    I'm so glad that I gave The Pet Spa at Barkley Square a try! They make booking super easy with an online portal, the staff has always been so nice, you drop your pup off at your scheduled appointment time and they call you when he's ready to be picked up, and they do a great job! My handsome little dude has now been there for grooming twice, and I will definitely be continuing to take him. No more feeling like he's being traumatized, and I love that I can always add on some additional "s-paw" services if I feel like he needs a little extra pampering.

    Always a great job with my pups. Kind, caring and skilled groomers. Extra care with my old man . Recommend them highly!

    They are amazing! When I first moved to the area I called several dog groomers trying to find the right one for my rescue dog Lady (very timid and easily scared). The fact that they don't cage dogs before or after grooming is a huge plus for me. An added bonus is that they don't cage dry, and if they need to use a blow dryer they have the cutest dog ear covers! Lady is not scared of being groomed by them and is always happy with them, Lady is so comfortable that she now accepts treats from the groomers!(She does not even accept treats from my parents!) Princeton is a new addition to our family and he unfortunately has some patches on his skin that no longer grows hair. They did such an amazing job in grooming him, you can't even tell he has those patches. He looks like a lovely teddy bear now and rocking the bandana they put on him. Needles to say I love them! I just moved farther away but I continue making the drive. Can't find anyone else like them!

    I found Barkley Square through a Pet Photos with Santa event (which melted my heart!) and after seeing how kind the staff is and how well they work with dogs, I reached out to them when I lost my dog's quick and didn't want to hurt her when clipping her nails. I called mostly asking if it was possible to "fix" this, and I was blown away when I was told it was possible and they could see us the same day. Their recommendation would be to clip what was possible, then go behind and use a dremel on her nails. I was nervous and my dog was nervous because it was her first experience going to a pet salon, but the staff allowed me to go back with her to keep her calm while they groomed her. I was so happy with their service, I brought my other dog (a 100lb lab mix) the next day! They are located in Falls Church, and while there is parking surrounding the building, it is sometimes easier to park in front of Cherry Hill Park and walk across the street. It's completely apparent that the staff cares about the pets that come in and what they do. I plan to continue taking my dogs to The Pet Spa at Barkley Square, next time for more than just nail clipping!

    Every time I bring my Shiba Inu for a little "personal care," I am impressed by the care and attention given him. My little cinnamon roll had an anal gland "procedure" (his first!) and the Filthy Beast spa package. His breath is minty, his coat is shiny, and he smells like a fresh towel. The Halloween neckwear was a nice touch.

    Thanks for yet another beautiful groom! I love this grooming spot for many reasons. First, they give great cuts. Second, you have an appointment time and your dog is groomed right at that time. There is no sitting in a cage for hours. Third, they are so friendly and nice. Lastly, for our family, they offer a military discount.

    I took my puppy to the Pet Spa at Barkley Square for his first grooming visit and it was a wonderful experience. I appreciate that the owner and staff are all very nice and even took the time to answer the questions of a new dog owner. When I went back to pick up my puppy, he was happy, clean, and super fluffy. There was even an adorable bow! I'll be taking him back for another visit in the future.

    Happy Jack after a bath at Barkley.

    I've taken my dog here for several years and he loves it and I love what they do. Jack (my dog) practically drags me to their door once he realizes we're within a block. He's a Samoyed, so he has hair beyond belief and an undercoat in the winter that lets him go out in -10 degrees happily. Whether it's a bath or a brushout, he always comes out looking beautiful. And the blowout in the spring of his winter coat basically turns the entire back room white. He's now 6.5, but he's still a puppy in his head, so everything -- including baths, brushing, nails, etc. -- is playtime for him. That makes him fun to be with but a challenge to bathe. That's why I stopped after two years. Barkley does a great job and he absolutely loves being there. Kristina, Melissa, Brian and everyone there are also incredibly warm and welcoming even when they've got multiple dogs in the back and front and basic mayhem. I've recommended Barkley to others and they've all loved it, too. Oh, yeah, their prices are also very reasonable. I'd pay at least twice as much for a bath anywhere else because of the breed and the time involved.

    Bella sporting her new bow and peppermint bandana gifted by Barkley Square. Lovely experience!

    Our family has our first puppy, seven-month-old German Shepherd, Bella. We had to find a new groomer, and we were a little nervous about finding a good fit. My daughter, Sara, did extensive research to find just the right place. (Sara is only 11, but takes her Auntie duties to Bella quite seriously!) When I called to make the appointment, I spoke to Amber, the groomer. Amber was very sweet and patiently explained the process and what to expect for Bella's first time. Just from our first conversation over the phone, I had a good and peaceful feeling about this place. We felt great about dropping Bella off for her grooming, and we were over the moon with the results. Bella looked like a million bucks! And she was so relaxed and happy and really hit it off off with Amber. We could tell a special bond had been formed. Another staff member, Christine, greeted us with Amber at pickup and explained how Bella did and also gave us a goodie bag with a portable water bowl, a toy, treat, toothbrush -- it was like a stocking at Christmas! We definitely will be returning, and would recommend this as a wonderful place for your fur baby! A great big thanks to Amber for all your hard work and making us feel so special!

    One week after another fantastic cut!

    We've been going to Barkley Square for about three years now and have always had great experiences! When we first got our pup we tried out a chain store but didn't like how long it took for his groom, the fact that he had to be crated, and his cuts were never the best (sometimes patchy and most of the time he came out looking like a bobble head). Barkley was close to our apartment and after going to one of their Yappy Hour's at Mad Fox we fell in love with their staff and their process - no crating, quicker groom times, an all-inclusive price, and a custom style (finally no more bobble head!). Our pup also loved their homemade treats which was a bonus. He's come out looking like a stud (with a fantastic cut and a cute bowtie or bandana) at every appointment since and we couldn't be more grateful. He usually gets the Spa Red Carpet service and oftentimes we throw in ear plucking or dremel as well. He's not the easiest to groom (I give him touch-ups at home between his appointments so I know he's a handful) and he hates having his legs brushed, cut, or shaved so I'm always amazed at not only how great his legs and paws look but what a great mood he's in after a grooming! Thank you all so much for taking such great care of our baby!

Walks are 15-25 minutes each day with lots of interaction with the dog walker so these are happy pups! 2. I get tons of photos via text and email of their walks each day which are time stamped. 3. Dog walkers are extremely reliable and on time. 4. Easy online portal which allows you to make easy changes to the schedule and also provides a report card of how they handled their business and any pertinent information. 5. They always give the dogs water before and after their walk and a treat if you request they provide one of your treats. 6. Very responsive at all hours including weekends, especially when you have a last minute situation that comes up and need a dog walker. 7. Easy and accurate weekly billing. NEGATIVES: None. BONUS: Melissa also went the extra mile and corrected some of the bad behaviors that the dogs picked up from a previous, less competent dog walker. The dog walkers are dog lovers and you can tell that they love what they do. I highly recommend them for your fur babies - I promise you won't be disappointed!
