“After being turned down a few times and relocating back to Sussex I came across Sophie & friends. Quick response back and I knew my 50kg mastweiler would be in safe hands. I was reassured and I love the fact there is no rush or multiple bookings rushing dogs through.”
“Charlotte and team are really friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job on our cat, Frank. All the horrible matts were gotten rid of and his coat is lovely and soft. He smelled really good too!”
“My dog Marla can be a bit anxious with noises and new environments as she is getting older and she settled really well with Charlotte as she has such a calming nature. … Charlotte is so warm and friendly and the space she has created is perfect for your dog. I highly recommend”
“We have a rescue, ex stray, Golden Retriever x Akita (with a tiny bit of German Shepherd thrown in the mix) who is a tad jumpy but full of love. She wasn't happy about being left but came back after a couple of hours and had definitely made a new friend. A lovely thinned out coat, smelled great and even a week later she is still so soft!”
“Charlotte has been grooming our dogs for about 9 months and has done an excellent job every time. She cuts them just how we like it. The dogs enjoy it as she is calm and creates stress free environment. Highly recommend!”
“Charlotte was amazing, not only was she patient and reassuring with me but she is so gentle and loving towards the dogs she grooms, honestly if I could give 10 stars I would! Our dog came out literally sparkling clean, smelling amazing and so happy!”
