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.

I was very happy with Kelly when she groomed my Bull dog. She knew exactly how to handle him and made him very comfortable throughout. Kelly was very knowledgeable about the products she would use on my dogs sensitive skin and recommended a few top tips for keeping him in great condition. Kelly is genuinely lovely and my Bert loves her, we won't go anywhere else. Keep up the excellent work Kelly and see you soon. Chris.
Kelly has been grooming my Lhasa teddy since he was a pup for his first puppy groom actually, 2 years later he still goes to kellly every month for a bath and cut. Teddy gets so excited wen he sees kelly he knows where he is going! Teddy always comes home looking fab n smelling great too! Would not use anyone else!! Thankyou kelly
Kelly has been to our house to groom Harvey my long haired miniature dachshund 3 times now,. Harvey is a nervous dog so it has been a lovely experience for him to have a bath in his own home and to have bespoke individual attention. Kelly is a lovely person and does a great job. Thank you Kelly, look forward to seeing you next time!
Highly recommended!
Kelly has been trimming my Mum’s dog, Dinky for a few months now. Dinky is a re-homed dog from Dog’s Trust who came with lots of issues such as nervousness and distrust. Kelly has been brilliant with him, reassuring and earning his trust. Dinky is quite happy to let her groom him and she does a fantastic job making him all neat and tidy. My Mum, Hazel is very happy with the service she gets and will continue to use Kelly every time Dinky needs smartening up.
Highly recommended!
A top class person as well as a first class dog groomer always makes our dog Boe look very smart indeed and at a very good price too.I will and do recommend Kelly to the dog walkers that i meet she is first class at her job plus we will always have her to look after any dog that we may have. Boe loves her an she will always get a good review from me and my wife too.....
Kelly groom's our Yorkshire terrier Ruby (along with family member dogs!) She is lovely person with a fabulous dispersion. Her knowledge around dog grooming products is great she has advised recommended various things for our girl.
Highly recommended!
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.
