Pampering 4 Paws

Professional - one to one dog grooming in a calm and supportive environment.

About Me – Your local, Ringwood based dog groomer

Hi, I’m Niki, the proud owner of Pampering4Paws 🐾

With a lifetime of experience caring for animals and over a decade running my home-based grooming studio in Ringwood, I’m passionate about providing professional, loving care for every dog who comes through my door.

After years spent working behind a computer, I followed my heart and retrained as a qualified dog groomer — and I’ve never looked back. Grooming isn’t just my job; it’s what I truly love to do.

My approach is all about patience, positive reinforcement, and creating a calm, one-to-one environment where your dog can feel completely at ease. There are no drying cages — just warm hands, gentle care, and plenty of treats 🐶

My goal is for every dog to leave feeling relaxed, happy, and de-stressed. I treat each pup as if they were my own, because I know just how much they mean to you.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m at home with my four wonderful dogs — Clemmie, Alfie, Honey, and Lola 🐕 Being a lifelong pet lover is at the heart of everything I do.

I can’t wait to welcome you and your four-legged family member to Pampering4Paws ❤️ 🐾

"Nikki is wonderful with timid dogs. Tink was really nervous and wriggly when she first started going. Now Tink walks straight in and comes out smelling and looking wonderful"
"First class as always"
"Great groomer, has kept our cockapoo looking smart for years"
"We haven't used this service yet but have been conversing with Niki and will definitely make an appointment with her as soon as we can!"
"Niki is fantastic. To say our miniature schnauzer dislikes bathtime/ being groomed, is an understatement! Niki was so patient and tolerant, giving H a very smart schnauzer trim. After 1 hr we collected a very happy dog who looked and smelt beautiful. Have already booked him in for his next session. Thank-you Niki."
"Always a brilliant service! Thank you"
"Excellent service with Nicky and my 15 year old Llasa Apso . A typical nervous small dog who comes out of trimming and grooming happy and bouncy. Well done."

"Nikki was amazing! I took my cane corso in for a standard groom, he's very nervous of most things and Nikki took her time and made him feel at ease! He was even relaxed when she dried him which was surprising as he is scared of hairdryers! Great experience for him and will be returning for his next appointment in a few weeks! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"m absolutely delighted with Brian's groom today. Thank you so much Niki. It was his 1st visit but it will be the 1st of many more !! We've now been to Niki's several times and I am always delighted with how Brian comes out from her salon - he's always beautifully clean, happy and relaxed. Niki is so very kind and I wouldn't take Brian anywhere else."
