Our Story

Meet the Team
Owner and dog groomer at Softpaw Dog Grooming in Plimmerton, Porirua

Hi, I’m Stephanie, the owner and groomer behind

Softpaw Dog Grooming.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been grooming for 26+ years, and I genuinely love what I do.

 

I established Softpaw Dog Grooming in 2019 and feel incredibly fortunate to have spent the past seven years building my own business.

I completed professional salon training before establishing my business and have continued to develop my knowledge and skills throughout my grooming career, working with dogs of all ages, personalities and temperaments.

Having groomed my own Miniature Schnauzers for many years, my dogs have given me a deep appreciation for the trust owners place in their groomer. Every dog is different, with their own personality, needs and comfort levels. I believe in taking the time to understand each dog, working with them patiently and respectfully, and doing everything I can to make their grooming experience as comfortable as possible.

Over the years, I’ve been incredibly lucky to build strong, lasting relationships with my clients and their dogs, and I’m very grateful for the trust they place in me.

I look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged family to
