I just recently moved to Aurora. I took my Shih Tzu in for a haircut. Tabitha made our appointment and did the grooming. She did a great job. The salon is clean, quiet, is easily accessible (on Butterfield, west of Kirk/Farnsworth), plenty of off street parking. The groom was $55,that is the most I have ever paid (her groom 2 months earlier was $45). But as long as they do a great job and my dog is safe and happy, I can live with that. One tip:don't use Google maps to get there. It took me out of the way through a residential area and wasted time. They are in a strip mall at the intersection of Mitchell and Butterfield (southwest corner) next to a pizza place. Heading west on Butterfield from Kirk/Farnsworth it will be on your left.

My dog Mabel is new to Poochie Dog Spa and Jenny did a great job of making her feel comfortable and happy. She did exactly what I had asked and her cut turned out amazing! The staff is super friendly and welcoming and will answer any questions you have. We'll be coming back for sure!

I LOVE this groomer and the fact that they have a 1/2 door where the dogs are getting groomed. It's always open when I go and the dogs are always treated with LOVE and CARE! Jamie, the owner is always super friendly and sweet. She makes me feel good about leaving my precious dogs in her care. They do an fabulous job on both of my dogs. My 10 year old Golden Retriever Rosie, used to get really nervous when getting groomed but now she gets excited when she sees Jenny her groomer. Jenny, is SO good with her and always does an A+ job on her. Tabatha, also does an amazing job on my Cavashon Tucker, and is very sweet. I love this groomer and won't go anywhere else.

The BEST dog spa around!! My dog is a big baby (he's a 90 LB Chessie) and he gets very nervous going to the groomer, so I decided I would try a new place. I picked Poochie based on the positive Yelp reviews. Wow!! This is the place for your fur baby!! Very friendly and super clean spa. Tabitha was our groomer. Otis took an immediate liking to her and she bonded with Otis just as quickly. When I picked him up he looked so handsome and very happy. The best grooming I have experienced within a 50 mile radius. The real test would be when I brought him back. So 3 months later I brought Otis back and he jumped right out of the car, went straight to the front door and went inside like he owned the place. He has never done this going to the groomer. I had to drag him out of the car with prior groomers. Lesson learned - listen to your pet, they know! read more

Our first visit was amazing with my husky. The next 2 were horrible. The second time, my dog was still shedding so much hair and scared for the next week and had a cut on his foot. This third time, my dog is still scared, has been licking his 1 paw repeatedly and his harness was practically choking him and had to be cut off because it was so tight and we couldn't maneuver it to get it off of him. Instead of getting better each time I take him, it's getting worse. read more

So glad that I found this place. I had driven by and seen a dog spa sign up but didn't think much more. Upon visiting our previous grooming location our old groomer had left and the new groom was average so I thought I would try Poochie Love out this time around. I was happy to discover our old groomer Jamie, who we really liked, had opened this location herself this past summer. Jenny who groomed our Wheaton Terrier was really nice and did an excellent job. Our always nervous pooch was in a great mood when we I picked her up. Our pooch had a cute little valentine's bandana for the holiday too. Pricing is comparable to other locations in the area and I'm happy this is located just down the street from us. The inside is cute and clean and I will definitely be back! read more

All she did was text back, a day later, "confirmed, cancelled" WOW. I mean, I've been tipping her and paying her $130 for grooming Sammy a total of 4-5 years, tipping her $20-30 each time, and that's the response. I guess every dog and owner is no one to her.

