Pricing and policies

Full groom from *$95 toy breeds/small dogs

In-between groom from *$90 toy breeds/small dogs

*Extra fee of $30 incurred for matted dogs, dogs that take that little bit longer to groom due to behaviour, or dogs that take a little longer to groom due to irregular grooming appointments.

Nails $15

Bath only from *$55 small dogs / *$85 medium and larger dogs

Breed trim Lagotto $150** starting from small/medium

* Curly coated or fleece coated dogs require re-booking anywhere from 6 – 8 weeks. For you to get the best styled groom, and for your dog to not be on the table too long, we believe the groom should be completed in 2 – 2.5 hours. Regular grooming helps your dog maintain a beautiful coat, and allows us to provide the best groom possible.

** The Lagotto breed trim takes more time than a usual groom, because of their tight curly coat. There is a 3-stage process before we get the coat ready for clipping. It’s important to maintain a schedule of grooming so that your dog is not on the table for too long and the process is as easy and enjoyable for him or her. We advise a regular  grooming schedule, (anywhere from 6, 7 or 8 weekly) based on your dog’s coat type.

Cancellation Policy: As we work one on one, we require a 48 hour notice on cancellations, this is so we can fill your spot to a doggie in need. 

Our dog styling services are in demand

Please be aware that there is currently a waiting list for Lagotto Romagnalo breeds. Please get in touch to be added to the waiting list so we can advise you when an appointment becomes available.

Clients who groom with us, stay with us

Our clients have been with us from the start. See what they say about us in our grooming reviews.

"Nicola has been caring for my gorgeous boy, Alfie, since 2015. She grooms him to perfection and takes him out for lovely walks. Alfie spins with excitement every time he sees her. I can highly recommend She Walks!"
Margie and Alfie
"Nicola has been grooming my dogs for over 4 years now. I would not consider going elsewhere. Whilst she is an incredibly skilled groomer, what really makes her stand out is her amazing patience, caring nature and good humour particularly when one of my dogs has been less than happy with being groomed. Her connection with them is obvious as they are always excited to see her. If you are fortunate enough to have Nicola groom your fur baby, you will be very lucky indeed."
Kate
"Nicola is brilliant, so kind, helpful and trustworthy. My little Toy Poodle Max goes to her gladly every single time because he knows he is safe and loved. This gives me so much comfort, Nicola also helped me understand what training is required to help Max get used to the grooming process, we had no idea how important this is. I am blown away every time I pick him up and see his new groom, he always looks so beautiful. Thank you, Nicola @ She Walks for being everything we need for Max."
Luisa and max
"Nicola has been grooming our Lagotto for over 14 months, during this time she has not only shown understanding and caring for our dog, but also has such enthusiasm and commitment for keeping Lugo calm and happy during the grooming process. The Lagotto have a breed trim that is a signature of the breed, and it takes knowledge and expertise to groom successfully. After many attempts with various groomers, we have at last found someone who knows exactly how to groom a Lagotto. The results speak for themselves. We are so thankful to have found Nicola and value her advice and positive attitude, 5 stars!"
GUY
"Bonnie has developed a beautiful relationship with both Nicola and the rest of the doggie gang and is overjoyed when Nicola comes to pick her up for her weekly run around. It gives me comfort knowing that while we’re at work, Bonnie is in the best hands. Her dog handling skills are second to none! On top of that she is also an experienced dog groomer and with poodles of her own knows exactly how we like Bon to be washed and trimmed. You’re a legend! Thanks for everything ❤️🐾🐾"

"Henry is always so happy when we drop him off at Nicola’s and we are so happy when we pick him up with his wonderful new groom. Henry always looks fantastic, with plenty of people commenting on his impeccable groom. Nicola shows an incredible amount of care and love for Henry, which makes the experience special for all of us. "
Lauren and Henry
"She Walks has our full trust and we know our puppies are treated by absolute professionals in Nicola and Sam. Regular haircuts and pampering is also on the menu at She Walks and both dogs come home looking so immaculately groomed, fresh and clean every time! A stellar team @ She Walks, thanks to Nicola we have two very happy puppies."
Sarah
"Nicola has been grooming my West Highland Terrier since he was a puppy. Every cut is excellent, with attention given to the smallest details – head, style of cut, nail length, and shaved belly to help us manage the muddy adventures at the park. Nicola is happy to adjust the type of cut to suit the season as well. He also LOVES the trip to see his hairdresser, proof of the extra care and attention she gives him each visit. Nicola’s grooming services come highly recommended."
