Marie's Riverstick Groomers opened its doors in 2021, bringing a warm and personal dog grooming service to Riverstick, Carrigaline, Kinsale, Belgooly, Ballinhassig, Innishannon, Cork, and the surrounding area. Founded by Marie Walsh, our salon was born from a love of animals and a desire to provide the highest standards of grooming care.
Marie brings exceptional qualifications to every grooming session:
This professional background allows us to cater for all breeds, temperaments and ages with sensitivity and expertise. From full grooms and breed‑standard styles to quick tidy‑ups, nail clips and puppy introduction sessions, every service is delivered with patience and kindness.
We encourage social visits where dogs can explore the salon, meet our team and enjoy treats and toys. These positive experiences help even the most nervous pets to relax and eventually look forward to grooming time. Each dog gets their own private cabin and one-on-one attention throughout their visit.
As proud members of the Irish Professional Dog Groomers Association, we regularly attend workshops and competitions to stay current with best practices. We're committed to promoting pet welfare and to supporting our local community here in Riverstick, Co. Cork.
