    I've been taking my two boys to the barking lot for 2 years now. We love our groomer, Sabrina. We have a large border collie mix who gets a tidy every couple of months. Our little one is a Maltese mix who tends to change up his hair length depending on the season. They always get their cute little bandana at the end of their visit. I recommend this place to my family and friends.

    I regularly wash my dog at a self serve wash, and thought I'd clean Charlie up in California. Amenities were Fantastic! Water was a comfortable preset temperature, shampoo was automatic, easy rinse, easy dry. Wish I lived in Palm Springs just for the Barking Lot!

    I brought in my 14-month-old Lab, who's super friendly but gets really nervous when it comes to nail trims. I worked with Boomer, who was incredibly patient and professional. He helped me hold and calm my very excited pup, and made the whole experience much less stressful. While we couldn't get all of the nails trimmed (totally the dog's fault!), I really appreciated Boomer's care and approach, and I definitely plan on going back every few months when I'm in Palm Springs. I also had a chance to communicate with Sam, who was just as professional and a pleasure to work with. Overall, I highly recommend The Barking Lot--great people who clearly care about the dogs they work with!

    Really great staff, easy-to-use equipment for self-service. Bonus they provide an apron to keep yourself dry. My very nervous dog did great in their facilities. Definitely would recommend.

    I was so impressed with the Barking Lot, Specifically with an associate named Sam! I had never washed a dog before and Sam went above and beyond helping me and more importantly he was so gentle, kind and patient with the pup I was caring for. Thank you so much!

    Boomer is great! Ask for him. Both dogs I took there were professionally trimmed. Would always go back and ask for Boomer.

    My Muppet is a Toy poodle and needs grooming. I went to several places. Sometimes I would get her…read moreback and she was too short, too long, half done, or just ok. One time when I picked her up she was a bit groggy, in a strange way. Another time drenched with flea powder (she has never had fleas). Never knowing the result or her care, I started to dread taking her to get groomed. Recently, I trimmed her bangs and ear hair. Big mistake, as you can see in the "Before" below. Weather is getting warm and she was a ball of hair too. On the recommendation of a friend, I made an appointment with Grooming with Love. I am glad I did! BEST. CUT. EVER! Shonna called me before, during, and after the cut. She did a great job. She shared some grooming ideas for the next time (as my dog's ear and face hair grows back from my bad trim I did too short). I love what Shonna did for my 6 year old Muppet, she is cute again, smelled good, and is happy. See the AFTER pic below. :) Thanks Shonna!

    I found this groomer on Yelp and for all parents of Fur Babies we worry when we go to a new…read moregroomer!! So I read the reviews and made an appointment at 8 am. I arrived a few min early and was greeted warmly by the owner and the groomer, they were both lovely and took all Covid precautions. My two French Bulldogs were sniffing all around and wanted to go in and see what this new place was all about. I felt totally comfortable leaving them. I picked the dogs up exactly when I was told they would be ready and they were. They smelled and looked great and were happy and not nervous at all. I asked to be called every 8 weeks as this will now be my forever groomer. Thank you for taking care of Toby and Dozer!!!!!