They are now threatening legal action. I stand by my posts and have not made any false statements. TO THE OWNERS RESPONSE. Don't be sad about my review--be disappointed in yourselves as business owners. Do better. Everything written in your response directly contradicts what I was told in person. You stated that multiple attempts were made to contact me regarding this incident. That is false. No one contacted me at any point. Management only became aware of the issue after I reached out. You also claim my dog was properly cleaned and reference video footage. If such footage exists, please share it--you have my email. His condition upon pickup clearly indicated otherwise, as I spent 45 minutes cleaning feces from his paws once we got home. There is also no reasonable way this could have been "missed." My dog was wearing a large winter jacket that required staff to handle and touch all four of his paws in order to put it on. Staff were taking an extended amount of time before bringing him out, and another employee stepped in to assist with getting him ready. Given that level of handling, it is not credible that feces covering his paws went unnoticed by anyone who was paying attention. Regarding the padding, two staff members explicitly stated it was part of his care due to concerns about him falling as a senior dog. That representation was a key factor in my decision to purchase the Pawdemics service. Lastly, I appreciate the advice suggesting veterinary boarding. However, that recommendation could have been communicated during intake, during follow-up calls, or after I paid for an evaluation. At no point was this raised as a concern. You had no issue accepting my dog despite him being partially blind, deaf, and showing signs of dementia--until after something went wrong. Your response continues to contradict what was communicated to me in person. Again, if you have additional information or footage, please provide it via email. I am absolutely disgusted with this facility and my experience here. I was convinced to place my dog, Tito, in their "Pawdemics" service after being told he would receive constant surveillance and that it would be best for him as a senior dog. I was also promised a padded room for his comfort and safety. None of this was true. The room they described to me is apparently under construction, and instead my dog was kept in a cage with no padding anywhere on site. When I picked him up today, his paws were filled with chunks of feces. I was told he had an accident and that staff had cleaned him up -- clearly, that did not happen. I spent 45 minutes cleaning him myself once we got home. I don't understand how something like this could be "missed." When I raised my concerns, the general manager repeatedly stated that they have other dogs and cannot watch him consistently. If that's the case, why am I paying extra for a service that was sold to me as individualized, specialized care tailored to my senior dog? The explanation directly contradicts how this service was marketed. I asked to speak with someone above the general manager and was told there is no one -- that the owner does not interact with clients. That response alone speaks volumes. This was a complete misrepresentation of services and a very upsetting experience for both me and my dog. I would strongly caution anyone considering this place, especially if you are trusting them with a senior or special-needs pet.

Within just a handful of times of using the daycare service at DePAW (after 4+ years using a…read moredifferent doggy day care, weekly, without incident), our dog got bit and injured by another dog while under the care of DePAW, a bite that tore her ear, damaged tissue and wound up requiring her to be sedated and given stitches. When they called us to tell us about the incident, DePAW told us that another dog had 'overcorrected' ours, when she tried to play with a dog that didn't want to play with her. A professional dog daycare service needs to have the experience and knowledge to separate dogs before this happens - most often bites happen with uncomfortable dogs, not aggressive ones. It's clear that the other dog was uncomfortable in the situation they had the dogs in, and our dog got the worst of it. We feel this was a preventable accident and likely a result of either staff not recognizing the energies of the dogs under their care, or them taking on more dogs than they can handle at one time. A dog who is uncomfortable enough to seriously bite and injure another dog should not be in the same room as a playful dog who wants to initiate play with others. Perhaps even more disappointing on a personal level was the conduct of DePAW in the aftermath, and how transactional and impersonal our interactions with them have felt. When calling us to tell us what happened they never apologized for our dog getting hurt there (I am sure this is a liability thing they are trained to do) and they did not follow up afterwards to see how our dog was doing. We only heard from them after we sent an email expressing disappointment a week later - we did hear an apology then, to their credit. I'm sure we've signed a waiver giving away all of our rights in terms of compensation and vet bills, so we didn't even try to ask DePAW for help with the hundreds of dollars of medical bills we have incurred due to this incident, but they didn't even waive the $35 daycare charge for the day she got hurt. I guess a dollar is a dollar. I don't think I've ever taken the time to write a negative Yelp review when we've had a bad experience, particularly with local businesses, but given this experience I don't feel like DePAW is necessarily a safe or caring place to leave your dog and so for that reason I feel that people should hear our experience. Again, we've taken both our dogs to a different doggy day care for 4+ years on a weekly basis and always felt they were safe and well taken care of by people who were attentive and cared for the wellbeing of our pups. That's not at all how I've felt interacting with DePAW - it feels very much like they care about your dollars, not your dogs. I can't speak to their other services, and I'm sure there are people working here who truly love dogs, but I'd strongly recommend you look elsewhere for safer, more caring and less transactional daycare options.

