If you care about your dog, please read this…read more I rarely write reviews, but after what my dog went through at this facility, I feel obligated to warn others. I usually leave my dog with family, but they weren't available. I found this place through online research and ignored the red flags -- something I deeply regret. After a short trial weekend, my dog came home with a cut on his nose. They brushed it off and blamed him. Foolishly, I gave them a second chance for a longer stay. When I picked him up, he had a deep wound on his nose, a chipped tooth, and was visibly traumatized. He wasn't the same dog -- withdrawn, scared, and exhausted. When I contacted the owner, she avoided responsibility and offered no real explanation. After pushing for answers, she sent a photo of the small cage he had been kept in -- nothing like what I was told. She even tried to shift the blame onto my dog again. This place was neglectful and unprofessional, and I strongly considered pursuing further action. I would never bring my dog here again. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Your dog deserves better.

Second time I asked Tamar if she noticed anything that could have caused him to limp. She got very defensive and gave non helping random replies. Needless to say she didn't care a bit. I ended up spending lot of time and money at vet. Anyways, I stopped sending him there and found better alternatives.

Brought my Newfoundland here in November. They did a fine job on her. Not as good of a job as our…read moreregular groomer, and my dog was returned to me slightly damp, but Happy Doggy is a few blocks down the street from us so it was convenient and I thought I'd give them a try. One thing I noticed and didn't like was that when I went to pick her up, the groomer let my dog walk from the (I assume) kennel area at the back of the building, all the way to the front of the building, past other dogs on grooming tables, without my dog being on her leash. And then when the groomer and my dog got to the double gate that separates the grooming area from the front of the store, the groomer left my dog - now unattended *and* without a leash - at gate while the groomer walked to the back of the store, and then came back. They could have opened the first of the double gates to contain her, or put her on her leash (ideally *before* walking past all the other dogs) and then handed the leash to me. But no, they just left her unattended with no leash in an area with other dogs, on the other side of the double gates away from me. My dog is sweet and usually fine but is not 100% reliably good with small dogs (and with any dog - there's no guarantee that all dogs will get along with all other dogs at all times; That's why we leash and supervise them.), and I was nervous because there was a small dog on the grooming table next to her while she was unattended. This is a safety issue. My dog ignored that dog and nothing happened, but it was woefully negligent of the groomer. And like I said above, she was retuned to me slightly damp. Not a huge deal for her, not ideal, but meh. Cost was $155 before tip. My dog's previous full groom (with a different grooming business) had been the prior August, and she had had a full brush-out (no bath) in June, 5 months before I brought her to Happy Doggy. I recently brought my dog back for a scheduled groom at Happy Doggy in March. I received a text two days before her appointment saying they did not have my dog's rabies vaccine on file. That was weird, because they should have had it on file from her groom in November. When we arrived they said they had found it, but still, it seemed like they were disorganized with their vaccine records. I had scheduled for the same groom as we had done in November. It wasn't until I and my dog were physically in the store and checked in, that one of the groomers came up to us and told us that because it had been over six months since my dog's previous groom (It hadn't been over 6 months, it had been 4), that it would be "at least $400-500" for this groom. Imo a price discrepancy like that needs to be noted at the time of schedule. I'm sure they saw on my face that that wasn't what I expected. They asked if I needed to reschedule, and I decided to reschedule with the intention to later cancel, frankly to avoid any cancelation fees, because a business that jumps their groom price from $155 to $400-500+ in 4 months, seems like the kind of place that would slap a cancelation fee on a client who needs to cancel same-day because if their ridiculous price jump. The non-transparent pricing alone is reason enough for us to never come back. Letting my dog walk from the back to front of the store off leash and then leaving her unattended, already had me questioning this business anyway, so it's probably for the best that we go back to our previous groomer or seek other options, anyway.

Hands down! YANG IS THE BEST GROOMER IN TOWN! My little 13lb Bischon Poodle is tiny but his bites…read morearen't! He hates being groomed. He's been sent home so many times by other groomers, we've lost count. However, Yang is THE dog whisperer! Not only did he not get sent home without getting groomed, but he did not snap at Yang! We were shocked & thought it was a fluke. We continued to bring him to Yang and each time he comes home looking amazing! We've been taking him to Yang since 2023, before he opened his own shop. One day, we tried to schedule an appointment with him at the pet shop Yang was working at but they said he left. We were devastated! I tried grooming him myself and let's just say, thank goodness it was winter so, he needed a jacket when he left the house to play with his friends at the park. Haha... Luckily, Yang's groomer buddy reached out to us with Yang's info regarding his new Happy Doggy grooming shop. I was ecstatic! I literally dropped everything I was doing and called him immediately. His schedule was pretty booked but was able to get us in within a week. When I went to pick him up today, of course, Yang never disappoints, my lil Mochi looked perfect! Again, Yang is an amazing groomer! If I can give him 10 stars. I would! We've referred all our friends to him. You should definitely bring your fur babies to him, too!

But, then I had a better idea and started looking for pet sitters for the day. We found several listed on yelp. Mark was one of our first calls. He was responsive and available. He met us at breakfast briefly to say hello and tell us his plan for the day with Titan and make sure that we all felt comfortable. Titan hit it off with Mark immediately. This is the first time we had ever left Titan with a stranger and we weren't sure how Titan would react. As we pulled away titan didn't even watch us leave as he and Mark were already off to a great start. Mark sent us text pics of their adventure together throughout the day & night and that really made us happy! Mark kept Titan with him and a couple other cute doggies all day and then delivered him to our vacation rental just before we got home. We were cracking up when we found a report card Mark left for Titan with a big red A+ at the top and notes of what they did and how many time he pooped! Lol! To sum it up Mark offers great service, quality care and is very compassionate. We highly recommend Mark.

The real review that matters is how my pups behaved when I got home. Normally when I go to the boarders, they are clearly stressed when they are brought from their kennels. The superstore chain is the worst. They bark and whine like they've been stuck there for years. Under Brittany's care, it was nothing but licks and tail wags!
