Why a home studio
Your pet isn't a number in a queue
Most salons run several pets at once. Yours waits in a crate, listens to dryers
and strangers for hours, and gets handled by whoever is free. We built The Waggers
Den to be the opposite of that.
A home, not a shopfront
No fluorescent lights, no glass window with people tapping on it, no other
dogs barking. Just a quiet room set up properly for grooming — which is why
nervous pets settle here so much faster.
Cage-free, start to finish
Your pet is never crated waiting for a slot. They come in, they get groomed,
they go home. That alone removes hours of stress from a grooming day.
Updates, not silence
The hardest part of dropping your pet off is not knowing. You'll get photo and
video updates mid-groom — the single thing our clients mention most in reviews.
A typical salon day
Drop off at 10am, collect at 4pm — most of it spent waiting in a crate

2026 Winner
Proven at competition level
Judged against the best in the region — and placed first
Anyone can call themselves a groomer. Very few put their scissor work in front of
an international FCI judge and let it be scored. In April 2026, Yun Qi entered the
Singapore Kennel Club's grooming competition and took first place in her
level.
That matters to you for one simple reason: the same hands that produced a
competition-standard trim are the hands doing your dog's face.
Cats are not small dogs, and we don't treat them like it. Both get their own
handling approach, their own pace, and their own pricing.

Dog grooming
Basic groom (bath, blowdry, nails, ears, hygiene areas, pawpads) or a full
groom with a proper haircut in the style you want. Dematting, de-shedding
and herbal spa treatments available as add-ons.
Patient, low-restraint cat handling — including first-timers and long-haired
breeds that need de-matting. Lion cuts, sanitary trims, de-shedding and
nail work, all at a pace your cat can cope with.
Home-based, cage-free daycare (10am–6pm) and overnight boarding in an
air-conditioned room, with deliberately limited slots so every guest
actually gets attention.
Notice how many of these mention the same two things: the updates, and how
calm their pet was afterwards.
“I was very worried sending my fur baby to a new groomer but Yun Qi assured me
even before meeting us that my baby will be in good hands… Even during grooming
she would update us on the progress. Truly appreciate such gestures.”

“Of all the cat groomers we visited, this was the best experience we had. Yun Qi
was professional in handling our cats, providing us with picture updates during
the grooming session as well. Pricing is transparent and very reasonable.”
Aadx__Verified buyer review
“The best part of her service is when my kitten does not show any traumatised
behaviour after finishing her 1st grooming session! Fuss free and able to
accommodate my timing flexibility. Definitely 100% recommended!”
My dog hates the groomer. Will this be any different?
Usually, yes — and it's rarely the grooming itself they hate. It's the crate,
the noise, and the hours of waiting. Here your pet is the only animal in the
room and goes home as soon as they're done. Tell us about past bad experiences
when you book and we'll go slower, break the session up, and prioritise getting
them comfortable over getting them perfect.
Why do prices say “from”?
Because a 3kg Maltese and a 30kg Golden Retriever are not the same job. Final
price depends on your pet's size, coat length and coat condition — a badly
matted coat takes far longer and is charged accordingly. Message us your pet's
breed, weight and a recent photo and we'll give you an exact quote before you commit.
Do you groom cats, really?
Properly, yes — cats have their own service list and their own pricing, because
they need a completely different approach. Low restraint, short sessions, and
the option to stop and reschedule if your cat has had enough. Several of our
five-star reviews are from cat owners whose cats had never been groomed before.
Where exactly are you, and can you collect my pet?
We're a home studio off Sembawang Road. Because it's a private home, the full
address is sent to you once your booking is confirmed. If you'd rather not
travel, add transport to your booking — S$15 within Sembawang, S$25 to other
areas — and we'll collect and return your pet.
Slots are limited on purpose — one pet at a time means there are only so many
in a day. Check what's free this week, or message us first if you'd rather
ask a few questions.
