Bark Avenue Mobile Pet Grooming is simply amazing!!! They came at the recommendation of a neighbor & after reading all the positive yelp reviews I was just praying that they were as great as everybody said they were. I'm happy to report that they are!!!! I have a very busy travel schedule and it is really hard for me to find the time to drop my dog off for an entire day at the groomers. Steven was in & out in an hour & my Westie looks great! I would recommend them to anyone! Both the service & price are excellent (paid about what I would have paid at my regular groomers). read more

I was looking for mobile grooming because I have 2 fosters and 1 rescue, and they are timid. I wanted them to be clean and happy for Christmas. I called around and no one could do it this week until I called Bark Avenue. Jay was really nice and said he would work around my schedule. He was to arrive at 10a to start the salon services. He was running late but sent me a text to let me know and arrived at 10:30a. He and his mother (his partner was ill) took care of the 3 dogs and they were not nervous or skeptical. That says a lot because these 3 have been through so much and their confidence level is way below the radar. He cleaned everything up, vacuumed and left the place clean. I was able to use the Yelp deal so it only cost me $120 for the 3 dogs, and that included de-shedding for 2 of them (where others wanted to charge up to an additional $25). I would definitely have Jay back to take care of my dog and any other fosters I may have. Thanks, Jay and Mom! read more

I scheduled an appointment with the owner after speaking to him last Monday at 11am. He was very nice and told me he had availability this Friday at 12pm. He asked me to text him confirming the appointment time and my address, which I did. Unfortunately today I called them at 9am after never receiving a response to my text. They didn't answer, but called me back at 11 after me texting them asking them to please confirm my appointment since I work full time and would need to come home. He told me that he didn't have any record of my appointment, and even when I sent him the screen shot of me confirming the appointment he told me he never received it and that he was sorry. Long story short- they didn't even offer me another appointment or some way to apologize/rectify for the error (discounted groom? Come by on their day off?) and even though they were polite on the phone I wouldn't recommend such a disorganized professional service to any friends. I mentioned that their Yelp reviews seem to reflect lots of missed appointments and he said it was just the two of them so unfortunately that's why. I really think Bark Avenue should look into hiring an assistant for scheduling, or an online platform for booking appointments. You are losing a lot of dog-loving, paying customers by losing appointments and not offering any kind of consolation for the mistake on your end. read more

Update: they were nothing but perfect the 6-7 times we used them. Now I've been trying to get scheduled for 2 weeks and they have responded only once to my 5 attempts saying they'd get back to me. . . . We just used these guys for the first time. We have a newborn so it was important for them to be on time, quick, and non intrusive. They exceeded all expectations. It takes a bit to get a call back, but that's because it is two guys grooming and taking appointments. You aren't dealing with a big company and getting passed around. They made things so easy and our dogs look great. My older dog is not a fan of grooming, so they gave him a break half way through and took him on a walk. By the time they left, both dogs were happy and looked amazing. Very reasonable pricing. It was worth every penny and more. We will definitely use them again. read more

From the other reviews it appears that when these guys actually show up they do quality work. Unfortunately my puppy and I weren't given the benefit of first hand experience and we will not be making a second attempt. On the day of my appointment they no showed. I had to make a few attempts to get someone on the phone before someone finally answered. They sounded groggy, as if I had just woken them up, said that something had come up and they couldn't make it out. Mind you this was 45mins AFTER my scheduled appointment. We had confirmed the day prior via text, as recommended. To top it off I had taken the day off from work for my puppy's home grooming and then had to spend several hours trying to find any groomer who could take my dog that day. From the other reviews I've read this seems to be a horrible pattern with this particular company. I would encourage the owners to take a close look at their customer satisfaction policies. If I can't rely on your company to keep appointments, or at the very least communicate quickly and effectively, then I don't care how great you are once you show up. read more

