Pet Groomers in Alexandria

“I recently moved to the DMV area and was desperately searching for a cat groomer. My goal was to find an exclusive cat-only grooming place, and I’m so glad I found Happy Cat Hotel & Spa. Everything exceeded my expectations, from the ease of booking to the space itself (so clean and low-stress for my cats), the groomers, and the pricing. It’s 100/100. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for reasonably priced yet amazing service.​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“As someone who prefers to bathe my own dog, I love that they make it easy and welcoming! The staff are super friendly, and they have everything set up—from bathing to drying stations. I also love their points system—after a few visits, you can even earn a free bath! Plus, they accept walk-ins, which is a lifesaver. Highly recommend!“

“My dog Lilac loves going to the vet. In fact she has taken me there on walks. During Lilac's last yearly check up she didn't realize that she got two shots and had blood drawn. The doctors also find practical solutions if a problem arises. For example they suggested Zyrtec for her allergies instead of pushing something expensive.“

“We had a serious miscommunication regarding the spaying procedure of my puppy but I was impressed and appreciative of their professionalism in handling this situation to my satisfaction. I think we all learned something from it.“

“Our Standard Poodle looks fabulous after his grooming. Gia is an excellent groomer and kind person.“

“If I could give more stars, I absolutely would! I called around 6:10 PM, knowing they closed at 7, and asked if they could possibly squeeze my cat in for a nail trim and ear cleaning. They kindly said yes, and when I arrived, they took him in right away and had everything done within 10 minutes.

What really stood out to me was how gentle and patient they were with him. As a cat mom, I know how sensitive and shy cats can be, especially in unfamiliar environments. Usually, grooming appointments are very stressful for him, but this experience was completely different.

I could hear how softly and calmly she handled him, and afterward I was honestly amazed. Instead of being shaken up and hiding, he actually seemed more relaxed, confident, and brave. Seeing him content afterward meant so much to me.

Thank you for treating my cat with such genuine care and kindness. We will definitely be coming back!“

“We were able to board our pup of 4 years in very short notice. We could not be more grateful for Hometown to have availability for her to stay for almost a week. They were very accommodating, and had a schedule laid out to take care of her and take her on walks.
They were understanding of her nervousness, especially separation anxiety. When I called to check in on her, they responded with patience. They were supportive and honest on how she was doing.
It’s clear that she was well taken care of and treated with care during her stay!“

“I have gone to For Pets Sake for all my dogs grooming needs for over 14 years. They are wonderful. They care about their furry customers. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.“

“By far the best customer service. I really appreciate the time they take to accommodate.“

“I cannot express enough how much I recommend Frolick!!! I initially was just going to the open gym in the evenings to practice agility and basic commands with my Bernedoodle , where I had met initially Kevin and Kim (the owners). Kevin is SUCH a wealth of knowledge about dogs and had given me initial tips to build on what my girl already knew, but the more we talked, I knew the day board and train would be the best option. IN COMES JUSTIN!! He has the Kevin touch as well. Everything looks effortless. He also was beyond patient with me ( I think I was harder to train than my dog tbh, but you’ll have to ask him). Now, I swear my girl loves Justin more than me (they really should love their trainers that much!), she loves “going to school” (which is what we call Frolick)- to the point she starts Panting when we get close by on Duke street.
The perfect mix of corrections and positive reinforcement, training the things I needed the most and was having the hardest time being consistent with (place, heel, recalls) and dealing with reactivity! GOD SENDS. If I have a question or concern,I don’t feel dumb asking or coming to Frolick to ask or practice. EVERYONE has noticed how much more relaxed both my pup and myself are now- that’s confidence from Justin. Frolick is truly a family and I wish I would have found them even sooner. I will be eternally grateful!!“
