Mindi has groomed my standard poodle for almost 9 years. Her prices are reasonable and she does a great job. My dog always looks beautiful when I pick him up. She's very patient and she clearly loves dogs. I'm basing that on my dog's reaction, because he clearly adores Mindi! read more

I will be a repeat customer! My grand-poodle is having her summer vacation here with me, and I took her for a full groom and cut. Mindi was available by text message, and had an opening first thing Saturday morning. GREAT HINT: Saturday mornings you can park right near her shop! PradaFifi was ready to pick up right on time, she looked great and the cut she got is super-close to the pictures I showed Mindi. I felt really comfortable leaving her there for her groom and will be back in a couple of weeks. read more

Well reading the other reviews tracks with my experience. No response whatsoever to my text request for an appointment. I should have read the reviews instead of just looking at the rating. I find *zero* response completely rude but sadly what's becoming typical for customer service these days. If you want to waste your time, try this business. read more

I've been going to Mindi for years and find she is just the best I've ever found. She has a calming way about her and the dogs know that. She is always kind and gentle with the pups especially those that are afraid. I have a new golden/labradoodle who was nervous and she was great with him. You can't go wrong with Mindi!! read more

I'm sad to leave a one star, mostly because I've never actually been. I've called twice, left messages...now the mail box is full so you cant leave anymore...I am just so confused. When you do actually call the number it says good citizen dog grooming. So who's Mindi? Is she owned by them? (Bcuz I will not go anywhere near goodcitizen dog anything). I'd just like an answer, or be able to get a hold of the business to ask questions...any communications at this point would be welcomed. In this day and age when there are so many choices why would you choose to practice bad business? Frustrating. read more

I texted Mindi on March 13th for an appointment on March 19th. I have received no response back as of March 20th. I understand if she is one person running a business it is probably hard to keep up with calls/texts. However, I saw that 7 months ago people were having this issue, and it's really frustrating to know the problem has not been resolved. I do not care if I had to make an appointment further out, that's totally fine! But as a small business owner myself, making sure to respond to clients is extremely important and not doing so in a timely manner is a really easy and quick way to turn off potential customers and lose current ones. It's even more disappointing in that she seemed awesome to work with and she is one of the only groomers in the area within our budget as an extremely low-income family. read more

Mindi does such a great job with my Cairn Terrier/Mini Poodle mix! I've probably taken my dog in 5-6 times now, and her haircut always looks consistent (Mindi got it right the first time and now when I come in it's just "the usual") and it takes about an hour. Mindi is usually booked a week or two out, so I do have to plan ahead and make my appointment at the first sign of shagginess. Well worth the quality grooming. **updating this review because of how terrible Mindi's communication has become. She never answers the phone, her voicemail box is full, and I'd text her multiple times asking about her next availability, only for her eventual response to be vague, like "I'm booked through April." Okay... not helpful. Seems uninterested in booking an appointment. She seriously does a good job at grooming but I'm moving on because of the communication issue. Hopefully she can work out an online scheduling system or hire another employee or something to help ease the congestion. read more

Have not seen Mindi in a couple years. Took my English Setter to her for grooming and she remembered us and exactly how we wanted him groomed. Yes, is she hard to get a hold of but the end results are always worth it. read more

Parking was crazy to find, but that's my fault cause I don't really know the area..once I was able to get myself where I needed to be..I walked in and was greeted immediately by Mindi and the other doggies she assured me my Princess would be ok, went over what she was going to do and there went my Princess (my anti social..don't like people mommy dog) into Mindi's arms..i am so happy, so pleased and so excited that I set up another appt for my Sassy girl read more

Mindi is great with our little pup. She does incredible work at a very fair price. Making an appointment is very worth while.

I have been taking my dog to Mindi for over a year now and have always been super pleased with the results. My for baby is not always excited to go get his grooming done but he always looks smells wonderful and Mindi is polite and professional read more

Mindi loves our dogs... almost as much as we do! She takes great care in grooming them!

She was great with Lola so we took Rico for his first grooming. She said he did great and he didn't seem stressed. We love Mindi for our babies. read more

Super hard to get a hold of. She doesn't pick up the phone or reply to text messages.

