Emma did a great job with my 2 kittens. It was their first time with a groomer and Emma was very patient and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend her or to book her again. Thanks Emma!

Aw thank you Katie. I appreciate your words and I loved meeting your two balls of floof. I will look forward to seeing them both again soon.

I recently had all four of my cats groomed by Emma, and she was amazing. She’s a qualified veterinary nurse as well as a cat groomer, and she calmly and confidently guided my cats through their grooms and claw clipping. Emma was friendly, efficient, and made the whole experience stress-free for both my cats and me. Her prices were very reasonable, and I highly recommend Emma and Whiskers Retreat.

Emma was super helpful and lovely, before and during her visit to our 2 Raggamuffins. She took the time to get to know them and made them look stunning. Emma came to our home: as 1 of our boys is very nervous and was very stressed after his brother had been the the groomers previously. No stress with Emma's visit - he was too busy trying to break into the box of treats. Will be asking Emma back when tummy panels need attention.

Emma had my Maine Coon in at short notice as he had lots of knots around his belly. Now I have a happy knot free cat! Excellent service. Will use again.

After using another groomer I wasn’t keen on, I came across Emma and I’m so pleased that I did. Her communication was brilliant from the moment I text her. She was very professional and my two kitties came out lovely and clean and very happy indeed. Emma clearly loves what she does and I could tell that the cats felt very calm in her presence. I would not hesitate to use her again, I highly recommend. Thank you Emma 💛

I found Emma via the vets as Cat groomers (good ones are hard to find) My usual groomer is now a 70 mile round trip so finding Emma was amazing luck. (she is 2 miles door to door) . My boor was relaxed and chilled on the drive home which is a massive bonus. Emma has done a fantastic job and is patient with the animals entrusted to her. She is a credit to take this on and has done a wonderful job wit Hugo. Already looking to book the next Groom

Emma popped over to give our medium haired boy a a de-shedding and trouser tidy-up 🐈‍⬛️ he was most intrigued by the bag of tricks Emma brought and really enjoyed the silicone brush used - at times as though he was having a massage at a spa. By the end of his appointment he was almost dozing off and did infact fall asleep in my daughter's arms snuggled like a baby soon after - he never does this unless feeling poorly. Next appointment already booked, cannot recommend enough 😃

Emma was absolutely fantastic in removing Bruno’s mats, and coming to the house kept him super calm and at one point he even seemed to be enjoying it! Emma was very professional and super knowledgeable and I highly recommend!

Emma is amazing. My usually nervous cat felt so calm and comfortable, which says a lot. The grooming was great — she came home soft, clean, and happy. You can tell Emma truly cares about the cats.

This was the first time my cats have had a groom and I am supper happy with the service I got. There is no pressure on the cats and everything is done to the cats needs and they arnt pressured. I received updates and pictures of how they where doing and tips for items that would be better for their fur type.

We have a Persian kitten who gets matted fur and has hygiene problems due to her long fur. We took her to Emma for the first time and were really happy with the results. Our kitten had had all her matts removed, had soft, glossy fur, had been trimmed in the necessary areas and smelt amazing. We would definitely recommend Emma and will bring our kitten back to her again in the future!

Amazing experience. Got my cat’s claws trimmed with no fuss, expertly done, and left us a little treat and expert advice. Friendly and patient and let my cat set the pace. All at an incredibly reasonable price! 100% recommend.

I was looking for a very professional cat groomer as it would be the first time for my very senior cat who isn't socialable at all. On his first ever initial groom, followed by questions about his overall condition including pictures of his fur, Emma managed his attitude "do not touch my matted fur" brilliantly, so I'm really thrilled how she made him calm and comfortable in new surroundings. Emma helped my cat tremendously. Freddie already behaving differently as he can feel "lighter" and we are going back to Emma for more pampering. I can highly recommend Emma, as her passion about cats is real.

Absolutely brilliant! Emma is so lovely, easy to communicate with, and did a wonderful job of sorting out our fluff ball who’d got in a bit of a mess! She was very understanding, did exactly what was discussed/needed, gave me advice and clearly knows what she is doing - my vet actually recommended whiskers retreat and I am so relieved they did! 🤩 so much removed in our cats first ever groom!
