I was recommended to Spotlight by a fellow Bernese mountain dog owner. It is difficult to find a groomer in the St. Louis area that even answers the phone these days, but that was not at all an issue with Spotlight. My call was answered right away and I was able to make an appointment with Steve easily. At the appointment, Steve was very helpful in explaining the process. Pippa stayed at Spotlight almost all day, and I could tell when I picked her up that she had a blast. She also looked and felt AMAZING. She has never felt softer. I already scheduled my next appointment with Steve! Highly recommend checking them out. read more

See all

I was recommended to Spotlight by my neighbor, and I'm so happy we went! I have a Mini Australian Shepherd who's full of anxiety, especially toward men, but Steve and the staff did an awesome job with her. They even offer for the dogs to socialize so they're not in a kennel all day and I think that really helped her first experience! Not to mention she looks perfect and is super soft. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

Steve did a great job on my Sadie. I will probably take her back there because it is convenient when I am at work and because he did do a great job on her haircut. The place could use a little cleaning up. It is kind of dirty looking-- which i do understand, it is hard to keep the place clean when you have a lot of dogs around. You can tell that Steve really loves what he's doing. And I feel like the dogs are well-treated there. Honestly, that is what is most important to me, that Sadie does not come home stressed out from her day. read more

My dog Jax HATES having his nails trimmed. I called last minute because they were so bad and he got me right in. It took less than two minutes and Jax had NO PROBLEMS. This was a big win for me since he is so sensitive around his paws. He was so great with Jax and helped calm my nerves since I can usually hear Jax crying. I couldn't recommend this place enough. You have got yourself a lifetime customer! read more

Steve is a god send to my dogs and genuinely an amazing person! I have a 115 lb dog that refuses to go in to any building that smells like dog. It has always been so embarrassing and hard for me to get him to walk in to groomers, doggy daycare or petco. Steve gives me little pep talks to ease my anxiety on his reminder call because he knows how bad I feel about having a anxious pup. Steve, aka the dog whisperer, walks my pup in for me with such ease and is so gentle. He has taught me tips and trick on training and taking care of my dogs long hair in between grooming. My Yorkie and Golden Retriever always come home looking beautiful! read more

Steve has been the groomer for several of my dogs over 25 years. Highly recommend him for his experience, and truly artistic talent. It isn't easy to shape and style some dogs, but Steve is a master, even with schnauzer faces. I couldn't be more pleased! read more

I highly recommend spotlight pet service. I am a new cat owner of two cats, one of which is very feisty and won't let me hold her to cut her nails. I took both cats to Spotlight and he was able to cut in less than 20 minutes! He was also very friendly and helpful, answering several questions that I had. I will definitely be back to Spotlight Pet Service! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. The owner, Steve, and his staff are the type of people who truly love dogs (and all pets but I have a dog). As far as I'm concerned, these are the only people I can trust with my little friend. My dog is very feisty and bites when he's nervous or mad. But Spotlight knows how to work with him, they don't loose their cool or get frustrated and they get the job done. We've been turned away by other groomers because of his attitude but not Spotlight. I truly don't know what I'd do without this place. Well... I guess I'd have a filthy, unkempt dog! If you're anywhere near south city, take your dog here for grooming!! Oh yeah...And they are super reasonably priced!! read more

Spotlight Pet Service - All trimmed up and looking great after his day at Spotlight! - Pet Stores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

The BEST groomer I have ever utilized! He groomed my 2 male German Shepherds to perfection! Striping their coats, cleaning ears, nail trim & trimming the fur on their feet. This is the 2nd time I've utilized Steve, and he is top notch. My boys love him & I know they are in good hands when I leave. read more

I would say, I found the best groomer in our area! I've been taking my yorkie to Spotlight Pet Service ever since we moved to our new house close to them a year ago. I knew from the very first day I took him there that they're the best people for my dog. My yorkie is 12 years old. So I didn't usually have any problems about my dog even though I was taking him to other groomer before I knew about this place. But this place just made it so extra that we don't even have to worry about anything if I take him there for a couple hours because I trust them on how they treat dogs. They've always been concern about my yorkie's health and condition because they would always discuss about it to me and give me advice on what we should do if they're noticing something that we can fix ourselves and not end up taking him to a vet since he's a little bit old now. I've never had any problems with them and I don't think I will ever have in the future. They're just super caring not just for dogs but also customer's simple concern too upon setting up appointment and time with them. And one last thing, they're a little bit cheaper than other places out there! read more

Spotlight Pet Service - Nigel, a yorkie - Pet Stores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I just tried this place for the first time. The owner is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable/experienced. I brought my badly tangled Persian cat in and she came back like new! I was very impressed and I'm sure I will continue to use their services. Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend this grooming place. My dog has been traumatized from his previous experience at a different facility and Steve was able to make my dog not only look great but feel a warm welcome like family. Considering the circumstances I know my dog wasn't easy to groom in any way, shape or form but Steve came to the rescue. My dog looks amazing and we are So happy we found Spotlight Thanks for your services and we will be back :) read more

This groomer asked questions that no groomer ever asked...and actually educated use about what is possible. I trust this groomer...plus the cut is great! read more

I've been using Steve since before he opened Spotlight. I would never go anywhere else. He does excellent work and is always willing to discuss any aspect of dog grooming about which I might have a question, from pricing to styling. My dogs are rescues and have many "quirks" that we've discovered as we lived with them--none have been unsolvable and the dogs always look great. read more

Steve is great! I've been going to him for years. He is very professional and is always kind to my dogs. Excellent groomer!

I've always been leery to send my pup to a groomer because of all the horror stories I've heard. Usually when I "groomed" him, it was me taking him to a self-service type place and I would watch them while they clipped his nails (I'm too afraid to do that myself!). Spotlight is located in the area I grew up, and due to the prices I decided to give it a whirl. I couldn't be more pleased! I was scared dropping him off... But I could see how clean and "comfortable" the placed looked. I paid extra for Bo to have open play, because I didn't want him to be put into a cage after his grooming session. Bo is a chocolate lab which can get a bit pricey with all the hair removal and due to his larger size, but still their prices are very reasonable. I think I paid a little over $50 after the tip for a full groom session. The owner is always the one I have dealt with doing the check-ins and picking Bo up. He also handles all appointments. It's very reassuring to see how he handles the dogs and how he runs his business (himself!). Highly recommend this place! read more

I have been going to spotlight pet since it opened and would never use any other groomer but Steve. Steve has cared for and groomed my Giant Schnauzers for years and his work is spectacular .... but even more important my dog loves to go and comes home exhausted from a day of play and is groomed to perfection. If he notices any change or anything of concern he brings it to my attention with suggestions that would help. I highly recommend Spotlight Pet and Steve to anyone wanting a caring groomer who really knows dogs. He is professional and goes out of his way to meet your needs. read more

I take my long-haired kitty, Freddy, to be groomed here, and I can't imagine ever taking him somewhere else. I believe the owner genuinely enjoys helping animals, and Freddy always comes home looking fantastic. Other places I called wouldn't even groom cats, or only would on specific days, but Spotlight has a wide variety of grooming options for kitties. Even better, I bring my other cat in with me when I go pick up Fred, and they trim her nails for me right there. (She's a short haired cat and doesn't need regular cuts, just the nail trims, or I'd have her in there for grooming, too.) I can't say enough good things about the services here, and I love that I'm supporting a local business owner. read more
