Welcome to The Groomers Spotlight

About Us:

The Groomers Spotlight was set up in 2017 by Stuart Simons and Julie Harris with the aim to champion and promote fully qualified pet groomers and the art of professional pet grooming. Pet grooming is a highly skilled profession and yet unregulated, this means that anyone can trade as a pet groomer without any formal qualifications, potentially putting your pet’s welfare at serious risk.

Both Stuart and Julie are massive animal lovers, highly respected and acclaimed groomers – check out their profiles to see their full credentials. Their drive to see the skills of professional pet groomers recognised comes from a desire to safeguard your animals by recognising grooming as the highly skilled profession that it is. 

The site is free to use – as many times as you like, not only using the search engine but taking advantage of our owners area. Owners using the site can rest assured that the groomers featured are fully competent in all aspects of your pets grooming needs.
