One of my dogs is very nervous, and I was worried that he may get aggressive with Jill, but she was and is wonderful with him.

Brilliant at what they do, Binky always comes bouncing out of the place strutting her cut. They really care about and get to know the quirks of the furballs.

I’ve been coming to Alfie & Bear for years, first with my family’s two dogs, and now with my own since moving out. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Chester. Jill is not only incredibly talented but also has such a genuine love for the dogs she works with. She always goes above and beyond, and Chester always comes home looking and feeling amazing every time. I truly wouldn’t go anywhere else!


Barry Speirs, August 2025

We have been using Alfie & Bear since they first opened for our two Yorkshire Terriers. Jill has alway been very kind and friendly, and has a lovely nature with all the dogs she grooms. Hence we always have to book well in advance due to her busy schedule. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alfie and Bear to new customers.


Philipa Popay, August 2025
