About

I am the most happy when around dogs and always dreamt of running my own business. So I was very excited to take the plunge and change of career from being a primary teacher to dog groomer and to open Happy Hounds Skye from my home in Portree in August 2023. Currently we are only offering dog grooming services but in the future we might be in a position to offer dog walking and socialising sessions again.

From our newly refurbished cabin salon, Happy Hounds Skye provides professional and gentle dog grooming based on trust in a loving, calm and relaxed environment for dogs of all breeds, shapes, sizes and ages. Puppies are also always welcome!

We are fully insured and trained including Canine First Aid certificates. 

The amazing Anna joined the business in September 2024 as an assistant groomer but since completing her training in 2026  has been working as a fully trained dog groomer for Happy Hounds Skye on a freelance basis since March 2026 when Happy Hounds re-opened after a small maternity break. My wee Emma is now attending nursery a few half days a week which has allowed me to return to grooming a few days a week too which is great! Siobhan McFarlane from Skye Groomers also started renting some salon space part time from us from August 2026 so you might see her too.

Of course Hugo, my big spotty four legged business partner is never too far away and when given the chance still pops out to the cabin to meet and greet everyone. 

Keep an eye on here, Facebook and Instagram for regular updates on availability!

Thanks
