Well, hello everyone! Thinking about taking your dog to day care? Don't take it here! We never got to walk around to see how the place was. They never asked us too. Took our golden retriever there for a trial visit. There were no water bowls..she was so dehydrated after four hours. There was nobody to tell us how she did. Every dog seemed to want to get the he'll out of there when we came to get her. So explore your options carefully. After all, a dog is supposed to be your best freind! read more

My partner and I bring our high-energy Golden Labs to Paws & Effect several times a week. It's the perfect outlet for our dogs' boundless energy, giving us the peace of mind--and some much-needed quiet--at home. Jesse and Shelby work in the daycare section and their personal touch makes all the difference. Jesse is confident and stylish, and brightens our mornings more than our first cup of coffee. When we pick up our dogs, Shelby keeps us informed about our boys' adventures and behavior during their stay, and sends us cute videos of their silly antics. Vanessa, who works in the office, makes scheduling a breeze. She is knowledgeable, professional and enjoys doing her job. These staff members consistently go the extra mile by engaging with us and getting to know our dogs. The owner, Jason, is always present and even though he is busy, he takes the time to talk and greet us. It's clear why the staff at Paws & Effect is so happy. Each visit is a delightful experience for our furry friends, and we've become regular advocates, recommending Paws & Effect to all of our fellow dog parents! read more

My recent visit with Lacey was traumatizing :-( She must've been having a real bad day cuz she butchered my dog! I knew my pups ears were puffy and they called to tell me they'd have to be shaved down, it's literally to her skin all around the edges to the point it looks painful and all sorts of areas that were not trimmed off like weird little sprigs all over. Worst grooming I've ever had ever! I am going to try a new gal next visit who was highly recommended...stay tuned read more

We took my Daughter's Cavapoo for a grooming, her first one ever. Our experience was excellent. The groomer Lacy was very patient and helpful. Paws and Effect went above and beyond to give her a beautiful cut. I asked for bows and they put cute Halloween ones in! My Grandchildren loved how cute she looked. The price was very reasonable and included her nails trimmed and ears cleaned. I was impressed with the cleanliness and organized the staff are. This location is conveniently located and lots of parking. We are thrilled with the service and plan on returning in the future. Hope to try out the day care too! read more

This is the only place I'll ever take my dogs for grooming! They say a dogs tail never lies and my dogs walk into the groomer each time with tails wagging in the confidence that they are going to be treated well. It is very apparent that everyone who works here has a passion for animals that goes beyond a paycheck. If you have a pet then you probably only want to go to the best - and I believe that Paws and Effect is exactly that! read more

Amazing place for boarding and daycare!! I have a 4 month old mini goldendoodle and had to leave the poor buddy when he was super young for boarding for a few days. I felt so badly doing that but the staff at paws and effect made us feel very comfortable and when I saw them interact with my puppy, you can tell how much they truly enjoy animals. My puppy pretty much had an extended vacation- based on videos that the staff sent us throughout his stay there, he looked so happy and was well taken care of. The pricing is reasonable and they follow any instructions you provide in terms of feeding, play time etc. My mind is at ease to know that if I ever need to leave town for a few days that my puppy will be well taken care of at Paws and Effect! read more

I probably should have been concerned when I was denied a tour of the facilities. When I dropped my dog off he was in good health. When I picked him up he had a respiratory problem. I was never called or notified of the problem. I only learned if it when I called to check on his welfare. Took my pet to the vets today to learn that he has contracted Kennel Cough. Now I have a veterinarian bill plus a prescription. I am sure they are good groomers and day care center. Long term boarding, I probably would not return. read more

Paws & Effect had become my go to for cat grooming until his last cut looked like a rushed butchered job and he was shaking and terrified when I came to pick him up. I have not returned since and will never recommend this groomer ever again to anyone. I feel that the new building changed the groomer I came to know. Such a shame and a HUGE disappointment. read more

Best dog groomer period. I have a toy poodle that is a very problematic dog. For years it was trouble getting it groomed and we always had issues with the dog coming back home in pain because the groomer restrained him in ways that were hurting him. Many times groomers would not groom around the face and eyes because my dog might get bitey. Upon picking my dog from groomers, my dog always looked scared and very distressed. Paws & Effect is the first place that was able to groom my dog very nicely. Upon picking up the dog, the dog not only was not in any pain or discomfort, but he seemed genuinely happy, something I never saw with my dog. I cannot recommend their grooming service enough. I could not be happier with a groomer. read more

Get your dog groomed here if you want to give them kennel cough! They have very little to no practice with checking up on vaccinations for dogs to see if they are up to date on their vaccines. We loved taking our dog here until he got consistently sick. Called to see what their protocols to check on yearly vaccinations and they don't have one! Absolutely ridiculous when something like that is so important and helps the health of their clients. read more

Would no longer recommend. Not sure why the quality of grooming went downhill so much, but I do not trust my pet's needs to be fulfilled here anymore. Really bums me out. read more

