Dog walking, grooming + washing for active pups.
Walked, washed, and ready for the couch.
No fluff (except the dog).
Hi, I’m Liz—your dog’s second favourite human.
I offer calm, one-on-one grooming and walking services from my home studio in Chifley. No rushing. No holding dogs down. Just clean, calm, happy dogs—and owners who trust me with their fur children.
A happy dog is a tired dog.

Our Services
Walk & Wash
$110 for dogs over 15kg
$77 for dogs under 15kg
First, we hit the pavement (or the trails) for a brisk 60-minute walk — perfect for dogs who love to move and need to burn off some steam. Then it’s back to base for a warm wash, gentle blow dry, and a spritz of calming dog-safe scent to finish.
Pick up and delivery to Chifley, Malabar, Matraville & Little Bay.
60 minute pack walk
$55
For dogs who need to move — this one’s for the high-energy explorers. We head out on a 60-minute adventure in one of our favourite scenic local spots (think coastal breezes, bushy trails, or big grassy spaces). There’s off-leash time included for dogs with solid recall, so they can stretch their legs, chase the wind, and just be dogs..
Pick up and delivery to Chifley, Malabar, Matraville & Little Bay.
Grooming Services
Grooming shouldn’t be scary. At Happy Dog Co, we offer gentle, one-on-one grooming in a calm, home-based salon — designed to feel more like a day spa than a production line.
We work with your dog’s energy, not against it — which means slower sessions, positive handling, and no rushing through the process. Whether it’s a full tidy-up or just a wash and blow dry, every service is tailored to your dog’s coat, comfort, and confidence. Wash & Blow Dry, Tidy Ups, Full Grooms & De-shedding

More about
Me
Hi, I’m Liz—and yes… I escaped real estate.
After 25 years in the industry, I knew two things for sure:
Everyone hates real estate agents.
I was so done with phone calls at all hours, weekends gone and pretending to love being on the road in Sydney traffic all day.
So I sold the business, swapped the heels for sneakers, and finally did what I’d always wanted to do:
Build a business around dogs.
Now I run Happy Dog Services from my home studio in Chifley. I offer calm, one-on-one grooming and walking sessions—designed to help dogs feel safe, relaxed and actually happy to come back.
No noisy salons. No rushing. No holding dogs down.
Just clean, calm, happy dogs and owners who feel completely at ease leaving them with me.
I specialise in high-energy pups, working breeds, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I’ll also give you honest feedback, practical tips and probably a funny story about what your dog got up to while they were here.
Because I’m not running a grooming factory—I’m building real relationships with good people and great dogs.
🐾 Happy Dog Co – Waiver & Terms of Service
Thank you for choosing Happy Dog Co. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and supportive experience for both you and your dog — whether we’re heading out for a walk or working together in the grooming space. Please take a moment to read and acknowledge the terms listed.
🐶 General Agreement
By booking a service with Happy Dog Co, you acknowledge and accept the terms outlined below. You agree that:
You are the legal owner (or authorised guardian) of the dog being serviced.
All information provided about your dog’s health, behaviour, and history is accurate and up to date.
🐕 Dog Behaviour & Safety
At Happy Dog Co, your dog’s emotional wellbeing is just as important as the outcome of their groom or walk. For everyone’s safety and comfort:
If your dog shows signs of extreme stress, fear, aggression, or reactivity, I may pause or end the session early.
You will be notified of any concerns during the visit, and recommendations may be given for gradual desensitisation, behavioural support, or future modifications to service.
If your dog is known to be reactive, you must disclose this at the time of booking so appropriate handling measures can be used.
✂️ Grooming – Coat Condition & Matting Policy
If your dog’s coat is matted, I will assess whether it is safe and ethical to brush out the matting.
In cases where brushing would cause undue stress or pain, I will clip the matting out as humanely as possible.
I will always aim to discuss these choices with you before or during the appointment. However, I reserve the right to make a welfare-based judgement during the session.
A matting surcharge may apply if significant extra time is required.
🛁 Grooming – Health & Cleanliness
Dogs with fleas may be declined or incur a flea treatment fee and cleaning surcharge.
If your dog has any skin conditions, recent surgeries, or contagious illnesses, please disclose this before booking.
Happy Dog Co is not responsible for pre-existing conditions or reactions to grooming products where no prior allergies were disclosed.
🐾 Walks – Safety & Environment
Dogs are only walked in secure areas or on-leash unless explicit off-lead permission is given in writing.
I take great care in matching dog groups for energy and temperament. Dogs will not be walked with unfamiliar dogs unless deemed safe.
You agree to provide secure harnesses/collars, and ensure your dog is microchipped and registered.
💳 Deposits, Cancellations & No-Shows
A deposit is required to secure grooming appointments. This deposit is non-refundable if cancelled within 24 hoursof the appointment.
No-shows will forfeit their deposit. Repeat no-shows may require full prepayment for future bookings.
If I need to cancel or reschedule due to illness, weather, or emergency, I will provide as much notice as possible and transfer your deposit or rebook at your convenience.
🚑 Emergencies
In the event of a medical emergency while your dog is in my care:
I will attempt to contact you immediately.
If you cannot be reached, I am authorised to seek veterinary treatment at your expense.
I will act in your dog’s best interest at all times.
💛 Our Promise
Your dog’s wellbeing comes first — always. This isn’t just about clean coats or good walks; it’s about trust, patience, and creating a calm rhythm your dog can feel safe in.
Thank you for trusting me with your dog.
