LITERALLY LOST MY DOG! 1 star is generous…read more This was my first, and absolute last experience with this "groomer." I dropped off my dog and was told she would be ready in a few hours. As promised, a few hours later, I got a call stating my dog was ready to be picked up. I arrived at the shop within 20 minutes only to find the front door locked, and no one answering the phone. After 10 minutes of waiting, she finally pulled up, with who I believe was her boyfriend, and informed me that my dog was missing! Apparently, her boyfriend took my dog for a walk, and she pulled out of her collar (which she has never done with me or anyone else), and took off running. She told me that she was just out looking for her, but couldn't find her, and that she had contacted that local police who were assisting in the search. But that she had been last seen in the vicinity of Park Ave. and E. Front St. Luckily, my story has a happy ending and after two hours of searching, my dog was found unharmed (just exhausted). However, she was over 1.5 miles from the "groomer" (near Brunner Elementary), and she had navigated numerous busy roads and intersections. I am extremely fortunate to still have my dog with me. Throughout the entire ordeal, the "groomer" appeared to be very unsympathetic, and just kind of an "oops" attitude. Bottom line: Completely incompetent individual and an unprofessional operation.

Pretty disappointed with this groomer. Had one grooming appointment that went okay - they charged a…read morematting fee though I said we could shave the dog down a bit more for the summer. I gave the benefit of the doubt, assuming they felt it wouldn't look good shaved (and that the dog was as matted as they said, as she looked similar to how she always looks when she's due for her haircut) The bigger annoyance is that I showed up for her 2nd appointment and was told it was never entered into the system. When I called to schedule it, they even commented on how her "regular" groomer was out but that they could put us with someone else that day. I guess after that back and forth, they just never entered it into their system, and now my dog is going to look like a rejected Muppet until I can find her an emergency cut at a new place. I'd be hopeful this was an isolated incident, but there was no accommodation made to try and fix the situation, so I won't be around as a customer to see if my experience would have been better in the future.

I see other reviews with the same complaints as me. That's sad. I was a loyal customer for YEARS…read morewith five little dogs and she was a wonderful groomer. In the midst of moving, we missed an appointment. A few months later, a chemo appointment went long, and we were late for another appointment. She then, in all her abrupt rudeness, told us she didn't want our business any more - after many years and thousands upon thousands of dollars. She lost a customer who never argued about price or tip. She didn't think, she just went with her mean knee-jerk reaction. She can be rude and impertinent. It's been a few years, but we'll never forget this scowling woman. With someone on the edge like she, I wouldn't leave a helpless animal with her. The only reason I'm posting this now is that I saw her in a store recently and it brought up the bad feelings. Maya Angelou once said, "...people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

If you want your dog groomed correctly, and expertly, then Pam is the lady to see (Pam's the…read moreowner-operator and groomer of In The Doghouse). My dog Sparkle, a Bichon, goes in looking like a tramp and comes out looking like a little princess. It's really tough to groom my little "Beagle wannabe" since she is often muddy and knotted from her playtime each day in the park. Appointments are important since In The Doghouse is a one woman operation. I would say to give Pam at least a week's lead time and at Holidays two to three weeks lead time will be necessary. Pam's worth it and there's no other groomer I would trust with my sweet little dog.

If you love your dog, take your fur baby to Jess. My husband and I agree that she takes good care…read moreof your doggo. Our 17-lb terrier mix, Rocket, was in need of a cut. His fur had gotten matted in a few areas but Jess took good care of him. She took the time to ask us how we wanted his hair cut after I told her about my experience at a pet store groomer. They shaved Rocket down too short and I didn't like how he looked. Jess took out her clippers and shaved a small section on Rocket to show us three different lengths. It's much easier to see it this way compared to a board of fake fur squares at the pet store. Jess was done with Rocket in an hour and twenty minutes so he didn't need to be trapped in a cage before or after while waiting his turn. Only one dog family at a time here means your dog gets the attention he or she needs! I will definitely bring Rocket back to Jess and recommend anyone who needs a groomer to take your fur baby here!

PSA - Avoid this place if you love your pet.....seriously…read more Wanted to submit this review earlier but we were trying to come out of this shock. I wish there was option of giving negative stars We booked appointment 1 month ago and on the same day she charged my card. On 22nd we went there.. dropped our exclusive adorable Maltese pup, as she won't allow us come inside we gave her our pup with it's bag on door itself. As mentioned on her website also she confirmed it would take 1.5hr approx but to our surprise she called back in 50 minutes saying dog is ready to be picked. On our arrival she came out and handed over pup in its carry bag saying all set. We took pup out in the car and were shocked as she has not given him bath, brushed teeth or clean ears.. His hairs were still coming off in my hands. Eyes were dirty and face had tear stains all over, as is, and face hairs not trimmed. The body hair cut were uneven. Some places the scalp is visible (see pics) . Now my pup looks are weird and we feel sorry to pick this groomer. It would take atleast 3-4 months to get back his hairs and looks. To be honest either she is unskilled or doesn't know how to handle the job and groom Maltese. On our morning walks people who had been praising him until we visited this place and now they are asking what happened to his silky white fur.. I would never ever take my boy there... Neither suggest anyone to do so even if the services are free.

Janet Calkins, aka the Pet Nanny, offers mobile grooming and pet-sitting services in the Middlesex…read moreCounty area. My family and I stumbled upon her when we found ourselves in need of a groomer for a difficult dog. My poodle Nutmeg was a behavioral horror at the vet's office and during grooming appointments-- so much so that a groomer we used prior to Janet refused our business! My ten-pound dog, so good-natured at home, required three vet techs to be weighed at the vet office! Janet proved to be a wonder, though. She invited us into her mobile grooming truck on her first visit to observe her grooming practices. From that first visit, she proved herself to be incredibly patient, empathetic, and most importantly, highly skilled in ways to manage animal behavior. After observing her interactions with my pet, I felt confident that she would ensure my dog was safe, calm, and well-groomed. As I write this review, Nutmeg has recently passed away. Upon learning of Nutmeg's passing, Janet drove out of her way to deliver flowers to my home. Clearly, she develops close connections with her clients and treats them like family! From beginning to end, working with Janet was a pleasure. I'll miss seeing her every few months for grooming appointments!
