“We took our Freddie to see Sarah for his first groom when he was a puppy and we’re so glad we did! Freddie loves going for a groom now and adores seeing Sarah. Sarah always seems to know how to make Freddie look amazing even when I don’t know what I want! Sarah is always just a text away if I have any questions in between the grooms and is friendly but professional. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone!”
Calm, stress-free grooming for every pup.
I'm Sarah, a Level 3 qualified dog groomer with 6 years' experience. I give every dog that comes through the door expert grooming with care and attention, so they go home looking and smelling amazing.

Benji, back for his first bath
A first visit before the first groom.
Before a puppy's first proper groom, I offer a short visit so they can meet me and see the salon. It gives them a positive first experience and helps prepare them for their first puppy groom.
- Nails trimmed & pad hair clipped
- Face trim to see those lovely eyes
- Lots of fuss & cuddles
- Plenty of yummy treats
Fresh from the table

Kind words
Waggy tails in, waggy tails out.

“Sarah is caring, trustworthy and absolutely lovely, I feel complete at ease leaving my puppy and he comes back looking and smelling amazing and is so so happy. Sarah moved from my hometown to the next town on and she is that great that I am travelling to another town just to make sure I have her. I couldn’t recommend her more”
“Love the care and attention given to the pup-stars by Sarah. It’s good to see someone who genuinely loves her job and treats her “customers” so well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pretty Paws North Devon”
“Sarah has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog Cove. Cove hates baths and is too heavy for me to lift into the bath at home so he regularly sees Sarah for a bath and brush out. He loves it! Always has a waggy tail entering and leaving the salon and smells amazing too!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else”
