“I have 6 year old female Maine Coon cat Called Lilly. She’s quite a timid girl especially around strangers so when I booked her in with Sandra for her first ever professional groom I was slightly worried about how she would react. I quickly realised this wouldn’t be a problem at all.

Sandra arrived in plenty of time before the appointment and we introduced her to Lilly, who by this time was desperately trying to escape!! She kept talking to her whilst setting up her equipment so that Lilly could get used to her voice which seemed to work a treat. By the time she started grooming Lilly she was settled an purring away. Apart from the fact that she now looks amazing, the change in her mood is unbelievable. She’s more affectionate, happy and all round more content, which is lovely to see. I will definitely be using Sandra again and would recommend her services to anyone. This is a lady who genuinely loves cats and they must be able to sense this as Lilly was very taken by her and looking forward to her next session.”

“….it was a lovely experience for her [Bessie]. Thank you for your kindness and wonderful professional service”.

What a handful my two turned out to be.  Both were in desperate need of a grooming (not that they agreed!!).  Konnie and Herbie are big cats and both turned out to be big babies.  However with a lot of patience, combined with a physical workout keeping them still, the grooming was a success.  A few days later and both cats still have the most beautiful coats.

“Dexter seems to be very happy with his new coat and he comes to us to be cuddled all the time now !  Thanks Sandra”

“Thank you so much for coming to groom us yesterday, we both had a chat with each other in the afternoon and we were so happy our nails had been clipped and our coats were excess hair free.   The calendar magnet is useful as reminds our Mum/Dad of the important dates.  We are looking forward to our March visit”

“Purrrrfect service:  Yesterday, Sandra came round to work her magic on Bonnie, who is a rescue cat.  I was worried how Bonnie would behave and feel as she had never been groomed before.  Sandra was lovely and Bonnie warmed to her straight away, which was reassuring.  Throughout the session Sandra spoke to Bonnie in a lovely calming manner and on hearing Bonnie meow’ing her reply it was me who was smiling like a Cheshire Cat.  After the session I could not believe how relaxed Bonnie was and how different she looked!  (Bonnie had the dry bath treatment).  I highly recommend Essentially Purrfect – Sandra is very knowledgeable of cats and recommended a brush for me to use of Bonnie’s fur (which she sheds a lot!!!!) …. Thank you for a fantastic serivce.  Nats and Bonnie x (Picture of Bonnie’s fur after her grooming!!!!)”

“Just had a brilliant session with Sandra and I actually think Radek enjoyed this one. He was that relaxed at one point we thought he had fallen asleep !!! I think, as always, the session was made a lot easier because Sandra is so patient and knows just how to handle him. Thanks again, Sandra xx”

Marie has been an absolute delight since her new “haircut” and pamper session with you.  She may have been a little grumpy as she’s not used to being fussed as much as that and usually decides even to let me know when she’s had enough. We’ve decided as a family that she now resembles a lion with her long mane and cropped behind but she’s strolling around like a little princess. Bless you, her fur is so soft and tangle free and she LOVES having her ears tickled. I think that’s the part she enjoyed the most when you came over.  I am DELIGHTED with what you managed to do with her fur but I am more delighted with the happy little cat that is now walking round the house with a new lease of life and a spring in her step!  I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family!   Warmest regards and sincere thanks.

“Thanks so much for seeing Milly again. She’s a regular customer now and after a rather tentative start (as usual) Milly settled in well with Sandra just fine. She’s a timid cat anyway but Sandra is so good with her. After her grooming session she seemed so happy, came and sat with me purring away ! Sandra did a brilliant job with her somewhat (ridiculously) fluffy coat again ! See you again soon x”

“Molly Moo is SO chilled and smells lovely. Thanks x”
