    // cross posted to Google This is a long overdue review as we had our first appointment with Mary at the end of February and it's now May. Mary is absolutely outstanding. I cannot recommend her enough. Our goldendoodle, Gimli, is leash-reactive to other dogs in close quarters, and we were upfront with Mary about this. We also shared that he had previously been blacklisted from a grooming salon after trying (but failing) to nip at another dog. Despite this, Mary graciously agreed to see Gimli on a Sunday. As it turns out, she's actually closed on Sundays, but she offered the appointment so she could guarantee he wouldn't encounter other dogs. She wanted to see who he really is when given the right environment, and that meant the world to us. We dropped him off and got a call just over an hour later. We immediately worried something had gone wrong (since Gimli's visits to Petco usually take 2-4 hours). But when we arrived, he was already beautifully groomed. More importantly, though, he looked HAPPY. He even turned his back to Mary, which may sound small, but for Gimli, it's a huge sign of trust. At Petco, we'd always pick him up looking anxious and withdrawn. This was a COMPLETELY different experience. Mary not only took great care of Gimli, but also gave us thoughtful advice and resources to support his training--both for grooming and his overall behavior. While we haven't been able to schedule a second appointment yet (because we're still working on the groom training), we're making progress and absolutely look forward to coming back. Mary is seriously one of a kind.

    First time customer, got my very matted toy poodle terrier groomed, not only was I able to secure an appointment the week of reaching out but Mary was very kind and gave great advice on further upkeep! It's obvious she deeply cares about animals... Oreo is very happy , will definitely keep coming back!

    Mary is absolutely amazing at what she does. Patient, honest and so kind! Due to my schedule, my Schnauzer, Marley, would probably have to wait it out until he'd be able to get groomed. But Mary was so sweet and accommodated him in her busy schedule. For reference, Marley has a history of being nervous and it had been some time since he last got groomed so there were a lot of mats that needed to be taken care of. And like every single time.. she does her magic and ends up making him look so handsome! A schnauzer! I wish I had a before to really show how great Mary's work is. But here is the after! Thank you so much again Mary!!

    Mary did an amazing job!! She looked so beautiful and stylish - w/a smooth, soft, and perfumed coat. During pick up, she wasn't scared. Mary is professional and knowledgeable. She gave us tips for brushing and behavior correcting - she's an amazing groomer! We're happily coming back for her next grooming!

    Was looking for groomer in my area. Called this place to see if they happened to have any availability for the following day. I have crazy work schedule and never really plan things well. To my surprise, they were able to squeeze us in. He was in desperate need for cut. He looks like a new dog! Just look at him.

    Panda  looks amazing in his new haircut . Bit O Blarney was excellent
    Linda G.

    First time Taking my Panda to the groomers and they did an excellent job. They treated Panda with patience and did a spectacular job. I would recommend anyone needing a groomer go to Bit O Blarney

    They are absolutely amazing, kind and caring about the pets they take care of. We brought our little boy Cocker Spaniel puppy in for his first professional grooming, and he came out looking like a rock star. He continues to receive his full service grooming from Mary. He just loves to go to see her. Mary is a true artist in her field of work. She is very loving of all the little pets we have seen there when we take our little guy in. We are happy to have found her, and enjoy dropping our little guy off to her.

    See all

    I am interested in dog boarding? Are they kept indoors or outdoors during the day and do they sleep in crates at night? And what is your maximum amount of dogs at one time thank you.

    I have both indoor and outdoor kennel runs. No crates. Feel free to stop by and I’ll show you around

    Do you groom cats?

    Yes. I do nail trims, brush outs, baths and lion cuts. I am also an Allbreed Judge for the International cat Association, so I am very good at handling cats.

She's stayed at Sweet Doggies, which is fine, but for 2 weeks, I wanted to find a place that was more like a home and not a boarding establishment. Honestly, I'm not even sure how MDAB showed up on my feed because they are about an hour away from us, but I am so glad it did. We did a meet and greet and right off the bat, you could tell that they love what they do, and that they love the dogs and all animals. The first couple nights, Blue was a bit anxious but Sandra and Joel made her feel comfortable. Also we are able to manage her skin allergies at home, but they flared up while boarding, and they took care of her. I loved being able to watch videos on Instagram. Sandra is also a retired vet tech so you know you the dogs are in good hands. I only wish we weren't so far from each other so we could use them more often!

Our dogs absolutely love it there. Hope yours will too :)

Emma is kind, caring, and compassionate and brought the company's mascot, the adorably trained Wilfred. Wilfred looks like a plushie dog that has come to life and candidly demonstrates how a trained dog should act. Our dogs immediately took a liking to Emma and Wilfred and thankfully Emma took our dogs in spite of their rambunctious behavior when meeting Wilfred. Emma was prompt with communication and followed the meeting with forms to complete via email, and took attentive care to our questions. We left our fur babies in her care for 2 weeks. We got cute pictures regularly, and our dogs looked engaged, safe, clean, entertained, and happy. Upon our return home, everything came back cleaner than we sent it. This was both embarrassing (why didn't I clean that when I dropped it off?) and a surprise and delightful touch when you're tired from traveling. Please know that our senior dogs aren't easy: one has a bad heart and requires twice daily medication, and the other eats everything not nailed down. I know my dogs and I could tell that they had fun and candidly missed all the attention they got at Wilf's Place. They even got a bath and are better at sitting and obeying our commands than when we dropped them off. We have already booked Emma again for our next trip. If you care about your pets, care about sanitation, cleanliness, details, and your pet's happiness while you're on vacation, Emma is a great find.

We are now focused on qualifying to pass the therapy dog test. Without Emma's weekly input we never would have understood how far our pup could expand his world. He is happier as are we thanks to Emma's patience and wisdom.

We've always been 100% happy with Terry (and so have our pets). Terry goes above and beyond and we never have to worry about what's happening at home while we are away. In the beginning our crew consisted of a geriatric dog and cat. Our dog was quite sick and near the end of her life when Terry began caring for them. She was exceptionally attentive to the special needs of our dog, good at making health assessments and overall someone I could count on. We now have a new crew...two kitties. They are both young and healthy although the youngest does have pica. My cat's particular version of pica is that she will eat any filmy plastic, like plastic shopping bags, newspaper sleeves, cellophane, etc. We have to be constantly vigilant to ensure she doesn't have access to any of the "contraband". Terry understands the issue and always ensures that my cat doesn't have the opportunity to ingest any harmful substances. Terry had a special way with animals and they love her. We just returned home from a nine day vacation. My kitties had enjoyed so much attention from Terry that they were both very ho hum at our return...kind of like "oh, you're back." Typically my "pussy posse" as my husband calls them would have followed me all around the house but they didn't. This told me they had been given tons of attention while I was away. When Terry stays overnight for us, she brings in the mail and any packages, waters plants, takes out the trash, and keeps a watchful eye on whats going on in the neighborhood. She also leaves my home tidy and just the way I left it which is much appreciated. At my request Terri regularly texted us updates and pictures during our time away which eased any fleeting concern I might have. I highly recommend Terry as a pet sitter.
