Kelly Betteridge (11)
About me
My dog grooming journey began in April 2017 when I attended a full-time training course at one of the UK’s top grooming schools ‘Look North Dog Grooming & Training Centre’ to achieve my City and Guilds Level 3 Dog Grooming qualification.
I set up my own Mobile Dog Grooming business called ‘Dog Grooming By Kelly’ in April 2018. I offer a one-to-one grooming service in the comfort of your own home, where your dogs can be nice and relaxed within their home environment whilst being groomed.
I have three dogs myself, a Yorkshire terrier, called Rosie, a Springer Spaniel called Lady and a Poochon called Lola.
In April 18, I attended my very first competition, ‘Vita Canis Style to Rescue’ which is an innovative way of supporting dog rescue organisations and helps rescue dogs find their forever homes. Out of a very strong group of contestants, Anthony (wirehaired Dachshund) and I placed 9th overall.
In August 18, I attended ‘Premier Groom’, a dog grooming competition that has been running very successfully for many years. I entered the beginners class with a border terrier called Ronnie. Ronnie was a dream to hand-strip and we loved every minute of it. Never in a million years did I think we would get a place, yet to my surprise we were awarded Gold (1st) place!
In August 19, I attended ‘Premier Groom’ once again with my own dog Lola, she was only 17 months old and this was our very first competition together. I entered into the intermediate class and was very pleased to be awarded Silver (2nd) place!
Over the last couple of years I have competed in grooming competitions, attended various training days and workshops to enhance my skills and knowledge, and have completed a Canine First Aid course.
Working with animals is one of the most rewarding jobs you could ever have and every day is enjoyable. Our clients pets are treated in the way I would expect my own to be, with respect, love and compassion.

Kelly is a great groomer. Our ‘schnoodle’ Jasper can sometimes be a bit grumpy when he has to be bathed and cut but Kelly handles him very professionally and always does a great job. Always happy to book in his next appointment before she leaves. Lovely lady.
Kelly grooms both my dog to perfection, she is very professional and handles both dogs with great care.