The best dog groomer around!!! For 15 years, I followed Jamie to whatever grooming facility was lucky enough to have her. So happy she has her own adorable pet friendly place now! My Shorty, RIP, would get so excited whenever I'd say, "Are you ready to go see Jamie now?" He loved her and always enjoyed his spa days! He always walked out so proud (or maybe that was me LOL,) he was looking good! Excellent groomer! Trusworthy character! Highly recommend! read more

Jenny is great my two girls look fabulous after she grooms them . She takes such good care of them as if they were her own. I get many compliments on both of them. I have been going to Poochie Love since they opened. I have seen the dogs that the others groomers there also do and they all look great. They all take great care of all the dog that come through the door. Would not want to go anywhere else. read more

There is a groomer 2 minutes from my house, but I drive the extra miles because of two great things about this place. Jamie somehow made my dog look cuter and more girly. The first time I brought her I jokingly said "I want her to look like a girl," and she actually delivered! More importantly, Jamie is the sweetest person ever. Her love for dogs is genuine. Very kind and trustworthy read more

So glad to drive by this doggy salon. Jamie previously groomed my dog Honey and she always did a great job. I have been to other area salons and have been disappointed with their cleanliness and poor attitudes. When I pick up my Brussels Griffon she's happy, looks great and smells wonderful. read more

Excellent groomer. Jamie is so nice and my two dogs love her! They also come back smelling so good. The "poochie love" name is very appropriate because Jamie is a dog person! Weekends book up quickly though. read more

I came in to the dog groomers at. 9:30. I was scheduled for 9am but I thought it was a general…read moredrop off time because I could see dogs lined up for grooming: I was also called the last two times at 3pm when I dropped them off in the morning. So my guess is that they leave the dogs for a couples hours and take them when they are ready. It took me two months to get the appointment. It was my third appointment. I tip well it. Costs me close to 200 with both dogs including tip . Not to mention they don't like being Dropped off there. Jill the manager kicked me and my dogs out because we were late. When I complained Jill offered to call every dog groomer in town to complain about me so I would not be able to get into another dog groomer. What? I admit I was extremely upset because my dogs look terrible and need grooming at least every two months. It was very upsetting to me that I might have to wait another month for a dog groomer they cannot go without grooming. I showed late due to a misunderstanding. I live half the time in Chicago and I can say I have never been treated in this way. Typically 9 am would be a general drop off and they line up the dogs for the groomers. Which I understand. Jill did not even offer me another day . Snd said it's like a vet office you must show up on time. Yes agree with being on time for a vet because they don't line them up to be washed. I called the establishment back and asked to talk with the owner. Jill answered and said she was the owner. I cannot believe that she is the owner. She doubled down on her rudeness. She called insulting names. I cannot believe an owner of an establishment would act the way she did. Took the day off from work and got my dogs into Pawsatively. What a great group! My dogs look perfect that's to Pawatively at 1550'N Wells. If groomers aren't nice to the owners I can't what goes on with innocent dogs when the owners aren't around.

Most importantly my dogs (and myself) are always happy to see Jill, Courtney and Noelle and vice versa. I know they are always in good hands and come out looking amazing and smell great.

They also offer mobile grooming services. I requested pricing and an appointment via their website and Jade assisted with providing the information and scheduling. I was able to get an appointment within less than a week. Pricing is on the higher side compared to other places I've gone to, however, my fur baby was fresh and smelled sooo good once I picked her up. I was expecting this appointment to take about 4-5 hours due to the experience I had at other places. I am very glad this wasn't the case! Within 2 hours my fur baby was ready to come home. I'm very happy with the outcome and am looking forward to many more spa days from here. Tip - if you are a first time costumer make sure to look at their brochure. There is $10 off promo for new customers. This was not vocalized to me so I'm happy that I looked through it and found it myself.

Second, my bernedoodle had knots on his legs. I got as many as I could out at home but his legs retained some. They would not work with me on this. I Gave me 2 options; Shave to the skin all over; or face and fanny only. They would not shave down the legs and groom the rest of the body, even thought I requested that. I though I was paying for what WE wanted? Obviously we took the face and fanny. $85!!!!!!!!!!!! and no groom - I nearly keeled over. I was hoping this would be our new loving place. I hope you have better luck. WE will not try again.
