I've taken my dog here a few times over the years. I usually groom him at home and bring him here if I'm feeling lazy. They do a good job and my dog always comes back to me in a good mood when he's done here. I would say the pricing is fair for the area. There's a store inside of all different kinds of treats and foods. Make sure to look around while here. It's not a very big location but they have quite a big inventory. read more

We love bringing our babies here! If you want someone who specializes in Doodle Grooming - ask for Amanda! We brought both of our doodles in for a groom and she was the best and groomed both of our dogs so perfectly. Our newest family member Everett had never been groomed (noted by the rescue and vet) and Amanda was incredible with him!!!!! read more

I had been a loyal customer of this grooming place for a couple of years now since it's the closest one to my home. Scheduled an appointment here for my two furry dogs with a 3-4 hours block of time assigned to them. Prior to coming, I confirmed appointment via text, I informed them that I was on my way and running behind because one of my dog is acting up. I got to the salon in a hurry and the owner refused to take any of my dogs stating that since I'm late, ( even though they're aware I'm coming and didn't even informed me not to come) the groomer had already taken other clients that quick to get paid for that block of time that was initially intended for my pups. The owner even remarked that I should have taken my pups earlier for their grooming which I explained I had been trying, but their schedule is completely booked and the schedule I have was the earliest time they could give me. I don't normally write reviews, but I felt that my pups were treated unfairly and waiting more than a month to get groom and finally when it's their time to get pampered this salon made excuses to deny them services is really disappointing. Would be happy to take both of them to another grooming place that respects the time of the owner and would not discriminate my dogs just because their furry and need more time and work to cater to their needs. read more

I just moved to Florida and our dog needed a haircut badly. He is always very tense when meeting new people so we was worried and scared to to just go anywhere. I've been driving by this place for the past two months and I finally decided to make an appointment and I must say it was the best decision ever. Charlie saw ERICA for he's appointment and she was extremely friendly and patient with him as he wouldn't stop barking at her but she was so nice with him. They called me within 45 minutes that he was ready and I thought that was so fast and I was worried he did not get a good haircut. But boy was I WRONG this has been the best haircut Charlie has ever gotten I would recommend this place 1000 times. Everyone is friendly nice and professional. The place smells good not like some grooming places that smell gross and it's so clean. Prices are very reasonable as well! read more

See all

My mom has been bringing her two dogs here for over 5 years. I see why. I started bringing my fur son Chewie here as well. He loves it here. He always leaves looking GREAT! The last time I brought Chewie in, he was in pretty rough shape. No one made me feel guilty or bad. Instead the groomer made helpful and insightful recommendations for me to keep him up between grooms. See, I never had a dog that required professional grooming before. I had no idea what brush to use on my toy poodle. Ray was kind and non judgemental. I will continue to bring Chewie here and told my mom what an excellent experience I had. She brings her dogs to Amanda. read more

I have been multiple groomers before and I havent been as satisfied as when I go to Groom Grub & Belly Rub. My goldendoodle has anxiety and this place is perfect for him!

I'm driving 40mins just to give my pup the best grooming experience! read more

Groom Grub & Belly Rub - Pet Groomers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Erika is the best groomer ever!!! We have been coming to her for years and our pups love her. She is an amazing asset to this place :)

Love these wonderful people. They truly care about our 4 legged family member. We had used another groomer who had scared him, so to put him in the hands of another groomer was frightening. But after asking around and being told they knew how to groom a Doodle we put our trust out there. So happy we did, they asked the right questions and now our Doodle doesn't mind, quite so much, going to the groomer. So if you have a Doodle and need someone who knows how to deal with their disposition and coat they are it. read more

Love, love, love Groom Grub & Belly Rub! The staff are always so kind and informative and never fail to ask about my dog (by name) and how he's doing. You can tell that the shop has a cozy and friendly atmosphere. I lived outside of Avalon this past year and ever since moving back to the area, I've HAD to start shopping there again. read more

I AM VERY MAD!! This place is terrible! First of all it's so small so it's not good for social distancing. Second: I don't think the groomers are taking care of my dog correctly. My dog always come home scared and tired. And always when we even come near the building she whimpers and tries to go the other way. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE!!!! THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOG!!! THEY WILL BE SCARED!!! read more

