I used Out U Go for two solid months of daily walks with my 'girls' recently and couldn't have been…read morehappier! The entire process from the familiarization virtual meet through the daily communications on each walk was easy and comforting. Lindsay really took the time to get to know me, the dogs' routines and preferences, my preferences, and everything in between. Jessica was our walker most visits and very clearly took excellent care of Beatrice and Violet. I looked forward to the daily updates that were not only thorough but thoughtfully wonderful each time. She was so considerate of being in our home which you'd never know anyone had even been in if she hadn't left the detailed notes about after visiting. She even brought in packages several times! The girls clearly loved their time with Out U Go and they'll be my go-to for all future needs.

It is very easy to work with them for scheduling and they have been very responsive when I have had to address special or last minute circumstances.

I brought my dog here and was very excited to support the business. I'm sad to report that before I…read more even paid, I knew we wouldn't be back. Red flag #1: Bark N Bubbles is a crate free environment with no requirements to provide vaccination records. Crate free is cute for dogs who need to socialize, but providing vaccination records should be a must for every owner. Red flag #2: I dropped my dog off at 9:30am with DJ, described how I wanted him groomed, and she told me it should take about 2.5 hours; so I planned to pick him up at 12pm. I got busy and realized 12:30pm rolled around and I hadn't heard anything. I called and DJ said my dog should be done around 1pm. I arrived at 1pm and that leads me to... Red flag #3: My dog was on the hair cutting table unattended and whining while the groomer (who WAS NOT DJ) corralled dogs back into the grooming station. They told me my dog needed another 30 minutes. I waited for 43 minutes for a total of 4 hours for this grooming session. It has *never* taken my dog 4 hours at any groomer. Red flag #4: The groomer cut my dog. He said verbatim: "He did a really good job. The only thing is he got startled and the razor cut him a little bit. He didn't bleed and it only looks bad right now because it's stretched out." I'm curious to know what startled my dog, and whether it could have been the fact that the dogs are groomed in the front of the store where other dogs are free to roam, bark, and play. They also do it right by the front door, so literally anything could have startled my poor dog. I would like to add that when I arrived, I did not speak to my dog excitedly nor did I stay within his field of vision. I sat in the back, out of sight, and the groomer even commented, "I don't think he knew you were here" before telling me about the cut. Red flag #5: I dropped my dog off with DJ but when I came back to pick him up, DJ was nowhere to be found. I'm glad I arrived when I did because I had to tell the groomer how to cut my mini poodle's fur. I thought groomers knew to leave poodle tails a little fluffy but maybe that's my mistake for assuming. My frustration is really with the fact that I explained to DJ how I wanted my dog to look, and DJ wasn't the one grooming my dog. The other dogs in the salon were stressed out, which I was able to observe for the 43 minutes I waited for my dog. They are understaffed, which was clear by the way the front desk employee left a dog unattended on a table as well so that she could help another owner. I am a human and this entire process stressed me out. Imagine what our dogs could be feeling. Please do better Bark N Bubbles. The 2 stars is for DJ's friendly energy and that is all. Overall I'm extremely disappointed.

My client tends to wait until the dog is long overdue for a grooming to ask me to schedule for her so I knew that she was in rough shape and acknowledged that she was probably going to be matted and need shaved down. After one too many negative experiences at other groomers I decided to try Bark N Bubbles Doggie Day spa. The mobile website was a little wonky but overall pretty easy to use and the lady I spoke with on the phone was super helpful in getting us set up and scheduled. I also appreciated the emails and text reminders. Now for the groom: I was expecting to pick up a naked mole rat due to needing to shave the mats, but instead they took the time and care and patience to shave the spots that needed to be but brushed out her tail and ears and face so she looks really rather fantastic! I was really pleased with the whole process and look forward to regularly using and also recommending Bark N Bubbles to others!

Aimee recently took care of my rescue, and her service was excellent!…read more I recently adopted a small dog who I am absolutely in love with. I only had him for a short piece of time and had necessarily built up a network for him yet, so when my boss sent me on a week long business trip I was freaking out because I hadn't necessarily secured a dog walker or boarding services. I reached out to several places and none of them were able to take my dog on short notice. I did have a conversation with another service that actually excepted my job but last minute totally flaked less than 24 hours before I was due to board my plane!!! I called Aimee in a full on panic! I let her know what was going on and she immediately came over to my house to assess the situation and feasibility of my job. She had several other things going on but due to my circumstance she took my job and executed it flawlessly! My dog was boarded at my home but she came by twice a day to clean his enclosure and take him for walks. She did so as contracted. I have a camera in my basement so I was able to see every time she came over in the exchange and she treated my dog so wonderful!!!! That meant a lot to me. Amy not only save me from a potential disaster but she also gave me the assurance that my pet was taken care of with love.
