The person behind the purple paws
About Sam
Hello, I’m Sam, owner and groomer at Prestons Perfect Paws. I changed direction after a career in retail, took the plunge to train as a dog groomer and haven’t looked back.
Dogs have always been part of my life.
A caring change of career
I love that every dog is different and no two days are the same. At home, I have two spaniels of my own, Luna and Ruby. I live in Cannock with my husband, daughter and our pooches.
Cannock is part of my story; the Prestons Perfect Paws Salon and its grooming services are at The Cottage Kennels in Uttoxeter.
One groomer, calm care
One-to-one grooming shaped around your dog
I take time to learn what helps each dog feel safe, comfortable and refreshed. I tailor their visit and build trust with dogs and their owners, adapting or stopping when welfare or safety calls for it.
What one‑to‑one means here
Your dog receives my focused care in a calm Salon environment. Dogs from the same household may be present together when separation would be unsuitable and I consider the arrangement safe, so I do not promise absolute one-dog occupancy.

Would my approach suit your dog?
A request is not a confirmed appointment. I’ll get back to you to discuss your dog and whether the Salon can meet their needs.
