I arranged an appointment with AJ for my cats Boo & Minette, in hopes that a grooming would help with my terrible cat allergies. The good news is, I'm sitting next to both cats now without any allergy symptoms--I hope it lasts awhile! Meanwhile, the cats look GREAT. Their fur is soft and clean, and the de-shedding treatment has made it much nicer to pet the little fellas. On a note unrelated to the grooming results, AJ was super knowledgeable about cat behavior and was very patient with my fraidy cat! I definitely recommend Style Purrpetrator and will be using the service again! read more

Style PurrPetrator - Pet Groomers Near Me

A bit pricy but convenient service for your cat. They are also very fast. When I take my cat to a groomer usually it takes 5 hours but they were done in an hour and a half and the cat looked great. read more

Style PurrPetrator - Pet Groomers Near Me

She was amazing and took great care of my cat. She was matted from head to toe and wouldn't let me touch her, but she came out of the van happy and refreshed. She definitely has a way with cats! read more

This was a great service for the first two years I was doing it. When I first started, AJ would come with a young lady (Caitlin or something). Later it was just Caitlin. AJ was super nice at first, and she completely fixed my long-haired cat's severe matting and provided helpful input on some skin conditions my cat had. The year or so while Caitlin was grooming my 2 cats, everything was great. My long-haired cat would come out with a perfect comb cut every time; and both cats would come out with a little seasonal bow, nail caps, and something cute. After Caitlin left, AJ started doing the grooms herself again and she got progressively crankier each time over the last year. (I am not sure if it was something I did; but based on some other reviews, I think maybe she's just sort of grumpy with a lot of people.) Considering that I spend over $200 and give her at least a $40 tip each time, I expect her to be at least surface-level friendly. I think she's just over-scheduled or something. Anyway the last few times she has cut my cat's hair in a very sloppy lion's cut (with a crooked, blunt mane) instead of the more expensive comb cut I am charged for every 6 weeks. As I write this, AJ is outside washing my long-haired cat for the last time--after we exchanged words. Because AH is often late arriving, I wrote her a note yesterday just letting her know I had a doctor's appointment immediately following her visit. I didn't ask to change the appointment at all and was just writing the note as a courtesy so that she'd have it in mind as she managed her time. Thinking maybe she wouldn't see the note until her day started today, I called my doctor's office and moved my appointment--**12 minutes** after my original email, I wrote to disregard the first email since I pushed the doctor's appointment far enough back that there would be no risk of scheduling conflict. Today she texts me 20 minutes before her scheduled time saying she'll be ready for the first cat in 5 minutes. I was about a block away at the grocery store, and told her I would be home by our appointment time. She got sort of pissy and said she might not have time to do the full groom; so I said if she wanted to come early, I needed more than 5 minutes notice. On all prior visits, AJ texted me at least 45 minutes before her arrival--usually because she was running late (which I have never complained about). So I don't get her expectation that I would be sitting here all day for this appointment where I have to drop a bunch of money. Anyway--I took the cat to her truck and had her inside at least 10 minutes early. When I dropped the cat off, AJ was obviously pissed but she tried to be sort of passive aggressively fake-nice: "you seem stressed" in a snarky way. I explained my point of view on times, and she said she doesn't know my schedule and the time on her invoices is an arrival range; and if I need to change appointments she needs 48 hours notice.... I never asked to change the appointment, and I certainly didn't do anything to deserve being talked down to. I went out of my way to make this appointment a priority. I just wanted to have a solid time so that I could do one other activity today besides getting the cats washed. Anyway, writing about this experience in black and white is making me feel better because at least I can see that I'm not being crazy. There's no reason for someone charging so much for such a personal service should act like it's a hardship to stick to a schedule. Going to double-check website pricing and pre-appointment invoice before she tells me to come pick my cat up. Will update this review if anything of note happens. read more

I had a great experience with the young lady who groomed my 16 y/o cat and clipped the nails and cleaned the ears of my other four cats. She was great! After about three weeks from the grooming my 16 y/o developed what I thought were scabs, from the grooming because she is a fighter. Then I noticed two spots on my own skin, googled it and found it most resembled ringworm. So, I took my 16 y/o cat to the vet who confirmed that it was ringworm. I then had to go to my doc to get treatment from the ringworm I had contracted. My 6 m/o son also contracted it, as it is extremely contagious, but not every person or pet is susceptible to it. So, my cat was given an antibiotic shot at the vet and has to take an antibiotic every day for a month. I have to put a cream on the ringworm I have and my baby has at least twice a day. My cats do not leave my home, so I can't imagine how my cat would have contracted ringworm if not from the grooming. I texted the groomer informing her of the situation so that she could take necessary precautions to prevent other clients from contracting ringworm. She forwarded my text to AJ who emailed me basically shirking all responsibility and placing the blame on me. She informed me that she canceled my next appointment, which wasn't even for my 16 y/o cat and let me know that I would only be welcome back after 2 negative cell cultures for every animal in my household and each culture must take 30 days to go negative. It is pretty clear that customer service and professionalism are not AJs' strengths. After reading the two other posts regarding her behavior I felt it important to report my experience with her. Sadly for her, she lost a customer. read more

