A little information about me
My name is Vicki and I have been lucky enough to call Oxfordshire home for the past 25 years, and throughout that time I've always had a love for dogs. Working with animals is something I'm truly passionate about and I spent around five years working in a busy doggy day care, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities. As a proud parent of my daughter and three wonderful grandchildren and my dog Marlow, I understand how much our pets are treasured members of the family. That is why I treat every dog in my care with the same kindness, patience and attention I would want for my own dog Marlow.

My Vision
My vision is simple: to create a grooming experience where every dog feels safe, calm, and genuinely cared for. I believe grooming should never be stressful or uncomfortable—instead, it should be a positive, soothing experience built on patience, trust, and kindness.
I am passionate about working with dogs and take pride in treating each one as an individual. By focusing on their comfort and wellbeing, I aim to ensure every dog in my care is relaxed, free from pain, and handled with gentle expertise at every stage of the grooming process.
Alongside this commitment to welfare, I strive to deliver exceptional grooming results. Whether it’s a simple tidy-up or a full groom, my goal is for every dog to leave looking fantastic and feeling even better.
At the heart of Barking Bowser is a genuine love for dogs—and a dedication to giving them the care, comfort, and quality they deserve.
Our Passion for Dogs
From a full groom and trims to baths and tidy-ups. I take pride in helping dogs look and feel their best. My gentle approach is ideal for nervous dogs, puppies, and older dogs who need the extra care.
