A new pet groomer in Wilmette
Steve T.

We were looking for a local groomer for our Wire Fox Terrier and are happy to have found The Buff Pup. Eileen is the proprietor and she has a nice way with animals. Our dog Augie is spirited but he was un-phased and is looking good. I definitely recommend supporting this local business.

Otis and Maggie.

Wags on Willow is the best small business pet shop! You can tell just from their adorable logo how…read moremuch they care about the pets that come into their shop. Wags does dog grooming services, as well as Cats! They have a unique selections of natural dog foods, treats for your pawed friends, and emergency supplies you may need. Their front display case has the cutest cookies and pup-cakes for special occasions! Mary, the owner, is such a friendly and honest woman, and her employees do their best to make your dog or cat comfortable and looking top-notch! It may be difficult to make an appointment, they are always busy due to such loyal and satisfied customers! My Matilda loves going to get a bath and cookie afterwards. They treat her like the princess she is! While you wait, check out the awesome shops in the area, or stop by Stormys Grill and Tavern for a drink or Beyond Burger.

Occasionally forget to trim nails. I would give 5 stars because I really like the groomers, but the only thing that drives me crazy is the trainer in the lobby. While I realize she is trying to run a business, it's terrible to arrive for check in for grooming and being told "don't do this. Stand away from this dog. etc. etc." I want to be understanding, but the last visit it got downright rude. Perhaps there is not enough space? Maybe there is a more conducive location? Not sure, but I do know that our pups are scared enough to come to the groomer and when we arrive we are trying to keep them calm with calm voices because they can sense everything.

Today I had my 13-year old Havanese groomed at Rover's Place, and I'm thrilled…read more After a brutal groom at Wags on Willow (reviewed separately), our vet suggested Rover's, and I'm so glad. My senior dog can't take epic grooming sessions, and her hair was choppy and uneven after her last groom. Her ears and tail had been weirdly shaved, and I wasn't sure we'd be able to make her look normal again during her lifetime. The staff at Rover's is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The groomer we saw today has been grooming for 18 years, and had my sweet pup groomed in 45 minutes--and it's the best cut she's had in years. She did what she could to round out her ears, and to help set her up with a cut she can grow back into and look like herself again. My dog is fluffy, soft, adorable, and HAPPY! As a side note, all of the groomers there today were being so warm and friendly with the dogs in their care. I even saw one groomer sitting on the floor keeping a dog company while it waited for its owner. We will be going to Rover's for our grooming from now on!!

The staff have been great and the facility is clean however the ratio of dogs to humans can be too…read moreextreme. On more than one occasion We have seen one person trying to manage 15+ large dogs. It's often too many for him or her to control. One family member compared Rover's Place to a shelter because the dogs are put into crates more often than they should be. Our dog enjoys going to Rover's Place, finds ways to have fun with the other dogs and comes home tired however, we were hoping that there would be additional open space for the dogs to run around.