I had a wonderful experience with the cat grooming service. Our elderly cat is unable to groom herself properly and hence developed mats. My husband and I are both too busy to bring her to a groomer on a regular basis. We were so relieved to find Style Purrpetrator. It not only saves us trouble, but also is low-stress for our cat, who is a bit antsy. The price is a bit high but totally worth it. The grooming is very thorough. The nail clipping is done way better than our vet. So now our second cat gets groomed too. read more

Sorry about the neg review but I didn't get past the front door. I read where others had positive experiences but such is not my experience. I went on line and submitted a request for someone to contact me about appointment availability. We weeks have passed and I ended up forgetting about them, Not one word although I provided email and phone. Then, out of the blue, I get this very abrupt email from Style Purrpetrator with a thousand questions...here, look at this: How many cats do you own and how many cats do you wish to have groomed? What breed is your cat? Is it long haired or short haired? How old is your cat? How much does your cat weigh? When was the last vet appointment? Are you up to date on rabies vaccine? I do request a copy of the rabies certificate prior to grooming. Are there any medical conditions? Are your cats taking any medication? If so, for what? Are there claws? Is your cat intact or fixed? How would you describe your cat's personalities: Compliant, Shy or Aggressive? Are you able to pick up and hold your cat without being bitten or scratched? What happens when you let your cat go? Does it run and hide under the bed or does the cat turn to let you know it didn't like being picked up? Does the cat swat at you? When you try to clip the nails what kind of behavior happens? Is your cat an indoor or outdoor or indoor/outdoor cat? Is your cat on any flea/tick medication? Are there fleas? Is your cat shedding? Is the bum dirty and caked? Are there mats? Matting, if any. Where is it located? Is it just on the belly? Is there any under the tail, on the hips, on the back, on the chest? How close is the matting to the cat's skin? What % of the body does the matting cover? Has your cat been groomed in the past? If so by whom? Is there a reason you are looking for a new groomer? For cryin' out loud! I can understand a few question but this is rediculous and at no point in all this does anyone introduce themselves or even ask what time frame I was considering. I promptly wrote back and said no thanks, I'm finding another groomer for my cat. read more

Very bad experience with this company, very rude owners and staff. They cancelled our appointment due to the inclement weather, billed our card in full and have since refused to refund the amount. Really disappointed with their business practices. We thought the service was going to be pretty straightforward. Save your pets (and $$), do your research and go somewhere else! read more

I have two Siberian cats and yes they have lots and lots of fur and AJ and Kelcie are experts at making my fur-babies look and smell fantastic. I swear they are both cat whisperers...love the service Style Purrpetrator provides! read more

AJ came to groom our cat in Ellicott City in 2017. Working with AJ to schedule this appointment was a bit difficult, but we looked a past it because our cat needed it. AJ was a bit critical and judgmental, and kept calling our cat "disgusting" in a loving way... It was very odd and confusing, but not the reason for my 1 star review. Our cat needs another grooming now so I reached out to AJ to come to our new address in Catonsville. She replied that she does not cover Catonsville. So I replied that we would meet her at the original address in Ellicott City. She replied "As thrilling as the offer is, I dont cover Ellicott City either." I could not believe the rude response. It was not prompted in any way. She came to the address before, and her site shows that she covers Ellicott City. I emailed her back three times (the same day, two days later, then 8 days later) and no response. I asked when she stopped servicing Ellicott City in the first two emails (I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, although I wanted to be rude back), then in the third email I sent her a screen shot of her site showing she comes to Ellicott City and asked when we can discuss getting this appointment set up. No reply. I tried calling, I had my mother call as well and send an email, but she never got back to us. I still cannot believe the rude, completely lack-there-of customer service. read more

Horrible experience; VERY unprofessional. I had an urgent job-related matter come up on the day of the appointment; my step-daughter was home to let the groomers in when they arrived. She couldn't coax the cat into the carrier, and she called me -in tears- because the groomer (AJ, I think?) refused to help. Despite my efforts to talk with her on the phone to explain the situation and ask her to help, she did nothing but lament me for how far she had driven and that she had to be paid. I asked if she would return to do the service on another day if I paid up front, but she would not budge and said that I was welcome to book another service at full cost, in addition for paying for that day's non-service. $153 down the drain. DO NOT use this company!!! read more

If you are looking for a mobile cat salon then look no further! Style Purrrpetrator is the ONLY OPTION. The team is so knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the video they took of her first visit and the darling fascinator they dressed her in. And the results!!!!! As if she could look any cuter...they managed to find a little more cuteness!! Style purrrpetrator is the cats meow read more

Abrasive and agressively rude staff. Skip. Very unprofessional.

Sent request for appt - contacted by owner promptly. Had to reschedule appt (gave 72 hrs notice), but no prob. Kelcie was very knowledgeable and when she was finished, our kitty looked amazing- we were so pleased, we asked Kelcie if she had time to groom our other two cats, which she did. All three kitties look and smell wonderful and the process was " no stress" for all involved. The negative reviews are the complete opposite of the experience we had, but we did read and follow the company's policy regarding the need to reschedule and understanding it was our responsibility to provide the cats to the groomer (not the groomer's responsibility to come into the house to get the kitty). We will be using them again! read more
