Paula, demonstrates a very perfessional knowledge of grooming my very nervous Yorkie/Terrior. This was his second visit with her and was very calm, after his exceptional grooming treatment she provided. I would definitely recommend Paula to family and friends. read more

A Paws Spa - Pet Groomers Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

Poor service for pooches. Would not attempt to bring my pets here. Owner has poor communication as well.

I gave this location a call and was pleasantly greeted by Paula. I was seeking services for my 1 year old Sphynx cat- bath, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. Paula was so warm and kind and even excited to hang out with him. I immediately knew this where I wanted to take my baby. She was so accommodating and was able to take him later the same day! She had the best communication. And her professionalism and skill in her craft was apparent from the first to last encounter. Paula and I got to have a small chat and everything went so well- he was absolutely perfect when I picked him up and immediately discussed making it a regular reoccurring appointment for him. Moving forward there is no where else I'd bring my boy to and will be recommending Paula and A paws spa, to everyone who asks! read more

A Paws Spa - Sir B fresh out the carrier from Paula's services and she really did the best and took care and love with my baby! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

Paula is without a doubt the best in the business. Excellent care with our newly adopted 2-year-old tabby, Abbie, for a nail trim and so knowledgeable regarding other questions/concerns we had since taking her home. Will be a customer for life!!! read more

Paula deeply cares about making our 17-year-old cat and 14-year-old Rough Collie very comfortable. Paula is very friendly discussing our older pet's health considerations. She takes the time to get acquainted with me, our pets, and their special needs as older pets. Paula prioritized the needs of our pet first and foremost while providing the best professional grooming services. Her communication skills are excellent kindly explaining how she will provide you the option of multiple appointments to reduce the stress on our older pets. She made me feel at ease that my pets would receive calm tender loving care. Paula absolutely transformed our very old Domestic Longhair cat by carefully removing a tangled mess of mats on his underbelly. Paula made him so much more comfortable. He feels so much better now. As a new customer we were so impressed with how she cared for him as if our cat was her own. We made a 2nd grooming appointment for our Rough Collie. Our Rough Collie received professional grooming. Paula is skilled in breed specific grooming methods and techniques. Our Collie looked show worthy and beautifully stunning. We trust Paula highly recommending A Paws Spa so much so that our timid 15-year-old dog and our 3-year-old cat are next be pampered by Paula. read more

Groomer was so good with my rescue cat and my fur baby felt so fresh and clean after!

Paula did a great job on my border collie mutt he doesn't like anyone but he was charming and happy at the spa.

Best groomers ever!!My yorkie is so difficult and snaps a lot.Last year he got a mouse blue pad stuck on his face.All the groomers i called we're booked and not sympathetic at all!I was a mess until I dropped off Mike and returned transformed!!Maria was so kind and wonderful and squeezed Mike in.And I have been so happy ever since.Even though Mike bit Maria at first,she still groomed him beautifully and rarely needs muzzle now.Paula and Maria so experienced and talented.They can answer any question!I highly recommend this place!! read more

They're so talented there! They pay attention to details which is rare nowadays! They were also very accommodating and understanding of my last minute schedule change. Highly recommend! read more

A Paws Spa - Korben and his new gorgeous haircut - Pet Groomers Near Me - Saugus, Massachusetts

I had a horrible experience at paws for applause. I just picked up my dog after 8 hours, and they informed me when he was ready that they didn't have enough to cut him. Then the owner went on to say that it was $185 for the appointment, and all they did was brush and give my dog a bath. My dog is 30lbs too! The main reason I went in the first place was to have my dogs hair cut!!! Unacceptable. Every other dog grooming place charges around $75 at most for a bath. read more

We've been taking our cat Ms.Kitty to Linda for about nine years. She was the only groomer we could find that was willing to give her a bath which as you can imagine can be quite challenging especially if her long fur is matted. She has always done a thorough job on her and she comes home looking,feeling and smelling so nice. Thanks Linda and staff for doing such a nice job on Ms.Kitty while being as patient and gentle as you possibly can! I know she can be hard to work with and we appreciate all of your help over the years! read more

Grooming of my cat was Ok but the first time it was $100 and without notice the second and last time it was $140. It's hard to find a cat groomer but there are some that are much cheaper. There was really nothing special about the grooming to cause it to be so expensive. Not going back! read more

