An amazing place filled with amazing people and pups! Poochies has been nothing but the best for our pups. The staff is beyond friendly and eager to assist in all of our needs. Our oldest, Peyton, has a history of just okay grooming visits. These experiences made grooming something of angst for our P girl. Since we started going to Poochies, Peyton's grooming demeanor has completely done a 360. Peyton genuinely enjoys her visits to Poochies and thrives in the safe space that the staff fosters there. We appreciate everyone, especially Savannah, for caring for our Peyton as if she were their own. Our youngest, Maggie, had her grooming/nail clipping debut here at Poochies and - wow - what an exceptional experience. Everyone was patient, kind, attentive, and so helpful in getting our Maggs comfortable with the grooming process. I would recommend Poochies to anyone in the North Shore! It is unmatched in our experience :) read more

My dog is in the process of being socialized, and still scared of and reactive to other dogs. So I had a long talk over the phone with the owner about whether she could schedule him at a time when no other dogs were present. She agreed and suggested an 8:45 am appointment. I made the appointment approx. six weeks in advance. When we arrived, at least five dogs were in the tiny room, in various stages of getting groomed. Imagine my dismay: the opposite of what I'd been led to believe. Of course, we turned around and left: only misery for all concerned would have ensued, had my dog stayed. All that the owner needed to say was, sorry, we can't accommodate a reactive dog. She could and *should* have said that weeks ago. What a waste of time! As my husband used to say--he had a successful career in sales-- if you don't have what the client wants, tell them where they can get it. Don't try to sell them something else. That serves no one. The only reason this review isn't a 1 is that our scheduler groomer, Savannah, was absolutely lovely, kind and understanding. What an awkward situation for her to be placed in! And she dealt with it beautifully. I've been driving an hour to Webster to get my dog groomed by Grooming by Alicia. She's terrific and understands my dog's special needs. And I'm happy to pay extra for that. It looks like I'll be going back to doing that drive. read more

Over priced for the quality of grooming, my dogs are short haired and we're not dried properly and their appointments were rushed to fit in a "regular" client. Very unprofessional on top of rude. read more

I had an unfortunate fall and was rushed by ambulance to the emergency room. I called having to cancel Katie's appointment because of the fall. It's not like we plan we visit they come up unexpectedly. I call explaining the fall and was informed because I'd previous cancellation owner expected money before the grooming appointment. There are many other groomers out there and I found the owner was not understanding and it's not like I planned this ambulance ride to the hospital. No star read more

my dog got groomed on Monday. The day after I noticed that he was cut a little too close to his skin. when I asked if there was something I could do, Never got a response. second text her response was that she clipped him as I always do. No closer than usual. He must be getting sensitive as he gets older. The skin gets thinner. Have you been keeping it clean and dry? I had to take him yesterday to the vet to be checked. The vet's response was he has a hot spot that is infected due to being cut too close to the skin!! She never admits to make a mistake and take responsibility for hurting my dog! read more

I have been taking my dogs and my dads dog to Poochies for years. I have always had a pleasant experience at Poochies, the shop is clean and the employees are great. My pomeranian tends to get stressed out very easily and they put her her at ease during her grooming. I wouldn''t think of going anywhere else. Thank you Liz, Kourtney and Cynthia For treating my fur babies as if they were your own. read more

My mom has come here for years for her two Shih Poos and always tells me how much she loves Courtney, I had recently gotten a goldendoodle puppy and Courtney seriously did amazing!! I'm also really happy they don't use crates! My dog, Ellie hates being crated at home and I really didn't feel comfortable bringing her somewhere where they leave her in a crate, but here they leave them out to see what's going on, on a leash! I picked her up today and I guess she even made friends and played with the retriever next to her! It's good to pick her up and see her so comfortable that' she was in a soundless sleep! They had to wake her up to put her leash on! read more

Best groomer I have been to in years. They actually brush out matted hair/fur. Other places I have been to shave the pet down. Prices are much more reasonable than any other place I have brought my pups to. Very happy we found this place. read more

I've been probably like twice to this place. I've taken my two little yorkies to get fully groomed. Ears, toes, bath, tail, nail and teeth. Love how they both came out! Unfortunately they do get fully booked weeks to months ahead. So something to keep in mind when booking. Parking is real easy, they are super nice ladies. Price range is very affordable especially for all that they do. read more

