Suzy has been our dog walker/dog boarder for a number of years. We first hired her because we have…read moretwo large dogs that were difficult to walk. On the first day she took the time to show us how to walk our dogs, and the difference was like night and day. Suzy also walks our dogs (we're now at three) on a daily basis, and no matter the weather, she shows up. We also board our dogs with her and it's reassuring to know that while we're away, our dogs are happy and safe. Our dogs absolutely love Suzy and our family is so grateful for her help. I highly recommend this service.

With two dogs, and a dog walker who is about to move in two weeks, I was desperately in search of a…read morenew walker. I needed someone trustworthy, reliable, and capable of dealing with my very active dogs (a hound and a Siberian Husky cross). I was referred to Leading Ladies by another dog walker. Within a couple of hours of our initial phone call, Kala, the owner of Leading Ladies, arrived at our home for an intake visit (to determine if our dogs, our needs and her situation would be a good fit). Friendly and personable, Kala impressed my husband and I with her experience, understanding of dogs, and clear business practices. Most importantly, the dogs (who can sometimes be a bit shy with strangers) warmed up to her immediately, without hesitation. My hound even lay down and relaxed right beside her. I am impressed with Kala's vibe, experience, professionalism, and love of animals. The dogs will go for a test run with Kala and her crew of Leading Ladies in a few days. I will update this review after that experience, but I am hopeful and confident that this will work out well for all concerned. Leading Ladies gets 5 Woofs from our dogs, and 5 stars from me.

DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE. It's taken me over a year to…read morewrite this review, but I feel a responsibility to warn others. My first visit to this groomer with my dog seemed fine--she came home happy from a basic de-shedding appointment. But within 24 hours, everything changed. What should have been a routine grooming led to a nightmare: my dog developed post-grooming furunculosis, a severe bacterial infection that entered through her hair follicles and began eating away the skin on her back. Despite aggressive treatment and over $18,000 in vet bills, I had to say goodbye to my best friend just two days ago. This wasn't just bad luck--it was preventable. I reached out to the groomer multiple times to ask what products were used so my vet could understand what happened. I was ignored. The lack of accountability and transparency has been infuriating and heartbreaking. The trauma, pain, and grief my dog, myself, and my family have endured over the past year are beyond words. I feel robbed of the years we still should have had together. She was 65 lbs healthy and only 38 lbs by the end. The stress and pain she went through here sparked the end of it all. She came back confused, stressed... not wanting to eat, walk, play, or do anything. Please don't risk your pet's life. What happened to us started with one simple appointment. And it ended with unimaginable loss.

If I could give this groomers a 0 star I would. The worst groomers I have ever taken my dog to. I…read moreasked for a sanitary trim and the groomer completely shaved my dogs bum and now it's very irritated. This is not how you do a sanitary trim. I also asked for a face trim and it looks like a child cut it, his whole face is now uneven. The staff here do not care about your pets or their clients. Very unprofessional and inexperienced staff. It's not safe to bring your pets here. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
