Most Loved Pets

Most Loved Pets is a Central Coast pet grooming business run by Sonia, combining a dog grooming salon based in Gosford with a dedicated cat grooming house-call service. Alongside grooming, the business also offers pet minding and dog walking, so much of a household's pet care can be handled by one familiar groomer.

The approach reflects Sonia's long path into the trade. She began in animal welfare as a teenage foster carer for rescue centres in Barcelona, studied pet grooming from 2007, and spent close to seven years at a Spanish grooming salon before moving to Australia in 2014 and managing the grooming team at a Northern Beaches day care. That grounding shows in the way the work is framed around building trust with each animal and its owner rather than rushing through a list. Cat grooming is offered as an in-home house call specifically because handling cats in their own space tends to be calmer and less stressful than transporting them. Ongoing breed-specific training, including poodle, cocker spaniel, schnauzer and bichon frise work plus hand stripping and teddy trims, sits behind the salon side.

It suits Central Coast owners who want an experienced, qualified groomer who treats the work as a vocation.
