Brought my little one here for the first time and we were very pleased with the experience! They really care about your pet here and it showed when my little one came out very happy. The only draw back is that they are a bit more pricey than most places but the attention and care they gave my fur baby is totally worth it. I love that you can see your pup on their IG stories! Amanda and Daniela were very friendly with my little one. They also have free small treats in the front desk and sell ice cream for your fur baby too! Very cute details! We will definitely be coming back here again! read more

I highly recommend this place, awesome customer service, friendly staff, clean location. They took really good care of our dog, we never seen it as beautiful before. They recommend us a summer haircut for our Yorky and it was spot on. read more

Anyone who knows me is very well aware that I'm admittedly obsessed with my shih tzu (and extremely picky about her grooming). So much so, that she's long been getting groomed in South Miami even though I live on Brickell Avenue. Those who know me also knows that I have an aversion to leaving the Brickell area unless it's absolutely necessary. I hate driving. But, driving to South Miami was well worth it because the groomer there was the only one that left my little Lychee exactly the way I wanted her to look. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I found out yesterday that our beloved groomer is no longer grooming. So, I was forced to scramble in an effort to find a viable alternative. I'm sure that anyone reading this would think our situation was no big deal since there are dog groomers on every other block in Miami, but the few times I've attempted to try other groomers I've been disappointed and poor little Lychee has turned up looking not-so-pretty...for lack of a better term. In my state of utter desperation, I of course turned to Yelp where I found that Barks & Tales Dog Spa had great reviews are was not too far from home. So, I called Barks & Tales Dog Spa yesterday afternoon and effortlessly made an appointment for Lychee with the Spa's owner who was very accommodating. We arranged that Lychee would be dropped off this morning between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Since my Mom was doing me the favor of dropping Lychee off, I sent a list of dos and don'ts to the groomer in an effort to give her an idea of what I wanted the cut to look like. To my pleasant surprise, I received a call from her a short while later asking for clarification regarding one of the points. A few hours after that, Lychee emerged from Barks & Tales Dog Spa with a smile on her furry face and a spring in her step. Lychee looks absolutely perfect and I couldn't be happier. As if that weren't enough, I got $5 off for being a new customer and Barks & Tales Dog Spa is cage FREE! Lychee is undoubtedly the Spa's newest loyal customer! This glowing review means a lot coming from a dog owner as picky as me, so if you're new in town or merely looking to try a new groomer, look no further! read more

Barks & Tales Dog Spa - Loving his new hair cut - Pet Sitting Near Me - Miami, Florida

Update: Still taking our babies to BNT. Still love it. Polo has been going for a few years now. He has been terrified of other groomers in the past, but not BNT! He never seems nervous when I leave him so I know they treat him well. He usually gets a yellow bow tie. They must like him in yellow ;) Our lab went for the first time to get her nails clipped and I heard she wasn't as well behaved as she usually is. It was her first experience, so I hope they forgive her. I have now been to Barks and Tails twice with my baby, Polo. We tried a couple of different pup salons in Miami and I am most satisfied w BnT. They always handle Po with such love and care. He always looks so handsome after his summertime shave. The prices are better than most groomers and I believe he is receiving better care than some places I have taken him. Great small business! read more

They did an amazing job with my 1 year old Siberian Husky. She was in the middle of blowing her coat and the shedding was crazy! They gave her a bath and de shedding as well. She seemed super happy when I picked her up so I know they treated her with love. Would definitely come again! read more

I left my dog for grooming services. Once I got back home; I realized she was bleeding and with this injury in her leg. They've should tell me what happened, accidents may happen but they did not say anything. They have realized about it because they left hair longer in the injured area. They tried to hide it. It can be a dog bite or the hair cutter anyways they've should tell me. Now she is on pain and sleeping all day and night. Unprofessional- NEGLECTED and Horrible Customer Service. read more

I've been going to barks and tales for about 2 years and my dog seems to be okay with it. At first he get all shaky but as soon as they hold him he stops and comes back happy to see me smelling SO GOOD. The smell lasts for at least a week. Idk how. The ladies are extremely sweet and helpful. I def recommend. read more

Louey loves this place! They always do the best job and he so happy when he walks in. They treat him like one of their own!

