Carman's Canines

Izzy is super reliable, flexible and attentive to your dog’s needs/personality. I have a nervous dog who can be a bit of a handful at first, but she was very understanding and patient. Naboo loves going on walks with her and I now use her services regularly! I would 100% recommend.

Izzy was fantastic with our puppy, he came back home beautifully groomed, more than that he was very happy and settled. We were very pleased as was Paddy. Thank you.

Izzy first started grooming my dogs while she was at uni, when her own all-round-dog business was still a dream. Our dogs have always loved her and so this year she has been grooming, weekly walking and training and house/dog sitting. One stop shop! I know I can trust Izzy. I’ve known her for quite a long time now. My dogs just adore her and so do the friends and neighbours who now have Izzy to help with their doggies too. Izzy is just dog nuts! She’s kind and patient but takes no nonsense from the dogs I’m sure! She’s not squeamish (she’s had some nasty grooming to deal with). She’s mature and professional. I keep recommending her to everyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Plus she looks out for our aged cat!

Hattie, our 12 year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been coming to Izzy for many years and is always pleased to see her, even though Hattie hates being washed! Izzy listens to how we would like her groomed (in our case, short paws, trimmed feathers to give an allusion of a waist, and rounded short ears) and does an amazing job even though Hattie never stays still! People always compliment us on Hattie and think she’s much younger than 12 - a testament to Izzy that a good hair cut takes years off a dog’s age!

Izzy’s expertise, professionalism and bond with dogs is unparalleled. She has been helping train and walk my dogs for a couple of years now and you can tell from the greeting she receives just how much they love her.She has helped keep Sid and Bandit exercised and engaged on their walks with her and her training has made them far better behaved on our walks and at home.I cannot thank Izzy enough for her amazing help. No question is ever too small and I have learnt so much about my own dogs along the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs.

I don't know what we would have done without Izzy during lockdown when she was just starting out on her canine career, and when we had a schnauzer who needed haircuts on a regular basis but all the grooming places had been closed. We would pass Murphy across at her door (all masked up as was required at the time) and collect him a few hours later. Izzy did a cracking job with the perfect 'schnauzer cut' and Murphy got to have a little play with all the other dogs and lots of cuddles from her family! Izzy is a delight and has a natural affinity with dogs. Highly recommend!

Izzy is great, she's been walking one to one our nervous rescue Lurcher Beryl, Beryl gets so excited to see Izzy, it's so lovely to see a relationship develop and Beryl trust another another human. Izzy has been extremely considerate of Beryls needs and communicates well with me so that I know how the walks have been.

Izzy was fantastic with our dog. She used lots of positive training techniques to improve her loose lead walking which has now massively improved- highly recommend!!

Izzy groomed and took care of my 17yr old spaniel right up until the end so there was no hesitation when I got my new puppy that he would be introduced to Izzy straight away for walks and grooming, he loved her immediately.I've told everyone about her and cannot recommend her highly enough, she is our own little dog whisperer :)
