From the moment we arrived at Roxy's The Strutting Pooch, my pup Jazzy and I were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The staff not only understands the art of grooming but also the art of customer service. They truly care about both their human and canine clients, which sets them apart from the rest. What truly impressed me was their attention to detail. We have been going to Hannah since August for my pup Jazzy's bath & groom. Jazzy ADORES her. Hannah took the time to listen to my specific requests and preferences. She also made sure to discuss any concerns or special requirements in the follow-up. I instantly felt at ease entrusting her with Jazzy's well-being. The grooming itself was nothing short of exceptional. Jazzy came out looking gorgeous - with a shiny coat, perfectly trimmed nails, and smelling amazing! The bonus is the pictures they send in the follow-up report. They're the perfect serotonin boost you need for your day!

This was our first visit for grooming for our dog, Kona, who is a labradoodle. Since this was our first visit, the owner Sylvia, called and had us send pictures of how we expected her to look. Upon pick-up she looked and smelled amazing. Hair and nails trimmed to the right length and she even seemed happy! Thank you Sylvia, Robin, Maureen and Tina - we will be back!

I will forever recommend this place! I have a 10-year-old Doberman and have used the strutting pooch for pet sitting on three separate occasions now, each time for over four days. Before our first scheduled sit, we had a get to know you meeting with the sitter and my dog, and they were beyond helpful and eased all of my worries. They take detailed notes on the specific needs of my dog, and take the time to really understand how to best care for her. My dog has some separation anxiety, and I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm a helicopter mom, but the sitter did an amazing job looking after her and she is so happy to see them each time! At the end of each visit, they send a recap of how it went and send pictures! It's almost as detailed as a kiddo's daycare recap (I have compared haha). It makes me so happy to see my girl happy when I'm away! read more

We have 3 senior pups, two if which are diabetic and visually impaired. Our pet sitter from Strutting Pooch came to our house, took them outside to take care of personal business and stayed overnight. She communicated during each visit and even sent photos. This was THE best pet sitting experience we have ever had! From the ease of booking the sits, to the communication and care for our furbabies- i woul give 10 stars if I could. read more

It was our first time at The Strutting Pooch with our Yorkie Whois two years old and has to take some Medication in order for anyone to groom her. She was groomed by Robin who did a great job getting out the matting and making Lilly look very cute. I will definitely go back to Robin at The Strutting Pooch! read more

Strutting Pooch has been a life saver for my roommate and I... We have a 4 year old Pomeranian and a 1.5 year old Rottie/Dobie Mix. They always make sure our dogs are happy and healthy! My favorite experience was when we had a walk scheduled when my roommate was home sick (the walker didn't know she was home and could hear her), when she saw our pups she immediately started talking to them and loving on them just like we do everyday when we get home. It really made us happy knowing they love our fur babies as much as we do. read more

I hired the Strutting Pooch team to walk my elderly Mother's dog in Saratoga Springs. This required 7 days a week service with consistent time of service for the comfort of my Mother and her dog. Chris' team was amazing in their professional and friendly manner that created confidence with my mother. The Strutting Pooch online portal allowed me to see that Shelley was being walked with photos, timing and updates for my peace of mind that everything was being taken care as I manage these needs from Chicago. I highly recommend the services of Strutting Pooch for your dog walking needs. Sincerely, Kevin Williams read more

The Strutting Pooch has come and taken care of my Abby & Tiggy for two of my vacations now, and I absolutely loved their services! It is so much more comforting to have my pups be able to stay in the comfort of their own home, and know they are being well taken care of when I am gone. I really love that they go the extra mile by taking pictures & writing an update for each visit.. it is so nice, especially if you are a pet owner like me who hates to be away from them, it helps to get to see a pic of their happy little faces when you are missing them, brightens my day! The only thing that bummed me out a little was that one dog walker sent great pics & blurb about their walk & the other walker didn't take the time to do so..maybe I got spoiled? LoL Either way.. calling them them today to set something up again!! read more