I have a cocker spaniel who cooonstantly needs to be groomed (if you know, you know). So much so that I have considered quitting my job and becoming his full-time groomer. Yes. It's that bad. So as expected, I have searched far and wide for a decent grooming spot that doesn't charge $100 for a simple bath and cut. Happy to say that today I found that spot. The employees here are extremely friendly, attentive, and understanding. You can tell that they love the dogs they work with and best of all, they know how to cut hair! I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup here. They even let some of the dogs who are friendly out around to play with each other on the grooming floor, as opposed to sticking them in cages. I asked for a complete shave-down for my cocker (summer heat in Miami is a real thing) and he came back to me as handsome and as cute as ever! Best of all I only paid $50, ($5 discount for first time customer). Extremely reasonable prices, great service, and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back and I'd recommend to anyone trying to find a good and responsible groomer. read more

My dog wasn't the same after coming home from here as her 3rd visit. Shes a 1 year old husky and she was very lethargic for days after her visit. I took her to the vet and they said she has hot spots all over her back up to her neck. Vet said this would be caused by one of the groomers not rinsing the product off enough causing her skin to dry up and blister. -$250 later, They gave her shots and meds to take home; her mood immediately got better. I am quite upset my dog was in such pain caused by a place i thought i trusted. read more

it has been the best experience that I've had with a pet gromming since we arrived in Miami. They made feel to my dog Peter that he was special, he never felt anxiety or nervous when I left him there. From the first moment the most important for the staff was make we felt that we are in a charming place. they done his hair exactly as I wanted. Really he looked so cute.! thanks, this was our first time of many! read more

I Took my french buldog for a bath and my puppy yorkie for a hair cut. The yorkie had the worse haircut i have ever seem. Bianca looked bad. I was upset but sometimes that can happens. But When I got upset was when I took Bianca and Chica the frenchie to the vet next day and he showed me how dirty the ears of both dogs were. I paid almost $100 for the service. I wrote them to their IG account and never got a reply. I wont come back to this place. The pic show how dirty the ears of the frenchie were after the bath. read more

After years of my dogs going to this establishment I thought I had found the place. TOTALLY WRONG! Spending thousands and never complaining when they forgot to clean the ears after a bath. Over charged and then questioned. Just a couple of friendly people on staff. I was way too nice, all so they could lie to me and kicked my baby out. Prejudice in breeds!! I guess they can't take dogs over 40lbs. Broke my heart today, I honestly cried. Probably for the best he keeps getting sick from going there anyway, they let them drink contaminated water. Not hip just cuz it's in Wynwood. Thank you Daniella I just wish you would have handled it better I was so truly saddened. All of this was the first I had ever heard. It took me totally by surprise and crushed me. I wish you all the best! read more

I just adopted my 50-lb Chow mix George from the Humane Society and he needed a bath. I'd already taken care of his nails and he was in good shape (no matting, no fleas/ticks, etc.), he was just a bit stinky. I requested a quote thru Yelp and Daniela replied that depending on his size and condition, it would start at $45. So I dropped him off the next morning at 9am and he was ready by 10:30/11:00. They did a good job and were very kind to him even though George was nervous and snapped at the groomer because he hates getting picked up. So I'm thankful they're understanding and know how to work with nervous dogs. Most importantly, he was soft and smelled clean, including his ears, all for $40! read more

This place is awesome! I took my little shih tzu, Mobley, here for the first time a few weeks ago and they did a really great job! My last groomer said they squeezed his anal glands whenever he came in, and he kept itching himself and I naturally freaked and took him to the vet and the vet said all he needed was his anal glands to be squeezed (stupid groomer). So I made sure that they did that at Barks and Tales. They cut his nails, brushed his teeth, gave him a perfect cut, and left him smelling as fresh as can be. May I also add that his fresh smell lasted a for a few days which was wonderful. I am obsessed with my little man and would only take him the best and this place was just that! I highly recommend it. PS I live in Brickell and I know there are other groomers that are closer but trust me this one is the best! read more

I can't recommend this place enough! We have been taking our maltipoo there for years - for both grooming and doggy daycare as needed. His reaction to our arrival each time says it all: as soon as I park, he's whining to get there and see everyone. He jumps and yips with joy saying hi to the team, who are as friendly as they are professional. You really get the sense that they are dog lovers themselves. Last year, we had a health scare with our pup and a team member was the first one to alert us that something was off. Thank goodness they did, because we were able to react early and prevent needless suffering. I'm so grateful for their reliable, quality service! I never have to wonder how our dog is being treated. read more