I absolutely love this place! Best groomers around! My dog is a Scottish Terrior and has skin allergies and they treat him with pet gloves. Always come out looking fantastic after his grooming!!!! Highly recommend. Will be boarding him there while I go away...trust them to take good care of him!!!!! Do not hesitate to have your dog groomed there. Kathie My Dogs name is "Dougal" read more

I took my cat to Linda for many, many years and have ALWAYS been happy with her service. Cinnamon was NOT a fan of bath time and could get quite fiesty. Linda and her staff always handled her with kindness and patience - and Cinny always came home looking and smelling like the princess she was. Unfortunately, Cinnamon passed away last year, but I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and kind groomer! read more

MY DOG GOT LOOSE AND CROSSED ROUTE 1! DO NOT GO HERE! Today we brought our golden retriever Emma to get groomed and she got through their broken fence and CROSSED ROUTE 1! Yes, that is correct, both sides of Route 1 at 1:30 on a Monday afternoon. I might be crazy but isn't rule number one for a groomer making sure that our pets are safe and secure! My wife and I got a random call from a fantastic and kind gentlemen that stopped his truck and rescued her (after almost hitting her). THANK GOD for this guy. Our adrenaline was out of control and we were both getting choked up. Needless to say, we will NEVER, EVER, EVER go back to this place. By the way, I would have given this place zero stars but Yelp apparently doesn't allow such a low rating. read more

We had a terrible experience at paws for applause. The person who I made the appointment with (the owner) wasn't even there at my scheduled appointment. I was told she was running an errand and to leave my pet. 4 hours later I called and they still hadn't gotten to my pet. They told me another hour. My pet has been to one groomer before and it only took an hour. They called again later and told me a time to pick her up. When I got there they said they still weren't done and that my pet attacked two workers. My pet never had any issues with people, children, vets or groomers before. She has also never been away from home for the entire day. When we finally got her she was frightened and hardly any of her fur had been trimmed. We were completely overcharged for the amount of grooming that had been done and the fact that it took the entire day to accomplish it. We won't be returning. read more

I have not been to the Paws for Applause location in Saugus, but I visited their booth at the New England Pet Expo, where they were giving free nail trimmings. The woman giving the trimmings cut my dogs quick, which of course got me upset to see my dog in pain. She then cut my dogs quick 2 more times! My poor dog was yelping and the woman scolded me, telling me that my being upset was making my dog upset. My dog was upset because she was hurting him! I had to tell her several times to stop so I could get my poor dog away from her! My dogs quick is pretty easy to see, and I think she was careless, which is not a good way to win over potential customers who are lined up at your exhibit booth. read more

i relied on linda for 6 years to groom my dog each month when i lived in the area. i moved out for 17 years, came back to the area and contact linda to groom my 2 dogs. she remembered me and my dog. it was so comforting. they are at her shop right now and i can not tell you how at ease i feel. i know she will love my boy and girl and more important i know she will take care of them. SOOOOOO glad i found her again. thank you Linda and Staff. read more

I've been with Paws for Applause for years. Linda is a Master Groomer and dogs leave her shop looking like show dogs. My dog was a matted mess and I had tried other places but Lindas place was the only one who would take her. She came out looking like a new dog and her staff has always been loving to my different animals over the yrs. I've referred many people to Paws and they have all remained as regular customers. Whatever your animal needs are Linda and her staff will go out of their way to accommodate you. They've even picked up and delivered my dog when she got skunked and I was apprehensive about putting her in my car for fear of the smell lingering forever!!!! I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! read more

Finding a groomer for your dog is like finding a new hair dresser. You get attached to someone that is really good and when you cannot go to them anymore you get nervous about finding a new one. This was how we felt when we moved up to Saugus last summer. We were not very familiar with the area and wanted someone close by and affordable that would be great with our little yorkie. Luckily we found Linda & Paws for Applause. With years of experience and a passion for dogs, they are really the best in the business. Their puppy cut on our callie is so cute and I love how they style her. She always looks fantastic and comes home with something decorative around the holidays. We have utilized their doggie daycare services for days that we work late and have also gone for a teeth cleaning (without putting her under) and they came out awesome. I highly recommend Linda and her team to anyone that is looking for the best for their pet. The staff is loving and attentive to your pet as if they were their own. read more