I've been taking my labradoodle, Ripley, to Jason and his team for years now. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else! I've recommend them to others in my family and we are all happy customers They treat Ripley so well every time I drop him off and and I know that he is in the best care! From the grooming to the people to the festive bandana they put on Rip when he leaves, Paws n Effect is a 1st Class run shop and I HIGHLY recommended! read more

gave my puppy grooming only around his face and charged me full amount. grooming is not very good either. This organization was wonderful when in Rocky River, but grooming is not as good and manager is not helpful. I sadly am seeking grooming elsewhere. read more

Y'all are the Best! My babies look the best they ever have, and came back home so calm and happy! Thank You so much! Looking forward to seeing all of you aka, our "new family" in about 6-8 wks for the pups next cuts! Missy Mintz & The Mintz Muttz Carmen , Cozmo , Georgie read more

I am always happy to book a service like boarding for my dog with this local business. The staff are very friendly and easy to work with each time! My dog also attends day care often, which I cannot recommend enough! In the past my dog attended a few day cares where sometimes play was not in a group or there was not an outside option. Paws & Effect have all of that and more! They make it easy to drop off with no appointment needed! They give my dog great attention and for a small dog, he plays with the whole pack and comes back relaxed!! One time, we had an at home small injury and the next day they noticed the mark on my dog's ear and called me up to make sure it was not from the day care play. It gave me great confidence to know they are watching our and want the best for my dog!! read more

This place is a great place for grooming. The staff is wonderful and the owner Jason is great. Place is clean and very budget friendly. I recommend everyone to come here. read more

The very best day care service, grooming and boarding facility ever. My dogs love this place. The staff and the owner are fantastic and treat my dogs like their own. The facility is immaculate. My dogs play with all types of different size dogs which enables them to better socialize outside of daycare. They have great hours and are very accommodating. Can't say enough great things about this place! read more

We just took our 2 dogs there last week and will not be returning. We had been taking them for 6 years, starting when they were at the Rocky River Location and they were much better. The last 3 times I have taken my dogs there they forgot to call us when they were ready, and this last time my poor dogs were there for 5 hours! They put me on hold when I called to ask when they would be ready, so after 10 minutes of that I drove there. When I arrived there were 4 people just sitting behind the desk. They apologized for not calling and said someone called in sick. This was 3 hours into the appointment!! When I picked up the dogs. I could tell they did a rush job and the haircuts were not good. It seems they lack the staff and capacity to take the number of appointments that they do. They did not even apologize for keeping my dogs for 5 hours!!! I felt terrible for my dogs! So I will not be back. I don't want to put them through that again. read more

I boarded two dogs over 5 days and was very disappointed. First, I was not permitted to see the boarding area because it "would upset the dogs". Second, and most importantly, both of my dogs developed horrible coughs after boarding. I have 3 other dogs, and the infection affected them as well. After 3 weeks, we are still dealing with upper respiratory symptoms. read more

Jason and staff are great. We recently took our new rescue, Hercules, who's coat was in rough shape. The Paws & Effect team were caring with our new boy and managed to turn a matted coat into a suuuuper cute little hair cut! I'm glad to have found my go to groomer after bouncing around Cleveland! read more

Paws & Effect - Hercules and his new Paws & Effect hair cut! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

We have been taking our dogs to Paws & Effect for 6 years now. This past Wednesday they had a 10 am appointment. Shampoo, cut and nails trimmed. We had heard from them by 1:00. My wife was out running errands and called for the status. Was on hold for 10 minutes so she decided to stop and see what the issue was. People were sitting behind the desk. My wife asked about the dogs. They said that they were short staff and it would be more time. Finally got a call at 2:38 that the dogs were completed. No apologies. They did a terrible job. Nails weren't trimmed. We just got out of there. First if they had issues they should have called us to let us know. I don't like that they sat is gages for 3 hours before getting groomed. From time we dropped them off and time they were completed was 4 and half hours. Totally unacceptable. I have noticed service has dropped off. Additionally, they are friendly like they use to be. Think it might be time to find another groomer. New place just opened right down the street from them. Going to see how there service is. read more

Great location and very busy place. My dogs cut could of been nearer, but I was happy with the overall results

Thank you Jason! This is my go-to place for my Lucy. Jason and his staff always know exactly how to groom my yorkie, and let me tell you, I'm not easy to please. I love how you don't have to wait forever to get an appointment, IDK why but good groomers are in high demand. Some (who will remain unnamed) schedule 6 months in advance...WTF. Paws and Effect get Lucy in the same week, which is extremely convenient for me. The services are affordable, which is a huge plus. I pay $40 for a full groom for my small yorkie. (I've paid upwards $60-70 at other places.) They truly care about my dog, which makes me feel comfortable with leaving her with them. I don't have to worry about mistreatment or anything like that. If you need a good groomer - go to Paws and Effect, you will not be disappointed! Jason and his staff will treat you and your fur-baby with the care they deserve. read more

I have been taking both of my dogs to Jason for a few years now. Once I even had a very lengthy off the cuff conversation about religion, family, the world and everything with him out of the blue. He is so nice and really takes good care of my dogs for me, as well as makes them smell amazing! They are both older and it is really important to me that they are in good hands. His prices are very fair and he always has flexible hours for me to drop them off. After searching for a great groomer I was extremely happy to come across Jason and his team at Paws and Effect. read more