I recently moved from Miami Beach and needed to find a place to board my dog on short notice. Daniella was super helpful getting my paperwork in order from my vet and getting my dog in that afternoon. Boarding is far more affordable than anywhere on South Beach or Petsmart Pet Hotel. Best of all, she seems to connect with my dog. Usually my dog comes home stressed and sick from the boarder but she came home happy and healthy :) I also took my dog here for grooming and was pleased with the results. They were accommodating to my schedule. The prices are very reasonable. We'll definitely be back! read more

Hands down and without a doubt, the BEST dog groomer and boarding business in town. I've been coming to Daneila for many years to groom our pets and she does so with great care. We also have them board here when we go out of town. The staff knows what the hell they're doing and always greet me with a smile. And of course, they remember our dogs' names & habits. I recommend them to any & everyone. read more

The number one thing is - I feel so comfortable and confident leaving my dog here! I love Barks & Tales. They always do a great job grooming my dog. The staff is super friendly, they are efficient yet thorough for a great price. I have a lab mix and he gets his teeth brushed, ears cleaned, a bath, nails trimmed, anal glands, de-shedding treatment and lots of love- only for $55. And they never put him in a cage which my dog doesn't do. I love this place and that's why I'm a repeat customer and will continue to be. read more

Thank you for taking care of our dog so well while we were on vacation! My husband and I were worried about leaving our 4 month puppy for the first time, but we were relieved when we found Barks and Tales! They took such great care of our dog and she was even sad to leave! I really liked that they posted videos and pictures to their Instagram story so that we could see our dog while we were away. It's clear that they genuinely care about every dog and we love how they have them in an open space to play with the other dogs during the day. We will definitely be back! Thank you Barks and Tales :) read more

My dogs nails are dark and the last 2 groomers I went to made more than half his nails bleed. They were super gentle here and didn't cut my dog once! Will definitely be back read more

My dog is very anxious and easily over-stimulated. Even the vet has a hard time with her. They took a lot of extra time to keep her calm and make sure she doesn't get traumatized. She had a lot of matted hair because she has a thick undercoat and bites me whenever I try to groom her. I thought it would be more expensive but the price was very reasonable. You can tell that they really love dogs and that customer satisfaction is important to them. The owner took time to listen to me and even let me stay with her the entire time on our first visit, which made me feel at ease. I felt comfortable so I left her the 2nd time alone and she did great. They seem to be willing to go above and beyond for their customers. They are also very friendly and sweet. I usually take a long time researching services to make sure I get the best quality. I landed on them due to the positive reviews and location. Trust me, you should stop searching and just come here. There is a reason for all the positive reviews. read more

They did a good job with my sons nails and left wearing a handsome bow tie. They were more than accommodating with a late afternoon walk in.

Absolutely love bringing my pup here. First used them for their grooming services. They always do a great job and are super reasonably priced. I've since left her a few times for boarding. Love that they post daily videos and pics during their walks, and she always comes back super upbeat and social with other pups. Love them! read more

I have been a happy customer at Barks & Tales for just under 2 years, so this review is long overdue. My pup, Tucker, always looks & smells AMAZING after leaving! My favorite part about picking him up is seeing what new scarf or bow tie he is wearing. I can tell he's loved & cared for by the way the associates treat him when he walks through the door & after his grooming services. Daniela, the owner, is absolutely fantastic. She stops at nothing to make sure you're happy with your fur babies hair cut. If you're not happy or want it a little shorter, she will go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy. My husband and I are very picky with how our precious baby is cut, and Daniela has completely nailed his look. We've been to other establishments in the past, and this has truly been our favorite. Tucker is always happy when he leaves & is his normal self once we return home. This is how you truly know if an establishment takes care of your pup, and they don't display any odd behaviors once you get home. I couldn't be more happy with their services, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best treatment, quality & talent for their furbabies. They are very fairly priced, and their services are worth every penny. My husband and I are moving from Miami this week, and only wish we could take Barks & Tales with us. Thank you for making Tucker look FANTASTIC one last time. We are grateful, and wish you the best of luck! read more
