Wellington!" – Kelsi Heads

"I can't recommend Jay highly enough. She has a wonderful manner with dogs – and humans! Her grooming skills are excellent, she's reliable and trustworthy (she often groomed my pup Paddy in my apartment while I was not there). We were very sorry to see her leave Wellington." –Mark Russell

"Jay is a brilliant groomer. She grooms our spoodle in exactly the way we ask her to and he always looks immaculate. But there’s far more to Jay’s grooming service than that; she is a true dog lover and committed to ensuring every dog has the best experience. Paddy is a rescued dog with chronic separation anxiety. Until we found Jay, every grooming appointment would be followed by two days of him being very anxious and clingy but he’s totally fine after a session with Jay – he loves her. He’s nearly 16 now and Jay has been his groomer for about six years. She navigates all his many age-related lumps and bumps and arthritic joints with such love and care. We heartily recommend her to any dog owner." – Patricia Thompson

I'm really looking forward to getting to know the locals (human and furry) and becoming part of the community.