Really gentle and skilled groomer! My cocker has a bad back and knee and the groomer was sure to give her breaks and made her very comfortable. Her cut turned out wonderful. I will keep using them for my two cockers. ***I'm updating my review based on the following experiences. 3rd grooming: groomers showed up at 9am when they were scheduled for 1pm. Said they lost their books. 4th grooming: groomers were more than an hour late 5th grooming: groomers over charged my husband and I had to call to get a refund. Husband didn't know the correct rate and I was not home at the time of the transaction. 6th grooming: groomers didn't show up for the scheduled grooming. Tried calling twice to find out what happened and reschedule. No one ever returned my call. Now I'm left with no groomer and I am too busy with grad school to find another. I had set up the grooming with these guys so that I would not have to worry about this once school started. Very disappointed! read more

This company is a joke. We have 3 dogs and the owner showed up yesterday with only time for 1 dog. When I called the owner to ask when he might be by to finish the other 2 dogs he told me he might be by 4 days later and then got mad (because he already told my husband this information) and hung up on me. Don't bother with these guys. They have no idea what they are doing. Follow Up Note: It was not the owner who was so rude to me...it turned out to be an employee. The owner was nice and texted me to apologize so I am giving another star because the owner immediately responded to my review and seems to care. I still have two dogs that remain ungroomed though and it was close to 100 degrees today. If you are going to use this business, I recommend dealing directly with Jay, the owner. read more

I'm so sad that I didn't get the same great experience as everyone else. I made an appointment, they asked to reschedule and then they didn't show up for the rescheduled date. I was told that my text wasn't received to confirm the reschedule (to which I sent the screenshot with the time stamp of the returned text) and then was offered another day. At that point I had to decline. I'm very disappointed after reading such great reviews and super ticked that my dogs still need to be groomed. To those that continue doing business with them, a phone call is much better than a text. No one can say they didn't hear your voice. read more

Oh. My. Gosh. I seriously love Bark Avenue Mobile Grooming! I found them online at work one day and took the risk and tried them. They came right to my office and groomed my baby girl right in front of me. They even took breaks to give her kisses and love because she was nervous. I highly recommend these guys! I wrote about them on my blog: https://heatherngilbert.com/hunter-green-is-my-new-fall-must-have/ read more

Bark Avenue - They are so sweet! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Ennis , Texas

See all

Today was their second visit to groom my highly anxious, drama queen Shih Tzu Frida, whom I got for Christmas. The first visit, they were so wonderfully patient with her, I couldn't believe it. They gave her multiple breaks when they thought she needed them, and were extremely understanding. They did a lovely job and at a very reasonable rate, considering they came to our home, so she was in her own environment. Frida has a bit of a Napoleana Complex and loves to bark at big dogs, so I'd just hate to take her to a regular groomer, not to mention, most places don't even let you watch what they're doing, let alone, let you see the facilities--AND they usually keep them in a little cage for hours and hours. Frida loves them both and I feel so comfortable letting them take care of her on the patio while I do this or that around the house. They clean up after, so very gentle with her, and are both very sweet, polite, and professional. I couldn't ask more from a groomer of my little fur baby. read more

These guys do amazing work. We've used them twice, and both times they've been on time, professional, personable, and you can tell that they really have a heart for this profession. Prices are very reasonable considering the convenience of not having to leave your home. I will be using them from now on, and will continue to tell my friends about them! read more

Bark Avenue - The look on her face says everything. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Ennis , Texas

My review is this, I called this company as I am new to the area and have had a mobile groomer in the past. The gentlemen said to give my name and he would call me back for appt. I waited and called again left message and still no response. If did you did not want my business you should have just told me read more

Jay and Steven are a lifesaver. I have a dog who HATES going to the groomer. She has come back once so traumatized that she wouldn't even come near me for two days nor did she want to eat. Bark Avenue has literally changed the game! They never muzzle the dogs and are incredibly patient. They have worked with her and she continues to get better. The best part is they come to your house and leave no trace behind. They are so easy to work with and incredibly professional. I highly recommend them to anyone considering their services. I've attached a photo of my toy Australian Shepherd after being groomed by their magical hands! read more

Bark Avenue - How cute does she look after her Bark Avenue groom! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Ennis , Texas

Having a rescue puppy I wasn't willing to have him sit in a kennel all day waiting to be groomed. They really seemed to connect with him and genuinely care about each dog that they groom! They really made him look great and he smells even better! I will be recommending them to everyone! read more

