About Me

Hi, I’m Elyse, an award-winning dog groomer with over 10 years of professional experience. After running the highly successful and award-winning Little Dog Studio in Brisbane, I’ve recently returned to my hometown of Port Stephens to continue doing what I love most — creating beautifully groomed, happy dogs.

I specialise in styled grooms and teddy bear trims, with a strong focus on coat health, comfort, and breed-appropriate finishes. I’m particularly passionate about poodles and schnauzers, having owned and worked extensively with these breeds throughout my career.

My approach to grooming is calm, gentle, and one-on-one, ensuring every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. I believe grooming should be a positive experience, not just a haircut.

If you’re looking for the best dog groomer in Port Stephens, someone who genuinely cares about your dog and delivers consistent, high-quality results, I’d love to welcome you and your pup.

The window also indicates that it is a stylish grooming salon for small dogs. There is greenery in the foreground partially obscuring the view.
