“Wouldn't take our nervous, anxious rescue anywhere else!!! Tam adores the dogs she works with, and they love her in return. She listens to what we want about shape etc, for our Yorkie, and she always comes back to us looking cute as anything!”
“Best dog groomer in Cheltenham by far, Tams kindness is obvious the second you walk through her door. Love that she doesn't use cages and will take her time with every dog to make sure they aren't stressed.”
““Aunty Tam” is wonderful with my rescue dog Elsa, due to some mishaps in the past Elsa is an anxious mess with baths, clippings and brushing. She is patient, loving and knowledgeable. I'm so glad we found Boss Dog!”
“Tam is so amazing with my boy Milo! He had a bad grooming experience when he was a pup, but Tam's helped him be less nervous and more comfortable with being handled and groomed!”
“Very happy with the way both dogs were groomed. Tam listens to you when you explain how you would like them done and if for some reason you're not happy she will sort it for you. Already booked their next groom.”
“my dog couldn't wait to get into the salon, he knew he was going to get the best fuss, his tail is always wagging and always looks so splendid when he comes out and smells divine”