Bark Avenue - Huckleberry after his amazing grooming session! He loved you guys! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Ennis , Texas

This is the best way to go for grooming! These guys are terrific -- excellent skills, very kind and good to our dog, and competitively priced. Don't hesitate trying their in-home grooming service. Everything was cleaned up before they left. The experience for our poodle was without stress , he genuinely liked Steve and Jay, and he didn't have to spend hours in a kennel like at other groomers. I highly recommend Bark Avenue. read more

Bark Avenue - In-home grooming--PERFECT!!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Ennis , Texas

The guys at Bark Avenue are totally awesome! They were flexible with my schedule and even made the extra effort to accommodate me when another customer canceled last minute. We will definitely be using them in the future! read more

Jay and Steven do **such** a fantastic job on our crazy/stupid dogs. We have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Bark Avenue always manages to get their mats out and make them look like canines to the manor born. They are also very sweet to our creatures, which is important since grooming can be sometimes stressful or scary. Prices are right in line with "regular" stationary groomers, which is great and not always the case with a mobile setup. And cleanup is a snap; when they leave, it's as if the chaos of bathing and brushing and clipping and buttgland squeezing never even happened. read more

These guys are amazing. My pup was totally comfortable with their gentle style of grooming. My baby was perfectly groomed and he looks so cute! I will be using there services in the future for sure. read more

This grooming service is wonderful. My dogs, Holly and Callan, never looked better! The two groomers, Jay and Steve, were a wonderful team of caring, loving guys, who truly love dogs. They know what they are doing, take their time, and each dog is truly pampered! They are my dogs forever groomers! Thank you for loving my dogs and giving them the calmest experience! Bark Avenue Mobile Groomers ROCK! read more

Very disappointed. Made arrangements for him to come bath my dog last Friday. I sent him my information and here it is Wednesday and have not heard from him. You would think he could at least give a call and explain why he wouldn't be here. Obviously not very dependable. read more

My 12-year-old lab no longer likes to ride in the car, but he has to have his nails cut regularly to help him walk. He HATES having his nails cut so it is a very difficult job! Steven held him while Jay cut each nail. They did such a great job that I scheduled my next appointment with them before they left! They did a great job bathing and brushing too! read more

Bark Avenue - Jay and Steven bathing Georgia. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Ennis , Texas

First time to try a mobile groomer and the experience was great. Some background - The last couple attempts at taking my dogs to a traditional groomer for baths went horribly. One of my dogs is a rescue and can be very high anxiety. He hated going and would freak out when they tried to crate him; I felt awful and decided that was the end of that. Since then both of my dogs turned into total stinkbombs. I had tried bathing them myself but it was always an ordeal and they never looked or smelled as good as when a groomer did it. Then I heard about mobile grooming services, found Bark Avenue, and voila! My prayers have been answered! They did a fantastic job and were so great at handling our dogs (even our high anxiety mutt seemed totally content in their hands). They brought all the supplies, no mess for me to clean up, my dogs look and smell wonderful, and it was more affordable than a visit to a traditional groomers - win win. Thank you Jay and Bark Avenue; we will be seeing you again. read more

Jay and Steven are great with our two dogs. Chelsea and Clancy love them and we love having them clean and bright after Bark Ave.'s visit. Not having to load them up in the car and drop off/pick up is a real time saver and the boys are usually in and out in under an hour. Could not recommend them more highly! read more

One year ago, I moved to Dallas with my four dogs; two of which not only require consistent grooming, but have complicated cuts. I had never tried mobile grooming before, but thought I would give it a shot. Steve and Jay are awesome and have far exceeded my expectations. They take great care of my dogs, provide a comforting experience for them, have great technical skill, take the time to listen to what I have to say, offer suggestions and tips when appropriate, and are always professional and kind. Yes, sometimes they are hard to reach; but I understand it's two guys doing EVERYTHING with no other staff. They have never been rude with my persistence in reaching them. If they are running late, they communicate that to me. If an earlier opening becomes available, they communicate with me. They clean up after themselves and their service is not overpriced. I highly recommend these guys. read more

