    Julie is absolutely incredible at what she does! She handled our cat with such great care. Was so gentle and followed his lead the entire time. If all groomers were like Julie, the world would be a better place!

    I can't say enough about how much I appreciate Julie and the wonderful, caring, thorough, conscientious, loving, knowledgeable, and skilled grooming she does! I got a beautiful Ragdoll kitten in January~ she is adorable, sweet, and very floofy! From the first month I had her, I knew it'd be best for her (and for me) if she got a "Sani-trim" and the back of her pantaloons trimmed every month or so. Julie is patient, and was wonderful with my kitten, who was a bit timid and scared at first. And, she did a great job! Nearly 10 months later, my floofy girl has come a long way when she gets her grooming! I trust Julie, am incredibly grateful for her services, and absolutely recommend her!

    Jules is the cat whisperer! We have a sick/skinny kitty named Jinxsy who was covered in big difficult matts that began to pull at her very thin skin. Matts on her elbows and knees that looked painful when we tried grooming her ourselves. We searched everywhere for somewhere we felt comfortable taking the risk of grooming or fragile girl just to make her comfy in these later parts of life. Jules not only came into our home with gentleness and peace but took time to meet and love on our kitty Jinxsy. Jules meticulously started trimming away at the matts even though our finicky girl was not the most thrilled about haircut time. Jules is patient and with her years of training and time spent working in the veterinary field was able to read our cat's behaviors while supporting our girl in the process. Not only is our girl more comfy and safer with her new cut, but I know this would've been almost impossible without Jules! She also is incredibly inclusive and comes prepared with treats and a gentle spirit to calm pet parents nerves. It felt like she knew our cat forever and us her! If you're looking for a really gentle, good, and smart cat groomer - Jules is it. We are so lucky she is so local !

    I can't say enough good things about Julie! My 11-year-old dog Chloe (a Havanese-Poodle mix) was so hot, itchy, and uncomfortable, and she absolutely dreads grooming due to past trauma from previous groomers. I called Julie and she kindly set up an appointment for us. From the moment we arrived, she was so patient, gentle, and understanding with Chloe, who can be very fussy and anxious. Julie even let me sit with Chloe to help ease her anxiety, which meant the world to me. She took her time, offered Chloe treats, and made the whole experience as calm and comforting as possible. Now Chloe is clean, cool, and comfortable, and ready to enjoy the summer! I'm so grateful for the love and care Julie gave her -- truly a wonderful experience.

    I wouldn't let anyone else groom or care for my little guy for any reason. Jules is prompt and professional, and my cat absolutely adores her. There is none of the fuss or pushback we've seen with others when she goes to groom his coat or trim his nails, or even when he gets a bath. She is truly a cat whisperer. She is helpful, proactive, and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about animals.

    Jules is awesome! She is the only person who could help remove matted fur from our elderly cat in a calm and gentle manner. Here in this picture you can see that our cat was relaxed in Jule's presence. Jules is patient and focuses on making it a comfortable experience to ease anxiety for our pets. Jules also helped groom our older pup. She focused on building trust and was gentle. She was careful and patient with nail trimming too. Jules is upbeat and fun, she was cool with our toddler joining each pet's appointment. She is professional and was able to care for our pet's while also being silly with a toddler. 5 stars, glad I found her!

    Brought my very scared foster poodle to see Jules at the animal rescue's referral. In a short amount of time my poodle warmed up to Jules and allowed her to pluck ears, bathe her, cut her nails and give her a nice summer clip. Jules is amazing, compassionate and also very efficient!

    Melissa D.

    I have employed Julie twice now, and have been impressed both times. She's very gentle with my two skittish kitties, and really takes her time so my pets are at ease. Not only did she bathe/groom/clip my two girlies in my home at a reasonable price, she even followed up with a report on how they did, and contacted me a few days later to see how they were doing. I really appreciate her care and concern. I highly recommend Julie's services.