I love love this place, it was recommended by a friend. Nobody could trim/cut my dogs nails! The only way we could do it was as the vet and have her sedated and it was a fortune $100.00, plus the mail trim!! I came to Poochies and met Kourtney, she said I can do it, I said ok challenge is on...low and behold she was able to do it, my dog has caught on to Kourtney's little tricks, but we give her some transform prescribed by the vet, and poor Kourtney and her co-worker today got scratched up a little by Sophia! Kourtney and Staff at Poochies you guys are THE BEST!!! Linda Sophia's mom read more

I booked an appointment here based on other people's reviews. My two dogs were fit in on a Saturday pretty quickly. The staff was friendly and everything ran smoothly. The pricing is reasonable. They also do walk ins for smaller services like nail clipping. I will definitely take them back again. read more

We sort of found this place by accident. We adopted a fat furry little yorkie mix from a rescue just as all of this covid foolishness started ramping up. Oliver has been badly in need of a grooming. (He was dirty and he stunk.) He's 8 years old or so, and we weren't sure how successful a groomer would be, as my attempt and shampooing him was an utter disaster. I dropped him off, they calmed him down, and proceeded give him a haircut and thorough cleaning. Oliver is a very skittish rescue dog, but these folks were pros. If you are anywhere near Saugus and looking for a good groomer at decent prices that is open, I suggest you try this place. read more

Awesome place, very reasonable priced and great people! My parents dog, Floppy, is 14yrs old and super furry. She has never been to a groomer so I was more nervous for her! We did a consult the day before and didn't mind it (she's more reluctant to enter PetSmart...). Her crazy fur now looks like puppy fuzz and she left there with her tail wagging! Though my parents are from out of town and I dont currently have a dog, I will highly recommend this place! I know where to come if I adopt a ball a fur in the future :) Thanks!!!!! read more

Recently "acquired" a mini poodle and brought her in for the first time and they did an amazing job. She came back so clean and happy! We will be regulars at Poochies! read more

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had with Poochies. Liz was absolutely wonderful with my dog! Having a rescue pup who is very nervous about anyone and anything out of the ordinary, I was a little anxious about having her groomed. I did a lot of research before deciding on Poochies, and I'm so glad I did. They are the best!! read more

I feel fortunate to have found Poochies. The entire stuff is super friendly and dedicated to your dogs. I am a new client with my recent siberian husky puppy, and I am excited to continue building a strong bond with the Poochie family.

Very friendly staff. They showed lots of love and care for my dog. Reasonably priced. Clean. Very busy though even with an appointment (Saturday visit, only reason 4 instead of 5 stars, over 3 hours). My terrier mix got a bath, cut, and nail trim. Let hem know if you want their teeth brushed, it is extra. They were very knowledgeable about styles and suggested cuts. I will definitely be returning. read more

Wow this was our first experience with a groomer. We have a 13 week old, quite large, quite nippy and excitable. Indie was so relaxed when she got home and smelled and looked awesome. This will definitely be a monthly visit for our dog. Highly recommend and very happy. Thank you Poochies. read more

Liz took exceptional care of my dogs so I followed her to Poochies where she opened her own shop. The groomers that work at Poochies are so kind and gentle with the dogs and my dog always was so fresh and clean when I picked her up. I would recommend Poochies to anyone who is looking for great groomers read more

My dog left looking and feeling fabulous! Poochies is awesome and this is our second time coming back for a full groom. They go above and beyond to make sure my dog has a wonderful time. They also don't do cage drying. Each visit we consulted with the groomer on drop off to discuss the style and type of cut needed. I was concerned with ticks and just wanted his hair shaved completely off.. and she advised against it because of the long term damage it could have on my dogs coat and the possibility of it not growing back (he's a very fluffy cavalier king charles spaniel). Instead, she suggested trimming it down and contouring his fur. I'm so thankful for this advice and she gave him such a stylish, cute hair cut. I'm so happy to have found such a talented and caring groomer, Poochies is the best! :) read more

I brought my cat here to have caps put on her nails. The cat sat still the whole time. Best of all, the cat isn't trying to bite them off. The woman who did it was wonderful. She was calm and kept the cat still. She also explained to me what and how she was doing it. I'll be there again. Wonderful experience. Thank you. read more

