Hi, I’m Charley, the proud owner of The Barking Lot, which I founded in 2019.

Dog grooming isn’t just my job; it’s my passion. I love meeting new dogs every day and building trust with each one, ensuring every groom is a calm, positive experience.

My aim is to pamper every pooch to the highest standard while always putting their comfort and wellbeing first. Whether your dog is confident or a little nervous, they’ll be treated with patience, kindness, and plenty of cuddles.

I am Level 3 qualified, a de-shedding specialist, first aid trained, and fully insured, providing a professional yet caring grooming service you can trust.

At home, I have two fur babies of my own, Dennis and Bruce, who remind me every day why I love what I do.
