I am traveling with my new kitten and she got diarrhea and I had to take her to the ER. She is fine now but I wanted to get her a bath before driving back to Iowa city. The kind woman on the phone said they do not take kittens but would be happy to help if Alicia the groomer consented. She did, so I brought my kitten mango in. Not only were they so gentle and kind, they made sure to get to know mango and my's backstories. I even heard the groomer make it a point to meet the parents of other dogs she has just groomed to ensure she was 100% happy. I was nervous mango wouldn't like it, but she was so calm and sweet with them. I expected to pay about $20.... but nope! FREE OF CHARGE because all they wanted was for mango to get home okay. Goodness. Truly great people. This place needs more reviews and I would recommend 100% P.S mango says thanks!!

Customer service needs work, not a friendly environment! My dog is traumatized and mopeing around. Not sure how they handle the dogs when they groom them! We won't be back!!

They were kept up against a wall with dog gates. They said they were just about ready to text me. I understand and things come up, but the lack of communication and how my dogs were kept while they were waiting for me was heart breaking. I have never seen them this stressed before.

Sue, the Owner of In Home Pet Care is very passionate about her craft. What pleases me the most is that she is patient and truly listens to your concerns and instructions about grooming your pet. Its currently off Army Post, but when I started going to Sue the shop was just a small little place off of SW 9th right next door to Andy's Place. Their prices are very reasonable! I asked her to style my pup's hair a certain way and requested to use specific ribbon colors. It was my very first time taking my pup in, so she took me on a little tour of her "pet salon" - I loved that level of transparency! A lot of bad or shady groomers don't bother showing you the behind-the-scenes of their facility. She also allowed me to look @ her ribbon selection so I can choose what would best match my pups outfit....yes, I am one of those people dresses their dog! I dropped my pup off right @ opening (7:30am) and picked her up later at about 4pm - Sue was very friendly and took time to speak with me for about a full half hour about her professional experience, and other services. I told her that I just relocated from California, so she informed me about her "pup-sitting services" - which she does....In Home! =) Lastly, my pup smelled soooooo good. I don't think I've ever had her smell as good as she did after going to Sue...EVER!!! And my pup smelled great for weeks after!!! In Home Pet Care......HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! =)
