“Every time we bring Grover in, the staff is genuinely happy to see him. They take such great care of him.”
“Their grooming is fantastic. Our dog cannot handle any other groomer. She always does a great job and our anxious little terrier clearly enjoys going to see her.”
“We love this groomer! They are so patient with our puppy and very gentle with our senior dog who is afraid of having his nails trimmed. Great cuts, friendly staff and clean facility.”
“Having an excellent experience boarding and grooming with Melissa and her wonderful staff. Highly recommend!”
“Four Paws is the best. The owner is very friendly and kind. My dog looks so handsome after grooming. ????”
“These guys are the real deal. Love the Mgmt team Pete and Jordan .... 5 star white glove treatment from the initial meeting to see if we were a great fit, to the daily operational execution. Our puppy is being trained and participates in daily walks with their amazing team. They do it all at BDB and they do it right!”
“I can’t recommend Untangled Tail highly enough. I’ve worked with several groomers over the years, and Brenda stands out as the most skilled and professional by far. My dog has very sensitive skin and often had flare-ups after grooming elsewhere, but since switching to Untangled Tail, he’s done exceptionally well.<br><br>Not only does he always look fantastic, but the appointments are also noticeably more efficient than with other groomers. At this point, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with his care.<br><br>Beyond her technical skill, Brenda is kind, organized, flexible, and excellent at communication, making scheduling and coordination seamless.”
“Lib is amazing, she has been so good to my 7 month old cockapoo. My puppy needed socialization with other fur babies and she loves other dogs now. She jumps out of the car to see her dog friends. Desiree does her grooming and my puppy looks so great, she custom cuts her hair, no cookie cutter cuts, and blows her out to perfection”
“I absolutely love Paw Forever by Flor! They always do an excellent job, and my furry baby loves going there because they make him feel right at home. Every time I request a service, they meet (and even exceed) my expectations. It’s such a relief to know my dog is cared for with so much love and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
“Deanna is an absolute sweetheart of a human being. I felt so comfortable in her clean, bright, and thoughtful space. My pup gets very nervous when he is away from his pack; prolonging grooming, waiting in cages for hours next to other dogs who are barking of crying is too intense for him. I had no idea that other grooming places are like a factory assembly and would take 4 hours to 5 hours to groom my 10 pound pup.<br><br>With a private grooming experience there is no wait time. The focus is completely on him from drop off to pick up time which was a total of 60 minutes. The cut is so cute and he wasn’t lethargic or disconnected when we picked him up. Very happy discovered Deanna!<br><br>Space: 10/10<br>Friendliness: 10/10<br>Cut: 10/10<br>Communication: 10/10”
“Sara and the Harbor Hounds team have become like family. They welcomed our Berner when he was a crazy puppy, and it is all credit to them that he plays so well and so safely with all different types of dogs. They provide exceptional care for their daycare dogs and prioritize safety in all aspects.<br><br>Bruski became a better listener and better furrend because of Harbor Hounds.<br><br>The icing on the cake is that their grooming services are amazing as well - Berners are difficult to cut and take forever to blow-dry and they have been the best (and the fastest) we've ever gone to.<br><br>The most difficult part of our move to the south shore will be having to say goodbye to Harbor Hounds!”
“The Best ! My poodle suffers with separation anxiety. The groomer is well accommodating and sensitive to his needs . No loud music blaring , no open exhibition windows. A calm soothing environment. I only wish human salons were this well thought out”
“Had such a great experience here with our golden retriever, Callie - staff is friendly, knowledgeable, skillful, and truly loves dogs! Already have an appointment in the books for next time!!”
“I wish I could give more than five stars! My little angel has literally NEVER looked better! Every other place I’ve taken him has had to shave him down completely, but Jen was able to keep his length while making him so soft and fluffy. The pricing was great, the front desk staff was incredibly kind, and the space itself was clearly designed with a lot of thought and care. We will absolutely be back!”
“my 11yo Greyhound Arnie was struggling with separation anxiety. going to daycare has transformed him! he gets to be around other dogs, gets walks and regular attention. he comes home with a spring in his step and jaunty. I so appreciate the care he gets. thank you Jenny and Will for your care of Arnie!!! highly recommend Big Daddy Doggie Daycare”
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Janelle for embracing Tino as a client. She has lovingly cared for my past golden retrievers over the past couple of years. Previously, I had taken Tino to a nearby groomer, which proved to be a costly endeavor, and he unfortunately suffered cuts on his lower body due to the groomer's lack of experience, leaving him traumatized. The subsequent urgent care bills were staggering. Tino's fear of groomers became so intense that I had to consult with his vet to obtain medication to alleviate his anxiety. Fortunately, I reached out to Janelle, and she graciously accommodated me with an early morning appointment at 6:30 am. She did an outstanding job, and Tino looks phenomenal. He was beaming with joy, showering her with kisses, and his tail was wagging ecstatically - he almost didn't want to leave the shop! I want to extend my sincerest appreciation to Janelle for dedicating her time and expertise to Tino's care. I will undoubtedly return with Tino, as Janelle's professionalism, compassion, and exceptional grooming skills are unparalleled. Thank you for restoring my faith in dog groomers. Always support local small businesses. 5 stars hands down ?????”
“Our dog LOVES Go Play! We did puppy and basic obedience courses there and she goes weekly for daycare. When they open the door for her to come in our dog runs in and doesn’t look back! Go Play was also super helpful and supportive when we were going through behavioral issues with our dog. They’re so fantastic!”
“Amazing business, so glad I found them! Professional, easy to use for walks/check-ins/overnights. I don’t trust my dog with many people, and the team at Doggie Jogs has been phenomenal. I will continue to give them my business, 5 stars.”
“Jamie and her partner are The Best because they don't just groom their customers they Love ? them ? I've been going there for God I don't remember how long but I won't go anywhere else even for FREE yup ?”
“Congrats When I was in Mass. I always using them thank you to take care of my kid guys”
“Excellent service. Take your pets here for grooming. Very very reasonable prices. I took my Jasper here a tuxedo cat to get his claws clipped. They are very caring with the animals, super clean space.”
“I have a very cantankerous old man of a dog, and they did a great job grooming him. His coat looks great, and he has been wiggling his little grumpy butt since we left.”
“After an appointment mix-up elsewhere due to vaccination scheduling, I ended up bringing my dog to Dewberry Dog Spa — and I’m so glad I did.<br><br>From the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. The staff was welcoming, professional, and clearly care about the dogs they work with. They made everything simple and stress-free.<br><br>Most importantly, my dog Mello was completely relaxed the entire time. That says everything. He came home calm, happy, and smelling like a teddy bear 🧸. As a dog owner, knowing your dog feels safe and comfortable is priceless.<br><br>This was truly a great experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Dewberry Dog Spa!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the service at Milly’s Friends. It means so much to have found a place where Snoopy feels comfortable. Everyone was so friendly, and they did an outstanding job. I almost didn’t recognize him?✨?❤️!”
“They do a fantastic job every time with our pug Oskar. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere but ruff and ready ❤️❤️❤️ Jerry and Joanne.”
“Virginia took great care of my sometimes reactive Pekingese during grooming. The set up of the facility helps maintain the calmness of the dogs. It was refreshing to not hear the dogs (from daycare) barking. My dog seems to really like Virginia and he was not whining or scurrying out of the place like he usually would. I’m so glad I found her and will be using her services regularly! Thank you so much!!”
“Ashley was a fantastic walker for many years for our high energy Corgi. She was very reliable and always sent updates. Would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
