About Me

Dog grooming has always been a passion of mine. Prior to starting Bells and Whistles, I provided grooming for a number of friends’ dogs and they were always delighted with the result. Not only were they happy with the high-quality finish; they also appreciated how their dog could feel comfortable in a homely setting. Many dogs, especially young ones, don’t like going to more formal dog grooming settings, which is why I decided to acquire all the relevant dog grooming qualifications and start Bells and Whistles!

The name comes partly from my dog, Bella, and ‘Whistles’ refers to the brand new and shiny look I can give to dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments. My goal as a dog groomer in Aylesford, Maidstone has always been to provide a warm and friendly alternative to more conventional grooming settings. Working in this environment helps your dog feel more relaxed and allows us to build a relationship, which in turn helps me to provide a more specialised and effective grooming service. I love nothing more than helping dogs look their best and seeing smiles on the faces of my clients!

My Values

Safe Environment

Grooming can be an intimidating experience for some dogs – especially puppies being groomed for the first time. Many dogs are quite sensitive and require a patient, gentle approach in a non-threatening setting when it comes to services like teeth cleaning or nail clipping. Some of the larger dog grooming centres, due to their high workload, can’t always offer this level of attention to each dog. That is why I put great effort into creating a workspace that immediately puts you and your dog at ease.

Cheaper Than the Competition

The Bells and Whistles approach has always been to offer a highly professional service in a warm, inviting setting. This means keeping things simple and not overcomplicating treatments with unnecessary extra details. As a result, my rates are lower than more formal salons, due to having considerably fewer overhead costs to worry about. My main concern is using first-class products to give your dog the best possible grooming experience in a normal homely environment.

Personalised Service

I take the time to learn about you and your dog at each grooming session. Building a rapport with clients and getting to know them on a personal basis is fundamental to how I work, as doing so enables me to understand your dog’s exact wants and needs. Owners are often reluctant to visit grooming centres because the specialists there are too overloaded to know the characteristics of every dog they treat. At Bells and Whistles, however, I always modify my service to suit your dog, keeping them comfortable and relaxed at all times.
