Where pet owners and groomers come together
I'm Dean. I built FindPetGroomers after watching my mum struggle for years to find a groomer she could trust. She'd pick someone based on a nice website or a cheap price, only to discover they had no insurance, questionable training, or worse - her dog would come home stressed and badly groomed.
The problem wasn't a shortage of good groomers. It was that pet owners had no way to tell them apart from unverified operators. In the UK, anyone can legally call themselves a pet groomer with zero training. That's not good enough.
So I built FindPetGroomers - a place where verified professionals stand out, pet owners book with confidence, and the groomers who invested in proper qualifications actually get recognised for it.
FindPetGroomers is a hub where pet groomers and pet owners come together. Groomers get a professional profile, a booking system, and the tools to run their business. Pet owners get a straightforward way to find someone qualified, book an appointment, and manage everything from one place.
We cover the whole of England - thousands of groomers listed across every county - and we're expanding across the UK. Every verified groomer's insurance and qualifications have been manually checked. No self-certification, no shortcuts.
For groomers, this is a complete business toolkit: online booking, automated reminders, client management, and a listing that brings new customers to your door. For pet owners, it's a seamless experience from search to booking to your pet's next appointment.
We also publish practical grooming guides - real information on costs, breed-specific care, and what qualifications actually mean. No fluff, no filler.
Most directories treat all groomers the same. A fully qualified, insured professional appears right alongside someone with no training and no insurance. Pet owners can't tell the difference. That creates real problems:
This isn't just frustrating - it can be dangerous. Grooming involves sharp tools, powerful equipment, and handling stressed animals. Proper training and insurance aren't optional extras.
Verified groomers appear first in every search. Pro and Premium groomers who submit their qualifications and insurance earn a verified (+) badge. Here's what we check:
Valid public liability insurance (minimum £1-2 million cover) and professional indemnity insurance where applicable.
Recognised grooming qualifications (Level 2 minimum, Level 3 preferred) from accredited training providers.
Real prices for common services - no "from £X" vagueness. Pet owners know what to expect before they book.
Confirmed business address and service area - no fake locations or misleading coverage claims.
No commission on bookings. No hidden fees. No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime.
FindPetGroomers isn't a generic booking tool with a pet grooming skin. It's built from the ground up for the way groomers run their business.
Your dashboard includes:
Never miss a call mid-groom. Our textback feature automatically sends an SMS with your booking link when you can't pick up. Combined with call forwarding, your clients always have a way to reach you - or book themselves in while you're working.
Your clients get their own portal where they can view upcoming appointments, manage their pets' details, upload photos, and rebook with a single click. It keeps them coming back without you having to chase.
No commission on bookings. No hidden fees. No contracts. Cancel anytime.
Whether you're looking for a trusted groomer or you want to grow your grooming business - you're in the right place.
