As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I create a welcoming and inclusive space for all pet owners. My goal is to make each grooming session stress-free, comfortable, and enjoyable for every pet, helping them look and feel their best. Let’s make grooming easier and more enjoyable for our furry friends!

Our first grooming and mobile service experience couldn’t have been better. Initially our dog was a little hesitant however once finished she was trying to go back in the van! The patience and care was obvious especially through our happy dog. Very pleased and will definitely book again, thank you!

Samba mobile grooming was amazing! I was able to get my dog booked within a week of my initial contact. The grooming was amazing; my dog (a medium golden retriever) was so clean and beautifully groomed. It was also so nice to have the groomer come to us. It certainly helped both my dogs and my own stress over going to the groomer. We will definitely be booking again!

Samba grooming is the best, Barbara is gentle and kind with my dogs. I have two German Shepherds and a little Frenchie. The Shepherds are "blowing" their coats at this time of year so I know that the job was not easy. They all came away looking and smelling beautiful. Thank you Barbara!
