Every figure here is computed from Google review data that Starworks collects for pet groomers in Newcastle, NSW, recalculated when this page rebuilds. Placement on this list cannot be bought.

How many pet groomers does Starworks rank in Newcastle?

Starworks ranks 151 pet groomers in Newcastle, NSW, holding 7,385 Google reviews between them. Across the 151 the median rating is 4.9 stars from a median of 14 reviews. Of the 151, 130 are rated 4.5 or better and 19 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 433 reviews, more than the top-ranked pet groomer holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

What star rating should I expect from a good pet groomer in Newcastle?

The median Google rating across the 151 pet groomers Starworks ranks in Newcastle, NSW is 4.9 stars, and 130 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for pet groomers in Newcastle, NSW rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.

How many Google reviews does an established pet groomer in Newcastle have?

The median pet groomer Starworks ranks in Newcastle, NSW carries 14 Google reviews, and 19 of the 151 pet groomers have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 433.

How does Starworks rank pet groomers in Newcastle?

Starworks gives every pet groomer in Newcastle, NSW a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.

Why does a pet groomer in Newcastle with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?

Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer pet groomer with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Newcastle, NSW. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.

Why does the same pet groomer not appear several times on this list?

Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 50 distinct pet groomers in Newcastle, NSW rather than a longer list of repeats.

How often is this list of pet groomers in Newcastle updated?

This ranking of pet groomers in Newcastle, NSW rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.

How can I improve my pet groomer business ranking in Newcastle?

Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median pet groomer Starworks ranks in Newcastle, NSW carries 14 Google reviews at 4.9 stars.