Shadow has a bum leg and after many xrays, exams, mandated rest, etc, we went to BARC for a second opinion before we opted for surgery (Spoiler alert: he still needs surgery) We had 2 vets and an assistant evaluate Shadow. Range of motion, gait analysis, fancy equipment to determine how much pressure he was exerting on each paw when standing; it was a very comprehensive exam. After evaluating our pup, we ran though their diagnosis and recommendations. Our questions were answered, a plan of action was explained, and options given. Although the recommendation included surgery, we feel good about that choice. This will our pup's second surgery (we did the other leg two years ago). Everyone was so kind and patient. Shadow was treated liked the loved family member he is and not like a casual pet. My husband and I were held accountable for his weight loss and his care plan is complete.

He didn't walk or stand after the first 2-3 weeks of his surgery + only used his front hindlegs to help himself get around. However, after getting a second opinion, and being referred to BARC from his primary vet, our lives have truly changed. The doctors, PTs (Dr. Amy, Erin, Vlessyn), and the Rehab Assistants (Deja, David, Jessica to name a few!) have been so helpful in his therapy sessions. We've done acupuncture and physical therapy for the last 1.5 months and have already seen incredible improvement. Zion can now stand (in a neutral, fixated stance) and take small steps using his back hindlegs. Both of which we were told would be impossible from his surgeon! I'm looking forward to continue working with their team and helping Zion with his road to recovery :)

Which included acupuncture, strength building, and most importantly teaching me the owner how to care for Bodhi at home. Whether it was the harness they recommended or the modalities that could help.

Instead, I was met with cold gatekeeping and a complete lack of transparency from the front desk staff, Brock. When seeking specialized physical rehabilitation, pet parents are already dealing with immense emotional and financial stress. I asked straightforward, basic questions regarding the estimated cost of a standard wheelchair/cart fitting so I could plan financially. I was told they couldn't give me any ballpark figures until I paid a mandatory $350 upfront exam fee. Furthermore, when I pushed for basic structural transparency, the staff member became defensive, took my questions personally, and refused to speak with me further, stating "someone else" would have to call me back. It is incredibly discouraging to be met with robotic gatekeeping when you are looking for an empathetic medical team to help your ailing animal.

She not only welcomed us in with open arms, but she made sure that we and my dog, Mojo, were comfortable before she began. She was calm, caring, and genuine throughout the entire appointment and really explained all our options and what she was doing thoroughly. She started with gently feeling his body and assessing it, quickly noticing that his spine was probably causing him some pain. We moved onto acupuncture, where she explained all the points that she was doing and how it would benefit him. She also had some treats readily available to distract him as the needles were going in! After about 7-9 minutes, you can visibly see Mojo just... relax. Completely calm. Not squirming or fidgeting. It was honestly like magic. She was able to do cold laser therapy while the needles were in and then she whipped out KT tape.. Which I didn't even know you could do on animals! As she taped his spine, she gave us instructions on how to help him up the stairs and to lower his pain in his hind legs. She also suggested that we start cooking his meals as well with turkey and some sweet potato. After she taped him up, we carried him out to the car where he immediately took a little nap. While we were in the car, she came out with a lot of medicine for him to take for his nausea, alongside some inflammatory medicine and Chinese herbs. Within a few hours of taking the Cerenia that she gave us, he was able to keep food down (which hadn't happened for about 4 days before this, he was throwing up everything he ate). Not only that, he was able to sleep without any disturbance and seemed incredibly relaxed. Dr. Bertolone treated us with kindness and genuinely cared for him. We will always be indebted and appreciative to her and cannot express the amount of gratitude we have for her. She is undoubtedly one of the best veterinarians that we've ever encountered.

    Dr. Bertolone is incredible. My german shepherd was limping and going lame in one leg after years…read moreof sheepherding, she was 8. The vet told me to get surgery ... I turned to Dr. Bertolone and Virginia gained back years of happy mobility!!! She's 14 now and chasing after the cats and after her treatment just yesterday is smiling like a puppy. Dr. Bertolone is a member of our family at this point and is a huge reason Virginia is so happy and healthy at her senior age! Highly recommend. She also has helped with vaccines, urine tests, blood tests, and medications including herbs making Virginias medical care as she ages incredibly easy for her. Love, love, love.