I cannot say enough about this AMAZING place. The staff treats my dogs (owners too!!) like family. I used to worry when leaving my dog at other groomers but I am never worried here. They do anything and everything to accommodate you. After loving my grooming experiences, my dogs started going to daycare. They leave exhausted after a day of fun! The dogs cry and run to the door whenever I say "want to go to school?". Also, Jussie is the best- we love him. Highly recommend to anyone with a dog read more

I love this doggie day care and groomer! Jason and his staff are wonderful and attentive to our two fur kids, most notably Jesse. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who cherishes their pets. read more

Great service for a great price. Took my three month old puppy for his first grooming and was very impressed! Definitely will be going back

A big "bark" goes out to Christine at Paws & Effect for doing a great job grooming my Maltese Comet. Christine was super patient with my full-of-personality Comet who was a handful to trim and groom. Comet was named after one of Santa's reindeer but he's definitely on the naughty list when it comes to staying calm for grooming. He needs a lot of TLC for his bath and cut. You were able to trim his nails too. Thank you Christine for doing an awesome job with Comet. I have already recommended you to my neighbor Kelly who just got her first dog; she will call you soon. read more

I have been taking my dog to the daycare and grooming for over 2 years. The owner and staff are all so welcoming and friendly. They go above and beyond to ensure that my dog is comfortable and that I am happy with the grooming results. The staff is so knowledgeable and they all do such a great job, especially the lady at the front desk. She's the best!! I would recommend this place to anyone who asks. read more

I can't be more happy with Paws and effect and with Jason. Also happy to get me and my dachshund in. Prices are very reasonable . Jason lets me know if it will be longer and it sometimes can be this is a busy groomer!! It does help because I can run errands etc and know my dog is safe! There are so many groomers in this Rocky River area and I'm glad to say I won't go anywhere else!!! read more

I will never take my dogs anywhere else. I have a Cavachon (half bichon and half king Charles) and a Shih Tzu, both can be quite a mess of hair, and I always get them back looking great! read more

If you need a good groomer go to PAWS AND EFFECT. Jason and his staff are awesome! It took time for me to find a good groomer and now that I found Paws and Effect I'm never leaving. Everyone is very nice and knowledgeable. They always put cute handkerchiefs on my doggie and she smells so wonderful when I pick her up. The other great thing about Paws and Effect is that they're reasonably priced. I highly recommend this groomer. LOVE THEM read more

I first brought my cat here to be groomed (long hair and tons of knots) they did a fantastic job getting all the knots out and cleaning him up. I brought my dog here last month and again fantastic job! They trimmed him up and he is now ready to go for the summer months and looks ADORABLE! read more

We love Paws and Effects. Our little princess is so happy with her nails and hair done. They treat us so well and make sure our girl is taken care of. Thank you. read more

Jason and his staff have been grooming my Hoshi for years. They always do a fabulous job and their customer service is exemplary! Best groomer in Cleveland, hands down! read more

I brought my dog to Jason for regular groomings. I was always happy with the cut and his prices were reasonable. However, I noticed that shortly after groomings, my dog would develop ear infections, which reoccured every time he was groomed. Then one day, my dog began acting lethergic and leaking stinky, gooey blood from his anus the next day. I took him to the vet who diagnosed him with infected anal glands. I had just had him groomed no more than a week prior so I called Jason to ask if he recalled expressing him. Jason replied no- that expressing was extra and I had to request it. Are you kidding me?!? If you're not going to include a standard grooming procedure in your fee, you should disclose that to your customers! I've brought my dogs to three other groomers over the years and all of them included expressing in their fees. Looks like Jason doesn't do the "dirty work." read more

Went there and my dog with little hair cut and his nails weren't done well had to bring him back and he was terrified. Not a good sign.

I have been taking my dogs to Paws & Effect for a few years and my son takes his dog there as well. We simply love this place. Jason really cares about his clients and the rest of the staff is friendly and very accommodating. When making an appointment I usually can get an appointment within a week of calling and sometimes the same week. The prices are very reasonable and a lot less then some of the other area groomers which makes this place all the more attractive and keeps me coming back. They own a Doggie Day care next door which is convenient if you are working and need to drop off your dog in the morning prior to work and then have them groomed and pick them up after work. The dogs in the day care have a large area to run around and always look very happy to be there. I can not say enough good things about this business. Do not hesitate to trust them with your precious fur-babies. They really do care about their customers. read more

The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They do a great job with old, curmudgeonly pug/ bulldog mix. I highly recommend Paws and Effect! read more

My dog has anxiety every time she goes to the groomer and it breaks my heart when I see her sad puppy eyes. Having just moved to Cleveland it was difficult for me to choose a new groomer for her. Paws and Effects was recommended to me by a relative and the employee who took my appointment immediately put me at ease! They listened carefully to what I wanted for Annabelle (my dog) and even recommended a new vet for me! She will continue to go here because I feel comfortable leaving her in their care. They are more affordable than your chain pet store. Only negative for me is it took longer than I expected. read more
