About
About Awesome Pride & Groom
Awesome Pride & Groom is a professional, fully insured dog grooming and pet-care business offering a personal, welfare-focused service in a calm rural setting.
I provide one-to-one grooming, giving every dog my full attention and tailoring their experience to their individual coat, temperament and needs. I am City & Guilds Level 2 & 3 qualified, canine first aid trained and a multi-award-winning groomer, trained at Look North Grooming & Training Centre.
Alongside grooming, we offer licensed home boarding and daycare, dog walking, pet sitting and wedding dog chaperone services. Our home boarding and daycare are licensed by the local council, providing additional reassurance to our clients.
At Awesome Pride & Groom, dogs are never simply another appointment. We take the time to get to know them, build trust and provide patient, individual care. Our aim is to offer professional standards with a genuinely personal approach, giving owners peace of mind that their dogs are being cared for with kindness, experience and dedication.

Why them
What makes us different
What makes Awesome Pride & Groom different is our truly personal approach. I groom one-to-one, one dog at a time, in a calm rural setting, so every dog receives my undivided attention. I don’t believe in rushing or a one-size-fits-all service; each dog is treated as an individual, with their comfort, welfare and needs at the heart of everything I do.
As a City & Guilds Level 2 & 3 qualified, first aid trained and multi-award-winning groomer, I combine professional knowledge with genuine care. From grooming to licensed home boarding and daycare, my focus is on building trust and lasting relationships with both dogs and their owners.
Approach
Our approach
My approach is centred around providing calm, peaceful and dog-focused care. I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while they are with me, so I take the time to understand their individual personality, needs and boundaries.
Working one-to-one allows me to adapt each appointment to the dog in front of me rather than expecting them to fit into a set routine. I use patience, reassurance and a gentle approach to make the grooming experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
For me, a successful groom isn’t just about the finished result. It’s about building trust and creating a positive experience so that dogs can feel increasingly happy and confident about coming back for their next visit.

I’m Frankie, owner and groomer at Awesome Pride & Groom. I’m City & Guilds Level 2 & Level 3 qualified, canine first aid trained, and a multi-award-winning dog groomer, having trained at the highly respected Look North Grooming & Training Centre.
I’m passionate about providing a truly personal grooming experience, offering one-to-one appointments in a calm, peaceful rural setting. Every dog is treated as an individual, with their groom tailored to their coat, temperament and needs — never rushed and never treated as just another appointment.
Awesome Pride & Groom is fully insured, and our home boarding and daycare services are licensed by the local council, giving clients additional reassurance that their dogs are being cared for professionally and responsibly.
For me, it’s about more than providing a service — it’s about trust, welfare and building lasting relationships with the dogs in my care and their owners.

For everyone’s wellbeing, the safety of both the dog and the groomer will always come first when assessing and carrying out any groom.

Frankie came highly recommended to us, almost 3 years ago. Her gentle handling of our cocker spaniel has made grooming sessions a stress free experience. Bracken always looks amazing after her hand stripped grooming. Would not hesitate in recommending Frankie to any new client.

We absolutely love coming here. Luna looks amazing after her most recent grooming. The service is always fantastic and the location is beautiful. Frankie is brilliant and always takes time to explain the choices available and give guidance where needed. Highly recommend!

Frankie has been grooming my dog for a few years now. Always does a great job and the dog is happy to go and still so when collected.

Awesome Pride & Groom are professional, helpful and genuinely care about the dogs in their care. We use them for daycare and boarding. Their approach is very different to typical dog boarding where your dog may need to stay confined in isolation for hours each day. At Awesome Pride & Groom your much loved pet becomes part of their family. Our much loved dog loves going there, he gets to socialise with other dogs and gets as much exercise as he could want.

We were looking for an excellent groomer for our miniature schnauzer and Frankie came highly recommended. Immediately after our initial phone consultation, I was confident she was going to take good care of our boy and make him look fantastic. She did not disappoint and continues to groom him to an exceptionally high standard and we get many compliments on his breed-standard groom. A close family member is now also taking her two toy poodles to Frankie. We were very lucky to find her. Highly recommended.