Took my Bernese Mountain Dog here for the first time today. Mindi is a friendly, confident professional and I felt at ease to leave my "baby" with her. She listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and treated my dog with warm respect. After an hour or so, I came back to a beautifully groomed dog. Her prices are affordable, the location is easy to access and close by. We have found our new groomer. Thank you, Mindi! read more

I am a crazy dog parent. My dog is my whole world. I was very pleased that Mindi was able to fit me in at the last minute for ears, nails and glands. I was weary to schedule a full appointment because other places quoted my dog's service at $85. He is a short haired English Lab that is currently shedding. He is also kinda fat, which puts him at 85lbs. I guess these factors go into pricing. Mindi's pricing for my dog to get everything done was only $35! Since I only got the three things done she only charged me $18. I liked her, my dog was very comfortable with her. I just had a really great experience and I am glad that she is here in the Stadium District. We really needed her. Even if she has to hike up the pricing I will stay with her. Proximity to my home and the customer service are very important to me. read more

Mindi does a great job grooming my two Havanese pups. Their cuts tend to last a lot longer than my previous groomer. My dogs seem happy to see her and I love that she's not overbooked. They are the only dogs there when they are getting groomed so it is not the hectic environment of typical groomers. I'm so happy we found her and they look perfect and smell wonderful when I pick them up! read more

Wow, Mindi does a fantastic job! You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she is grooming. I explained to her that one of my pups; Mr. bitters has had a bad experience with a groomer in the past so he gets really shaky and nervous with grooming. After two hours on both my pups she called to tell me they were both done and that Mr. Bitters had no issues what-so-ever and was well behaved! I arrived to see two perfectly groomed pups, the best they have ever looked! I just wish I had known about her beforehand. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a caring, professional dog groomer to look no further and make an appointment with her! Also, her prices are very reasonable! I am recommending her to my friends and famiy! Thanks Mindi! read more

My dog has never gone to the groomers as we groomed him ourselves. We found Mindi through Yelp, and decided to give her a try. She was amazing! And not to mention quick! She had me back to her shop within like 50 minutes. He looked so cute and still does after two weeks! We will be back!!! read more

I just rescued a Shih Tzu and she wasn't looking very good. I could not believe the difference when I picked her up! read more

Mindi did a wonderful job grooming my Bernese mountain dog about a month ago. She is quick, reasonably priced, and very sweet. I will continue bringing my dog to her. read more

Love bringing my dog to Mindi, she is very nice and flexible and she does a wonderful job. I was so pleasantly surprised by how affordable her prices were too! I love going to a smaller groomer, where there aren't too many dogs in the environment. I also love that I can just send Mindi a text and we can coordinate a grooming without me having to call during business hours. Keep it up Mindi! read more

Impossible to get ahold of. Doesn't return texts or phone messages. Can't speak to the quality of her grooming, because I can't get an appt. Will take my dog somewhere with better customer service. read more

Mindi is phenomenal with animals. She will follow your instructions and is very receptive to all different animal personalities. Lucy loves her. She is a welcome addition ! Prices are so much more reasonable than what you will find in this area. read more

I can't recommend Mindi enough. I called midweek & although she is very busy, she was able to get an appointment for me by the weekend. She took time to understand my dog's needs & exactly what I wanted. Service was quick & professional. Look forward to bringing my dog here again & thankful I was able to find a great groomers that I can continue to go to. read more

I was calling around trying to get my pup in for a groom and Mindi was able to get her in today. Mindi was fantastic! My pooch is a rescue, so she can be a little skittish around new people. Mindi just sat on the ground with her for a bit until she was comfortable and then asked how she prefers to be picked up before whisking her away for her bath. I popped over to the daycare side of things to ask questions about classes and chat with Josh about day care. I was thoroughly impressed with Josh. He introduced me to all the dogs (by using their names) and started talking to me about all of them. He talked to me about daycare and now I'm totally excited to bring my little girl back to socialize with other pups. The prices are phenomenal, both for grooming and daycare, and the people seem to REALLY care about the dogs. I will DEFINITELY become a regular. read more

We are very happy with Mindi she is great, my dog looks great! We will be going back for sure

Mindi is great! My standard poodle goes for grooming every 4-6 weeks. Since the first time he went to see Mindi he's been comfortable with her. She always does a good job. Prices are very reasonable. read more