The Strutting Pooch organization is professional, caring, sensitive, patient and thorough in their full-spectrum approach to canine care and grooming. They provided full service grooming care for my scottish terrier in September, 2020. I felt their communication regarding services, timeline and expectations were right on target. They are personable and receptive in their customer service approach. Our pet is a member of our family and as such it should be noted we felt very comfortable in the quality of care, services provided, treatment and kindness she received. Thank you to the Strutting Pooch Organization. Lynn L. read more

This company is top notch and classy. If you're looking for people who will love your pet and make them comfortable while away from home, I strongly recommend Chris, Sylvia, and their team. They have helped me since day one of having Finn, my mini Aussie (1.6 yo). They are always looking for ways to make their customers happy (both fur and human), and it's such peace of mind knowing my little guy is in good care. I've used their daycare, walkers, and overnight services, and have been extremely thankful to have them available any time my busy work schedule has demanded me to be away from home. They may be a bit on the higher priced side, but to me, it's worth him having a house to be at instead of a concrete play pen like other places around. I also know what dogs are regularly there- not 10-15 where your dog will be overstimulated and overwhelmed. Finn gets lots of love and care with any of their services- he cries with excitement just pulling into their driveway for daycare. This place can't be understated. They are awesome. read more

I moved to Saratoga in September with the idea that my dogs would be in Boarding for a couple weeks while we waited for our house to close. Those couple of weeks turned into two months. My four dogs, my babies, needed to live somewhere other than by my side for that time because of my temporary housing. Kevin and Jeanette took care of them as if they were their own. I have two pit bulls, Gracie and Sunny, and 2 senior dogs, Howie the Chihuahua mix and LeRoy the cocker spaniel. They didn't hesitate to take my pit bulls and they were kind enough to allow all of my dogs to stay in the same run. They provided continuous bedding, even when my girls tore up the blankets. They fed them, walked them, and loved them. I knew that my babies were loved when I went to visit and the dogs would go to Kevin or Jeanette for cookies and kisses. I've visited multiple times during the week to walk my dogs out in the woods or on the 40 acres of their ranch. Kevin texted me constantly with updates about their health and behavior. When Leroy got an ear infection or when the pitties were acting out, I heard about it immediately. These folks alleviated some stress from a very trying situation. I cannot express enough how grateful I am that people like Kevin and Jeanette run a kennel like this. I will use Burnt Hills boarding kennel for as long as I live in this area. P.S. I do not work for this business. I am a teacher who moved to this area two months ago and had to call around to all of the kennels in the area to find a place for my dogs.

Ravin and Nick took the time to meet him in advance, handled his needs with professionalism, and played with him, and petted and brushed him during each visit. After each visit Ravin texted pictures and a detailed description of the visit which did a lot to ensure my wife and I that Teddy was safe and being given tender loving care. In addition, a snow and sleet storm on the morning of the first visit made my road impassable. Ravin parked at the nearby school and walked to my house to make sure Teddy had his first morning breakfast on time. And later in the week Ravin worked on clearing the entrance to my driveway for my return. In my opinion, it is very clear their love of animals, coupled with their work ethic, make Ravin and Nick the team to trust for the care of your four-legged family member.

I have had the pleasure of bringing all 3 of our dogs to the Strutting Pooch in Ballston Spa, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. This exceptional dog grooming company truly stands out for their patience, love and remarkable grooming services they provide. The staff at The Strutting Pooch not only exhibited a genuine affection for dogs but also showcased an incredible level of patience and care that made me feel confident in leaving my dogs in their capable hands. They took the time to listen to my specific grooming requests and paid meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that my dogs were groomed exactly the way I wanted. One of the standout features of the Strutting Pooch is their affordability. Despite the high quality service they provide, their prices are more than reasonable. All three of our fur babies enjoy going to the Strutting Pooch! read more

For close to a year I used the services of Karens K9 and Kitty Kare and Karen does such a great job. The only reason why I am still not utilizing her services is because of location. She is professional and really loves animals and my dog loved her. She is kind and took extremely great care of my dog, Peyton. I would highly recommend her services to anyone, and they would be very pleased. When I had to travel for work or leisure I knew that my dog was in good hands and that put me at ease. Recently, Karen relocated and the distance between her location and may home is too far, but she gave me a recommendation for a new sitter and it is all working out really well. Use Karen's services and you're special pets will be in good hands! read more