I've never reviewed a place based solely on one experience with one person alone. But this is mostly going to be the lone case, because of the excellent staff member that makes this place so great.Disclaimer: I have not brought my dog yet for grooming here, rather this is a review based on shopping experience and pet care experience. Ricky (sp?) was phenomenal in her help with me and my wife as soon as we walked in. She was informative, polite, and positive and actually gave us a lot of sound advice with great answers to our questions. This has to be one of my top 3 experiences in a place of all time. She went OUT of her way to inform us, didn't pressure us to buy anything, and reassured us that the product we had already been using for our dog was vetted and safe. I will definitely come back here, and likely give their grooming services a try to boot. Strongly recommend this place. read more

I love taking my doggies here to see Erika. She does a great job, very patient, nice and always welcoming to me and my fur babies. I was pleasantly surprise that a full groom here with my doggies only takes 1 hour. I use to go to one of the big box grooming place and it can take up to 3 hours! The place smells nice too, that's a plus. read more

I now understand why all my friends and neighbors keep taking their furry kids to this place for grooming!! They did a great job on my 7 months old Shih tzu pup, they are super polite, friendly and professional!! They make sure all the pets come in have their up-to-date shots records, and they treated the pets with lots of care & love !! Super easy to communicate on what I wanted and I got more than I expected!! read more

Great service and personalized attention for that furry friend in your life and they carry all the accouterments a four-legged fan could ask for! Friendly, flexible staff and the grooming/bathing was done extremely well. Would definitely go back. read more

If we could put 0 stars, we would! Overpriced groom shop, had an awful experience, for both me and my dog. We went in last week for a simple nail trimming, and asked a few questions that they had no clue what the answers were. One of which, I asked if they clipped or dremeled the nails. After she asked the groomer (a question you would think they would ALREADY know), she said they did both. Then they took my dog to the back room to do his nails. One disturbing feature of this groomer is that it is behind closed doors, where pictures, flyers, and paintings block your view. At first, I was trusting, up to the point when I heard my dog yelp, at a pinch I've only heard once before in the year we've had him. Alarmed, I stood on my tip toes to watch the rest of the procedure. I noticed her YANKING my dog's legs, in a forceful manner. At one point, she pulled his right hind leg from the opposite side of his body, creating an uncomfortable position for my dog just because she was too lazy to walk around the table. Worst part, the end result were massacred nails that were not dremeled. Just happy to get my dog outta there, I will NEVER go back! read more

Groom Grub & Belly Rub - The end result of a horrible experience. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Absolutely disgusting!!! I have a beautiful dog that is a border collie mix which has beautiful feathering on her tail, ears and legs. We booked for a full groom but explained that we wanted to keep her feathering but just wanted it trimmed and shaped. What we got back was a disgrace she was fully shaved from top to bottom. I can only describe it as you going to your favorite hair salon and instead getting a marine corp barber . I will never go back to this place and frankly will make sure I fully spread this terrible work in the community. read more

I've been a customer of GGBR since they were founded. I go here to purchase dog food, doggy chew toys and general dog supplies. The staff is always friendly. The products are always neatly organized. The inside is clean. The location is great. Need anything pet related and you're nearby? Give Groom, Grub and Belly Rub a shot. read more

We love love love groom grub and belly rub. We've taken our cocker spaniel golden retriever and now mini Australian Shepherd to Amanda. They don't crate during the grooming which is a must for us. Not only that everyone is extremely helpful when it comes to our dogs nutritional needs and even lend a hand out to the car. We only feed our dogs regional red and Stella and chewy which they always have here. read more

Have a small 9lbs poodle was charged $55 for a mini groom that typically takes them about an hour in the past. Took 2 and a half hours with an appointment. Which was changed from 10am to noon without notice. When appointment was confirmed they said they have been screwing up a lot lately. When expressing dissatisfaction with the length of his facial hair and was told that was not part of a mini groom even though doing it was specifically mentioned when dropping my dog off. read more

Outstanding owners and staff at Groom, Grub! Would never think of buying dog food or having our doodle groomed anywhere else.

