Precious Paws Pampering’s Testimonials:

I have been bringing my Bichon-Maltese to Precious Paws Pampering for the past 14 years. I and my little Suki are so happy with care and attention provided by Carolyn. Suki gets a full groom every 2 weeks and she loves it. She loves Carolyn and looks forward to her grooming. I would never consider using any other groomer as Carolyn is very professional. 14.5 years ago, I used a different groomer and was not happy about it ... I was so happy to find Precious Paws Pampering and indeed have referred many pet owners. 

Sincerely

Judy & Suki

Carolyn, at Precious Paws Pampering, is by far the best pet groomer I have found in Cayman. From the minute I hand my fur baby over to her, her warmth and genuine care for my shitzu is obvious. Instead of shaking with fear, my twelve-year-old shitzu remains calm and curious.  When I return to pick him up, he’s always looks great! You can tell by his cut and his behaviour that she has taken very good care of him. Along with a very good groom, Carolyn also provides feedback and recommendations on the general health of my fur baby, which I find tremendously helpful. I highly recommend Carolyn if you are looking for a groomer who genuinely cares about your pet, and who provides an excellent service every single visit.

Thanks

Debbie

Carolyn Bodden has been grooming my dog for the last eleven years.  In the United States, my dog, had to be muzzled by every groomer that tried to groom him.   Since I brought him to Cayman and Carolyn has been grooming him, no muzzle has been needed and he actually gets excited when I tell him he is going to “visit” his Auntie Carolyn.  After his “visit”, Nacho always looks fabulous.   Thank you Carolyn

 Love,

Constance

We have been using the services of Precious Paws Pampering for close to 10 years and our experience has been excellent.  Carolyn is personable, and loves and takes care of our dog as if he was her own.  She is prepared to receive him early and keep him a bit after the service if we are running behind schedule.  She has even dropped him home for us.  As part of her value added approach, she suggests when a visit to the vet might be necessary to take care of any concerns she has. 

Carolyn maintains her professional approach with a clean place of business that reassures the pet and pet-owners.  Her service provides good value for money. 

We highly recommend Carolyn and Precious Paws Pampering (if our pet could talk he would agree!)

Regards, 

Ormond & Rachel Williams

My husband and I have been using the services of Precious Paws for many years

We have found her service to be exceptional.  She is caring and thorough with our dogs.

She also provides a proper and full assessment sheet along with her bill showing all

that she has done and seen with the dogs. We have never received such proper service from

any other groomer in the past.

Carolyn (Precious Paws Pampering) was recommended to me for my Shih tzu, Patches, who was really scared to go to my original groomer. He would cry, scrabble for me to pick him up and start to shake. This was very concerning as Patches is actually quite a confident, friendly dog. That all changed from the moment I walked through the door of Precious Paws Pampering. The name perfectly describes the business. Your dog does feel precious and pampered! Patches has no issues with grooming now as Carolyn goes above and beyond, paying attention to anything that may be amiss and advising of any concerns. If you want your dog truly pampered as opposed to merely groomed, Precious Paws Pampering is definitely the place for you.

I have a 14 year old Yorkie and given his age I am very particular about his care.  I am so happy to have found Carolyn and Precious Paws!  I hand him over to Carolyn and don’t worry about a thing.  He comes back every time happy and handsome!  Carolyn is very professional and personal at the same time.  I would recommend Precious Paws to anyone that wants the best care for their little furry friends. 

Thanks Carolyn,

I have been using Precious Paws to groom my dogs for over ten years. Carolyn provides a door to door service which is really appreciated by this busy mum. She can handle dogs young or old, small or large, and any specific requirements/ailments they have. Carolyn is the only groomer on island who knows a Westie cut! I highly recommend you schedule an appointment for your furry friend.

I am writing in regards to the services I have received for 10 years that was afforded to me and my little boy Buddy who was a regular through Carol Bodden and the above business. Firstly, I have to say Carol does not treat Precious Paws Pampering as a business but from my point of view she does it out of passion and love for all the little ones that walks through her doors. I can safely say that she not only does a home visit before a client is accepted but you will get a descriptive narrative when a visit is completed to something as simple as a rash that is spotted and a possible solution.

 My Buddy was not comfortable at the other place I was taking him and I sensed this and decided to change as he was very afraid whenever it was spa day, after Carol vetted Buddy at our home and we passed I began attending Precious Paws and immediately saw the difference in him, Buddy was only two at the time. He was never hesitant or shaking, he was comfortable and had a genuine affection towards Carol which was very clear to me.

 The professionalism is also just that, your bill when payment is given tells you exactly what was done and the time spent on your little one, also your next appointment is booked so us working people can adjust to suit. I never had the cause to feel my Buddy was not being treated as a rock star, he certainly knew it and did his little antics to showing off his grooming to my delight.

 It was also beneficial to my state of mind due to my profession as a Police Officer sometime I had some hick ups at work but Carol offered the service of pick-ups and drop offs which gave added comfort to know my boy would be waiting for me at home safely.

