Molly has regular grooming appointments as well as nail trims in between. We also get our other dogs nails trimmed occasionally. Dogs are still handled one at a time and never crated. Needless to say, we are big fans. Gaby loves all the dogs and making them beautiful. We are so happy to have found such a great groomer for our babies. Thank you Gaby!!

We have an anxious dog that is scared of new people, loud noises, other dogs, and even her own shadow. Based on our dog's anxieties, I really wanted a groomer who only took 1 dog at a time and is very gentle and sweet, but also very skilled. That is 100% Gaby. My dog, Evie, may never know how good she has it to have an amazing groomer like Gaby, but I sure know.

Sarah was extremely patient and took incredible care of my dog - and at the same time took care of me by sending me updates and photos while on vacation - putting me at ease. Somehow she and Patrick are able to manage multiple dogs and cater to each dog's personality and unique needs. I don't worry about my dog when I leave her in Sarah's care - whether it's a short 2 day trip or over a week. My dog is also a finicky eater - has never had an issue at Sarah's. I've dropped her off and receive a text from Sarah that dinner is completed - before I even reach home. She knows what she's doing. She loves my dog - which is priceless.

Sarah and Patrick work together to take care of the pups and ensure that they have the best time. We love our pup, Biscuit, and felt nervous about having someone watch her that we weren't familiar with. Sarah came as a recommendation from a friend and we couldn't have been more grateful for the connection. It's been a few years already, but Biscuit had her first meet and greet with Sarah before we started daycare and boarding. Sarah spoke with us and answered any questions we had and also gave Biscuit time to warm up to her home. We then started doing daycare days to acclimate Biscuit before doing overnight boarding. Sarah and Patrick never leave the dogs unsupervised which means that an adult is always watching them so you never have to worry about your pup being alone (especially the pups that have separation anxiety). Biscuit has an amazing time romping around with the other pups, which is a huge plus for us since it gives her time to play and socialize since she doesn't have any dog siblings herself. She also is a professional snuggle bug and Sarah and Patrick lean into all those cuddles granting her all the love. It's safe to say Biscuit is one spoiled pup when she's over there. Sarah is also great at sending updates and photos when you do overnight boarding, and she's always very communicative if you have any questions or concerns. She treats all dogs as if they're her own and she will follow through on any instructions you give her. Specific feeding time? No problem. Medication? She's got you. No sleeping in the bed so it's consistent with your house rules? She will respect and follow through. Sarah and Patrick want to make sure you as the pawrents feel safe and worry free so they are so kind and thoughtful in their care. Patrick is also a dog groomer and he's fantastic. You can have them watch your dog and get a groom while they are there! Patrick is great about hearing what you're wanting from the groom and does an amazing job. Biscuit came out squeaky clean and so fresh with her light trim. We trust Sarah and Patrick so much and always feel at peace when Biscuit is there. We couldn't send Biscuit anywhere else!

He's done such a good job that we passed all three scents in our very first ORT! All this combined has allowed Sydney and I to bond and have more fun together.

Low and behold, when my hubby and I came home from getting married we were informed by our neighbor that MY DOG WAS OUTSIDE trying to get back in the house. We also found out that Vanessa had invited her boyfriend into our home without asking. I was mortified and thinking what could have been like my dog, my baby could have been hit by a car and KILLED.. she had no explanation except it was because she didn't feel comfortable in my home even though I had asked her this in our first discussion and there was a problem with my location. Then she blamed my dog getting out because she is a German Shepherd. What must have happened is that she and her boy toy were NOT paying attention and my dog thought it was playtime getting into a car as she is a home girl. This being said after the bull, I don't even know if my dog was fed or cared for and it makes me sick to my stomach. Also, as a new customer I was expecting a phone call letting me know she was here and I HAD TO CALL HER..this is not okay and I will NEVER hire someone that is not totally honest with full disclosure again. All I asked was that my baby was safe and in the house when I got home.. But no: DID NOT HAPPEN..i give her and her service a big fat ICK..At minimum she should have given me at least one nights refund but oh no..NOTHING. If you love your dog/pet.
