About Us
Jo
My Mum and Dad have bred Rough Collies all my life (Aspera). We had a lot of success with numerous best puppies best of breeds res CCs and CCs. As I was growing up I went to many of the top kennels of the time as a kennel's maid and learnt many skills and tips on learning dog behaviour. I also went to many boarding kennels to help out. When I left school in 1990 I went to Charney Kennels (now The Grooming Room in Oxford) to train to be a professional groomer. I trained for 6 months, 6 days a week and passed my written test gaining 100% and my practical diploma gaining A-.
Earlier this year I went to my first competition Southeast Groomer with Pippa Capes were I won my class and then Groomer of the Year were I also won my class with Petra. Also this year I decided to take my City and Guilds which I passed first time.
Steve
I came on board 4 Years ago. Jo and I were married a few years prior and have always had a passion for animals so it seemed the ideal opportunity to join businesses as we started to get busier and clients requested more services from us such as dog walking day crèche. We attended courses to learn how to micro chip animals and learn more about animal behaviour. I pride myself on the services we provide and the quality of service.
Vacancy

Client Testimonials
After a nightmare experience with another groomer I found Aspera nearly two years ago and have never looked back since. The service is second to none and the quality of the grooming is excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Jo, Steve and their team to anyone. Once you try the service you will never look back.

I first met Jo when I got Toby nearly 2 years ago. I wanted him to have a tidy up as I am unable to get about easily Jo came to the house to groom him here, which took away the worry and aggravation of taking him anywhere. Toby started to gain weight so I used Jo and Steve's dog walking service.
Jo and Steve told me of a Rot that needed a home and I couldn't resist! They have always been reliable, caring and I know they are only a phone call away if I need them for anything even taking Toby/Dasher to the vets!! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! Toby and Dasher say Thank you!