I took my shih tzu puppy ziggy here to be groomed for the first time. I was very happy with how nice all the staff was..I had informed them that the last place he was taken to he was not taken very well care of and would come home traumatized and have accidents all over the house. Emily did a great job and gave him the perfect cut. First time ziggy has come home normal and didn't have any accidents. Thank you for taking good care of him. We will Definitely be back.. read more

I took my dog to Poochies for the first time today and I was very impressed. All of the staff was welcoming and friendly. The place itself was clean and cheerful. My dog, who is nervous by nature, was made to feel comfortable right away. When I picked up my dog, she looked great. The prices were reasonable and I asked about some additional services but Liz(the owner) told me me dog didn't need them. I appreciated not being oversold things that my dog didn't need. I will definitely be going back to Poochies in the future. read more

Liz was great, personable, timely. She initially returned my call right away, had good availability for appointments. Told me about a new client discount when talking about pricing. She was patient when I couldn't really answer her questions about how I wanted my Westie groomed (we recently adopted him). All in all a great experience, i would go back. read more

This is hands down the best groomer around. Liz is so good and patient and she clearly loves animals. I used to take my dog to the pet stores and another local groomer. I am so happy that I found Poochies. The service is better, the prices are better and my dog is happier. read more

I started going to Liz when she worked for Petsmart years ago. I have a poodle/cairn terrier mix who has a weird coat....and no one else ever seemed to get it right. But ever since Liz first groomed her, I've followed her wherever she is! (Liz that is). I even have since, moved to New York City and come back as frequently as I can to have Liz groom my dog. She just does such an amazing job, it's nothing any other groomer can replicate...even in NYC. Besides the fact she does a great job, she's great with my dog, patient and she has a very friendly staff. I haven't been able to come back in a while, but was able to this past weekend and am just so happy with how Pooka looks that I had to write a review...oh, and I've already booked her again for my next trip back to Mass :) read more

I have been looking for a good groomer for my dog for about a year since I've stopped going to places like Petsmart. I found their groomers to be rude, impatient and uncaring. They aren't committed like smaller, family or individual-owned shops. Found Poochies on the web, liked the information on their website (and the good reviews) and gave them a call. They were able to take my Min Pin the same day - a Saturday - and was done with her in about an hour and a half! Very caring, friendly staff and reasonable prices. I can tell these ladies really cared about my dog and her anxiety of getting a bath and her nails clipped. They did a great job! Got my princess back with short nails, smelling great and a cute bow! I am very happy and we will definitely be back. read more

I've taking my five years old longhair chihuahua to Liz since he was a puppy! We love her, she's very good to my Louie. She's the best groomer around! You won't be disappointed, her prices are very reasonable ! read more

I love this place! My dog hates baths but they take great care if him. Liz and her team are amazing!

We have come here twice as walk-ins for nail trims/filing, and anal glands for our two dogs. They are very willing to fit you in, they're done in minutes, and the price is very reasonable. $15 I believe for nails and filing. Anal glands $6 (totally worth it). My dogs are scaredy cats and the staff here are so sweet to them. read more

Love this place! Reasonably priced and can usually get an appointment within a decent amount of time. I bring my cat here to get a lion cut (don't worry, she loves it and it's very necessary) since she has a double coat and long hair. She always comes out looking purrrfect. And, I was very impressed that I was offered the option of skipping the bath since my cat's coat was clean and dandruff free. I didn't realize that was an option at any of the previous places I've taken her. Needless to say, she is very happy skipping the water part. As with most groomers, they only have one person who does cats so scheduling can be tight, so be flexible. read more

I have been taking my 3 yr old Golden doodle Bianca to Liz since she was a puppy. Liz and all her team do such a fantastic job with Bianca, and I love how Liz is heavily involved with helping out dog rescue organizations as well. She clearly cares about dogs and is a pleasure to do business with! read more

We called last minute to make an appointment and although they couldn't fit us in on the upcoming Saturday, they put me on a wait list and called me back when someone canceled. They were very professional and friendly and did exactly what we asked for our Westie. When we went to pick her up, they said that they noticed she had some symptoms that would indicate a food allergy. They gave us information on things to try and other dog food options. We're very pleased with Poochies and will definitely be going back! read more
