Expert Grooming, Premium Results

Our professional on-site salon is at the heart of everything we do at Anna's Ark. Every groom is carried out with skill, care and patience — whether your dog is a nervous first-timer or a regular.

We take pride in getting to know every dog individually, so each session is tailored to them — their coat, their temperament, and exactly how you'd like them to look.

The Heart of Anna's Ark

We Don't Just Care for Dogs. We Build Relationships.

Hi, I'm Anna. I started Anna's Ark because I believe that the bond between a dog and the people who care for them matters just as much as the service itself. Over the years, that belief has shaped everything we do here.

"One of the biggest strengths of Anna's Ark is the personal side — the relationships we build with both the dogs and their owners. That's something I'm incredibly proud of."

What began as a passion has grown into North Devon's most trusted pet services centre — a registered Ltd company, fully licensed (AWL0009 — 5 Star), and built entirely on reputation and trust. We serve families across Barnstaple, Fremington, Roundswell and the wider North Devon area.

The People Behind the Ark

Meet the Team

Anna
Anna

The heart and soul of Anna's Ark. Anna built this business from the ground up with one simple belief — that every dog deserves to be truly known, not just looked after. Her passion, warmth and dedication set the standard for everything we do.

Stu
Stu

Stu has been part of Anna's Ark from the very beginning. With a huge love of animals and years spent working closely with the dogs in our care, he's developed a real understanding of each dog's individual personality and needs. Often found wandering the grounds with a long trail of four-legged followers — a bit like the Pied Piper.

Helen
Helen

Helen has been with us for nearly eight years and is a hugely valued part of the Ark. A qualified puppy trainer who runs her own training business, she's currently working towards a degree in dog behaviour. Helen works closely with us to support training needs in daycare and has an extra special relationship with every dog she works with.

What North Devon Families Say

100% Five-Star Reviews

★★★★★

"Dolly, our nervous Cockapoo, visited Anna for the first time today. Anna was simply amazing with her, taking extra time so not to cause her any stress. The groom was exactly what I asked for, she looks beautiful and smells divine too. I would highly recommend Anna if you are looking for a groomer. I have booked her next groom already. 5★ all the way."

— Carol Halling
★★★★★

"Would definitely recommend Anna's Ark for her grooming service — she takes a lot of pride in her grooming and treats the dogs like her own. I have been twice now with my West Highland Terrier and wouldn't go anywhere else. She also offers a drop off and pick up service which is reasonable and very helpful."

— Lynda Hewitt
★★★★★

"My dog's first visit to Anna — she is not a fan of a groom at all but she came out as proud as punch and looked absolutely gorgeous! Lovely personal service and Anna managed to squeeze me in at short notice."

— Glynis Gover
