She always looks like I'm abandoning her on the median strip of the Mass Pike. Gentle Grooms was the 3rd groomer I tried, and I'm so thankful my friend recommended sandy to me. Sandy has a calm ,soft manner and a soothing voice. It works! No whining,crying from nervous nelly. She's wagging her tail and beautifully coiffed with bows when I arrive. I travel 35 minutes from Metro West just for the services at Gentle Grooms. It is well worth the drive.

I have a persnickety chihuahua and a chiweenie and Carlos was amazing with both of them. Not only…read morewas the grooming itself excellent, but when I picked them up, it was obvious my grumpy old dog really liked Carlos (and he doesn't like anyone). The shop itself is small and very clean. Also worth mentioning is that there were a half dozen dogs in the grooming area, and they were all super calm and happy, and clearly felt very comfortable with Carlos. I highly recommend Soft Paws! Side note: it's cash or check only, so don't be a dummy like me and show up with just a card.

But for the…read morerest of us, a service like this is a lifeline to provide care for a complicated pet, whether the pet is elderly or reactive, or just gets stressed in overwhelming environments like noisy grooming salons. Aussie Mobile is a remarkably well-run, locally-owned business staffed with patient, flexible, and caring groomers. I would give Ian and his staff 10 stars if that were possible. This business is a pet owner's dream and it became a critical component in supporting my Shih Tzu in his elder years. The "business" side of the business is frictionless, run by Ian who knows that it means to provide services to customers, but he also truly has a dog-owner's heart. He cares about the clients he serves. And the grooming staff is wonderful: kind, skilled, and animal-focused. This business is a win for animals and animal families in equal measure.

We have been loyal customers of Aussie Pet Grooming for the past 4 years and trusted them with…read moregrooming our 6 year old Golden Retriever. Unfortunately, within the last year, our dog has been seriously injured twice during grooming appointments. The first incident resulted in a neck injury requiring an emergency vet visit and multiple stitches. Most recently, he suffered another grooming injury near his knee, again requiring hospital treatment, stitches, pain management, and nearly two weeks wearing a cone during recovery. Beyond the emotional stress of seeing our dog in pain, these incidents have also resulted in approximately $2,000 in veterinary expenses. While we understand that minor accidents can occasionally happen in grooming, two significant injuries requiring medical intervention is deeply concerning. It also appears there is frequent turnover and changing groomers, which raises concerns about consistency, training, and experience levels. Our dog is gentle and has been groomed professionally for years. After these repeated incidents, we no longer feel confident about the safety and quality controls in place. We hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves grooming supervision, training, and accountability so that no other pet has to go through this experience.

It's an absolute ripoff, and I wouldn't go here if I had any other option to give my dog a bath when it's too cold to do outside. The place is also increasingly dingy and depressing, with no basic maintenance or upkeep. The walls and ceiling clearly have not been cleaned or painted this millennium.

I'm definitely going back to her! The price is also very reasonable so a plus on that as well! Thank you Daniella!

I no longer trust Crate Escape to care for my dog…read more Our dog had gone to the Crate Escape since he'd had his shots. He was well cared-for, and enjoyed going there. The last few times we brought him there, the staff was clearly under-trained and awkward with him. After one pickup, we noticed a nasty abrasion on his skin with some bleeding. I got an "oh gosh, we didn't notice that", and a followup phone call that meant nothing. They have switched to an online booking system that's poorly designed and a pain to use, very different from the days when you'd just call and make a reservation. I strongly recommend avoiding these folks. They used to be great. I would have gone out of my way to bring in more customers for them back then; all the good will is gone.
