About The Mutt Co
I’m Kerry Gardner, the proud owner and dog groomer behind The Mutt Co.
About The Mutt Co
My journey into dog grooming began in an unexpected way during the COVID-19 pandemic. While furloughed from my role as a Garment Technologist in retail head office, I decided to pursue my love for animals and trained in professional dog grooming at Newton Rigg College. The experience was a turning point, igniting my passion for working with dogs every day.

Since then, life has blessed me with a wonderful family. I married my lovely husband Paul in 2022 and we welcomed our beautiful daughter, Ava, into the world in 2024, which inspired me to find a career that offers more flexibility for my family. I wanted a role that could blend my professional skills with my love for dogs and a schedule that suits both my work and family life.
As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve always had a deep affection for dogs and a keen understanding of their personalities and needs. At The Mutt Co, my goal is to create a calm, welcoming, enjoyable environment where each dog feels at ease and every owner feels confident leaving their beloved pet in my care. Whether it’s a quick trim or a full grooming session, I bring dedication and genuine care to every dog I meet.
At The Mutt Co, I take a holistic approach to grooming. I believe that each dog’s comfort and happiness are essential, and I’m dedicated to creating a stress-free experience for every pet. I would never force a dog into any part of the grooming process that makes them uncomfortable; instead, I work at each dog’s pace, using gentle techniques and positive reinforcement to ensure they feel safe and secure.
Thank you for trusting The Mutt Co – I really look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend!