I've been a customer of Groom Grub & Belly Rub for a few years now. My dog Duke needs a dog sitter if I travel for work or go back home to California. Sam, who unfortunately is no longer with GGBR, was fantastic with Duke. The people who work here are all TRUE animal lovers and take great pride in their work. Sam would always send me picture texts of Duke so I would know he was doing great. The price is reasonable, but does add up. Still cheaper than leaving your dog at an actual boarding kennel. If you live in the Avalon Park area, I highly recommend GGRB for your dog sitting needs. read more

i'm not sure who's going to miss this place more when i move back to gainesville, me or my dog? groom grub & belly rub is beyond words fabulous. when i first moved to the avalon park area i was worried i wouldn't be able to find a dependable dog walker - but then i found nim. i went into GGB on a sunday and didn't think i'd be able to set up dog walking/visits for the very next day, but i let the cashier know i needed someone asap, and as soon as i got home i received a call from nim. he came over 20 min. later for an initial evaluation, and then the next day for my dog's first visit. nim, and as far as i know the entire GGB dog sitting staff, is conveniently available via text message. i've been able to same-day adjust the time of my sitting visit as well as send someone over on a day i hadn't originally scheduled. read more

Love this place! Great customer service! I have both of my dog groomed here every two months. I purchase their dog food here, and I have used their pet training classes as well. Would highly recommend this business! read more

Drove from Winter Park to get a specific Product by Maura. The customer service was stellar. Greeted upon entering, offer to help find product and enthusiastically answered questions. Grooming area looked nice. Quality food products and nicely and neatly merchandised. There are lots of boutique pet shops but this one run by someone who seriously cares about high quality food and treat offerings but also gets that customer service is equally necessary. Nice experience! read more

Wonderful experience for our first time, the front desk receptionist Julia was very welcoming and warm. They took my little puppy on a walk in basis for a nail grooming and I'm very happy with our service we received. We have now found our go to place an East Orlando. read more

This was my first time going here and could not be happier. My dog is usually afraid and anxious when I take him to get groomed, but when I picked him up from here he was happily playing with another dog in the back. His haircut looks amazing and they made sure to be careful with his crippled leg and made sure he was comfortable throughout the grooming process! Definitely the best grooming experience my pup has had. (: read more

Timely, friendly, knowledgeable, quality grooming service. My dog has been nervous and stressed when I pick her up after a grooming elsewhere, so I've been looking for an alternative. Today when I picked up my dog from her first appointment at Groom Grub and Belly Rub she was happy, calm and beautiful. We'll be back! Thanks Amanda - you did a great job :) read more

I recently moved to the area and had been looking for a place to get my dog groomed. I was recommended to try Groom Grub & Belly Rub, and I am grateful I did. The staff was very attentive and nice. They did a really good job on my dog and I really liked the fact that they are cage free! read more

I made an appointment for grooming. I got a phone call during middle of my work day asking me to either 1) bring my dog in early because there's an earlier spot opened up and the groomer didn't want to hang around with nothing to do until my scheduled appointment time; or 2) reschedule for a different day. You know I have a job too, I never tell my client to come in a few hour early because I didn't feel like hanging around. read more

My dogs always come home super cute! They take their time and truly care

Just had a wonderful experience with the groomers and staff at Groom Grub & Belly Rub. We brought our Border-Collie mix there for the first time last night. He was way overdue for a groom, because we'd had a bad experience with a mobile grooming service. We decided to try Groom Grub & Belly Rub because they are small, and close to our home in Eastwood, and literally a few doors down from Yoga East where we practice yoga. In short, they were great. Our Norris came out looking fantastic! The groomer did an excellent job giving him a nice short summer 'do without shaving him down or making him look like a sheared sheep. He smells wonderful, and came prancing out of the back room relaxed and happy, not glassy-eyed and panting like he has at other places. The did a top-notch job removing his dense undercoat, and his coat is shiny and glossy. Another plus, the woman working the front of the store, probably the manager, was great, kind, caring and obviously a dog lover. When we arrived a tiny bit before he was ready, I could hear her talking to Norris telling him what a good boy he was and petting his head. The groomer was a delight too, I definitely will be back when he needs another groom, and recommend this place to anyone wanting a great place for dog grooming. By the way, they have neat supplies, leashes, leads, treats, toys and food for sale, too! read more
