for Royston dogsDog groomer, walker & boarder in Royston
If you live in Royston, you’re about 6.3 miles east of Clayton West, where I groom, board and walk dogs.
A village in South Yorkshire about 4 miles north-east of Barnsley and 6 miles south-east of Wakefield, near the West Yorkshire border. That puts Royston within reach of my grooming, walking and home boarding, and dogs do travel for a groom or a stay. Hounds of Love is a small, personal service. Dogs from further afield come to Nanette’s garden studio in Clayton West for grooming and to stay at her home while their owners are away. It’s all done by one person, so your dog is the one getting the attention.