I think my life just got a lot easier! These guys took enough time to get to know my very suspicious German Shepard that she actually let them groom her! She looks so much more comfortable after getting help to shed her heavy undercoat and now I won't have to vacuum my floors everyday! read more

Great service! Friendly and did a great job! I have a small dog who has bushy black fur and likes to roll around in dirt and other things and she needed a deep clean and short cut and they did a great job with her overgrown fur! Will definitely use them again. read more

They are reliable and do a great job working around my dog's skin tumors. Highly recommended them. My dog likes them all and is happy to see them! read more

The groomers just left my house and I am extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Almost too good to be true! They arrived on time and were very friendly to both my dog and I. They set up their table in the kitchen and immediately got to work. They were finished in one hour and my pup looked great. I could definitely tell a difference in her mood as well. She was very happy and energetic! They also did a solid job cleaning up, I couldn't even tell they were here! I will definitely be using their services again soon. SO convenient, excellent job, and great prices! Much better than taking your pet TO the groomer for 5-6 hours and not knowing what really goes on behind the front desk. There is a reason these guys have so many 5 star reviews, great concept and costumer service! read more

Jay and Steven did a great job with our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Their new haircuts are really cute, and it wasn't at all stressful for them. We will use Bark Avenue again! read more

I have always had "wash and go" Great Danes so wasn't sure where to go when I adopted a medium sized mutt that desperately needed grooming. I turned to yelp and reading all the glowing reviews AND the fact that they came to your house, I called and made an appointment. Not only were they able to work with my schedule, but they had an appointment open the next day. They called to confirm, showed up on time and were so fabulous to me and my dogs. You can tell they love what they do and take pride in their work. My pooch got the full treatment with summer cut, nails, bath, even his teeth brushed and doggie cologne! The price was very reasonable and I was thrilled with the results. I look forward to seeing them again when it's time for another trim! They rock! read more

Our border collie got into a mess in our back yard and we were desperate to find a mobile groomer to come to the house to wash her while we were out of town so our 82 year old Mother wouldn't have to corral her and struggle with the task! I called Bark Avenue at 9:30 pm thinking I'd get a voicemail when the nicest guy, Steve, the owner answered the phone! He was so accommodating and promised to squeeze us in over his lunch break or after hours after sensing my desperation! The next day he came just before lunch and did an awesome job cleaning and grooming both of our dogs. My Mother loved him and was so thankful! They have a new loyal customer for sure! read more

1st experience with these guys and they did well. Showed up on time, cleaned up and gave my dog an unforgettable haircut. Also were very patient with my very impatient dog. Will use them again. read more

These guys were great! My 15 year old shih tzu always had severe anxiety when returning from the groomers and I never felt like they cared about her. I felt completely different with these guys and my Scooter loved them too! I will definitely be using them from now on. Wish I would have found them sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great Service and Buddy (my puppy) Loves being groomed for a change. Thank you!

Life changed! It is not easy to take our 2 elderly, 100 pound dogs to the groomer- hard on them and hard on us. They would be terrified in a mobile grooming van. Love that they can be bathed and clipped and shaved in the comfort of their backyard. Our great pyr mix has a LOT of hair and Bark Avenue does a fabulous job with her. You can tell they really care for the dogs they are grooming, they treat them gently and kindly. read more

Steven & Jay were awesome. I have a German Shepherd with really bad anxiety. He's generally afraid of people and hates going to the groomer. When they arrived they were very patient with my dog and groomed him in the backyard where he was most comfortable. The job was done in 1 hour and it was reasonably priced. I will absolutely be using them again. read more

Not a good experience. I explained that this was an elderly dog and that is why we were doing a mobile service vs going to a groomer. He used our exterior hose, did not bring an equipped van. He didn't clean her face and he charged $75. He was here less than 20 mins. We also found fleas on her afterwards which we didn't notice or she didn't have before and which he didn't point out to us. read more

You can tell these guys love animals and it shows in their gentleness and care. Our 15 year old golden retriever cannot stand very long and they were very understanding and gentle with him. I will definitely call them again and would recommend them to anyone. Also, my dog never smelled better! read more

5 Stars! You guys did an awesome job and Mojo looks great! He is certainly ready for a night out on the town read more