I do not believe all persons are capable of understanding how attached you can get to your pets and how protective you become with their care and protection, at Precious Paws Pampering the care and well-being of your pet is foremost. I can attest to the care as I have close to ten years of wonderful treatment from Carol with Buddy, she has attended several of his birthday parties at our home and has always been a face welcomed by both, I will recommend her services to anyone with brutal honesty as I am proof through her service, she is my own little animal whisperer.

We have been clients of Carolyn’s since 2007 and it has been nothing but great since then. She has provided exceptional services from day one whether it be booking appointments, making changes to appointments or caring for the dogs. She provides feedback if she notices anything off with the dogs which is great since we don’t always notice these things. The first time she met my dog, Yoji, she picked him up, cuddled and kissed him and, I knew right then he was in good hands. We never wonder if they are okay when they are with her.

We are very pleased with the services we have received over the years and will continue to use Carolyn as long as we have dogs.

We have several dogs that require special grooming care, Carolyn, at Precious Paws is not only gifted, but proficiently trained in cutting our Shihtzu and Poms. I am extremely busy and don’t always remember to pre-book appointments, Carolyn has our pups on a regular rotation, and always reminds me ahead of time by texting me to remind me. Her texts are full of the details I need, including which animal is due, the time of the appointment and calls when they are ready for pick up. She always sends a detailed description of care and any concerns or makes me aware of potential issues, such as new moles, or any new cysts etc. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Carolyn’s skilled manner and I appreciate how meticulous her care is with each of our pets. I highly recommend Precious

Paws for your grooming needs.

Mr. Aronfeld and I have known Ms. Carol Bodden for nearly two decades.  Ms. Carol was initially recommended because we were in need of a qualified and experienced dog groomer.  The reason was that the breed of dogs we own, require frequent professional grooming. They are, indeed, one of the most difficult breeds to groom of all breeds of dogs.

 Bedlington Terriers have a unique coat which requires a dog groomer who is knowledgeable of the requirement to achieve the correct Bedlington Terrier trim.  However, there was no one at the time in all of Grand Cayman who had the training to groom a Bedlington Terrier.  And, though Ms. Carol did not then have experience in grooming a Bedlington Terrier.  What Ms. Carol did have was the professional responsibility and dedication to learn this demanding breed’s required trim based on her dog grooming certification the requirements and skill to do the job.

 In the two decades since our initial meeting and her undertaking to maintain and care for our dogs Ms. Carol has proven to always remain a true professional. She is totally organized and has continued to improve her business skills by a continued commitment to improve her billing system and calendar. And, dog grooming skills.

 Ms. Carol’s love for her own personal animals and all of the animals she grooms, continues to evidence to all who know her - that she is a truly kind, caring and loving woman.  Indeed, to this day, she continues to be selfless in also providing a loving home and education to her niece and nephew, as well.

 Thus, we most humbly and respectfully acknowledge that Ms. Carol’ Bodden’s dedication to her family, her professional clients, her business, and all living creatures is a true testament of her character.  Indeed, we cannot imagine our world without this very special woman, Ms. Carol Bodden.

With humble respect and friendship,

Sheila Marie and Norwin Lee Aronfeld

This is a testimonial regarding Carolyn Bodden as it pertains my experience with her as a pet groomer.

Carolyn first started grooming my cats off and on since 2007. She is very professional and works very hard at what she does. She's a pet whisperer in my humble opinion. She knows how to put my cats at ease. She is so good that she managed to brush and clip the claws of one of my cats who is a tad bit shy, bordering on feral.

I am quite happy to have the chance to do this testimonial for her

Kind regards 

Karen                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        08 October 2022

Our “4 legged” child is our most precious possession so it was obvious we were going to have the best groomer we could get for her. We stumbled upon Carolyn by meeting a fellow dog lover on Seven Mile beach some 18 years ago who made a point of recommending Carolyn even though we had not discussed grooming! She made it clear we needed to meet her!

It wasn’t easy! I “ begged” for an appointment and was able to secure but not for a couple of weeks later. The rest as they say “is history”. The fact is Carolyn is stellar at her job! Her organizational skills & efficiency are also first class.

Our only hesitation would be to mention that Carolyn is very much an introvert and as such is very reluctant to “put herself out there”. The fact is she is extremely resourceful (this I know from having frequent conversations with her not only about her business but her family) and is a very well-rounded person in terms of ability. We trust this course she is about to complete will give her the incentive to perhaps be a little more proactive in growing her business and advertising her services.

However, ultimately it is Carolyn’s decision as to how she will pursue her future path and we feel sure that whatever path she chooses will be the best for her.

It is my pleasure to provide a testimonial for Carol at Precious Paws. Carol and her mum first started coming to groom my 9 dogs in 2001! She has been my only dog groomer ever since and has mostly come to my house due to the number of dogs over the years. Now we have 6 and they need shaving down 3 or 4 times a year.  She is so skilled and professional. Some of my dogs are very skittish with the noise of clippers, but she puts them at their ease and does a perfect job every time.

I have recommended her many times and my friends are also 100% happy with her service. She is successful and so gets booked up, but always finds a way to fit us in.

She is absolutely the best. Would never use anyone else!
