It's hard finding a shop that offers hand stripping especially at a decent price so I thought I hit…read morethe jackpot when I found this place, unfortunately I'm going to have to keep searching. I was very specific with my instructions. No clippers, full hand strip, trim only as needed. I provided reference photos of what I wanted and even offered to send a website link that had a detailed description of how to groom this breed (since it's not one many people have ever seen, let alone worked on) along with diagrams but the person I spoke to said it wouldn't be needed. Wearily, I took her word. What I got back was not what I was expecting and frankly, it doesn't look the best. My dog is not a schnauzer, but they seemed to have given him a schnauzer skirt for some reason. He's overtrimmed when the breed is meant to look rough and natural. Besides that, the handstrip job itself looks decent with very minimal balding so that's one of the positives. I'm just disappointed that my instructions and references weren't followed as closely, especially for the price I paid.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and to inform you that I will no longer be…read morereturning as a client. Despite specifically asking that my deceased dog not be mentioned, this boundary was disregarded. That alone was upsetting and unacceptable. In addition, over the past four years I have spent hundreds of dollars at your establishment, yet I have repeatedly experienced incomplete grooming services while still being charged the full amount each time. I also do not understand why it consistently takes four hours to groom a five-pound dog, particularly when details are routinely missed. Beyond the services themselves, there has been a persistent lack of acknowledgment and basic client consideration, which is disappointing given the length of time I've been coming to you (since 2019). I am generally a very easygoing person, but between the repeated boundary violations, the inconsistency in services provided, and the lack of accountability, I have lost all confidence in your business. I will not be returning.

Godog has been walking my dog Yumi for over a year and I highly highly recommend them if you're…read morelooking for a walker! Steph, William, and Jason all seem to really care about Yumi, and her well being, I know she feels similarly because she's incredibly excited when her walker for the day arrives. The walks are always in small groups, consistently with the same one or maximum two other dogs, all of whom are friendly and well socialized. After each walk I receive a very charming update along with very cute pictures. Overall I highly recommend Godog, I've used several dog walking services over the years and Godog is by far my favorite!

The team is incredibly warm, thorough, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every dog who walks through their door. What I love most is that their philosophy of dog care mirrors high-quality child care -- attentive, structured, and deeply compassionate. It aligns perfectly with the kind of love and care that I give Tucci at home, which makes it easy to trust them and feel safe sending him there. One of my favorite parts of the day is receiving the photos and videos they send. It's clear from every update that Tucci is happy, engaged, and in great hands. He loves it there! I am so grateful to have Prospect Bark in the neighborhood. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, joyful, and nurturing place for their pup.

Hello! I wanted to kindly remind this business that it is illegal to perform "working interviews"…read morewithout compensation. Working interviews are legally considered trial employment, which requires at least minimum wage. When asked by a prospective employee if this will be a paid trial, the owner responded to them saying that if that matters to them, the job probably won't work out. Aside from legally, that's pretty morally gross. Especially in the current job market. Nobody should be expected to work for free, even if that job involves hanging out with dogs! Dogs are great. We love our dog. We love him so much, we even feed him! Which is hard to do when being denied pay for labor. Just something for this business to consider changing moving forward, and maybe something prospective employees and clientele should be aware of.

I was a tiny bit jealous (lol), but mostly just so happy knowing how loved and cared for they were. She truly treated them like her own. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and totally in tune with your pets, Nellie is your girl. We're so grateful we found her!

We have been bringing our dog here for daycare and grooming for four years and I really can't say…read moreenough good things about this place! We originally tried a couple other local dog daycare places that looked a little more glam than this one, but we've stayed here because of the loving care they provide for our dog. All of the staff are very attentive, professional, and loving with Monty - they notice things about his health and behavior, they pay close attention to the relationships dogs have with each other, and they also have figured out to bathe our dog, who is very opposed to water. Monty is always excited to arrive here and it's a wonderful feeling knowing he is in good hands. (It's also a well-run business; there's never been any confusion about billing or prices or anything like that and they've always been accommodating when we've had scheduling snafus.)

DONT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE…read more I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction and serious concern regarding my recent experience with Homedoggy. Prior to my appointment, I was clearly quoted $220 plus tax for services. When I arrived to pick up my dog, I was unexpectedly told the total was $359 plus tax -- a substantial increase from the agreed-upon price. I was never contacted about additional charges, nor did I approve any change in pricing. When I questioned the discrepancy, I was told that if I did not pay the $359 plus tax, my dog would not be released. Being placed in a position where my pet was withheld unless I paid an amount I never agreed to is completely unacceptable and deeply disturbing. After I objected to what I consider fraudulent pricing behavior, I was told that they would never service my dog again. To then, after all of this, have the nerve to ask for a tip was beyond unprofessional. At no point did anyone acknowledge how inappropriate it was to threaten non-release of my dog over a disputed charge. The entire interaction felt coercive, unethical, and handled with a shocking lack of professionalism. I expect transparency in pricing, proper communication before additional charges are added, and respectful treatment. None of those standards were met.

HI-BK is a wonderful and great place if you're looking for a good, reputable and professional…read moredaycare. Our dog Millie, has been going to hi-bk for over two years and has loved it since day one. I'm an anxious dog owner, and tend to over worry but I never do when Millie is at daycare because I always see how happy and well attended she is. Her tag starts wagging the second we mention she's going to daycare, and scratches the door to get in if the door isn't opened fast enough. She loves the staff, always takes a moment to say goodbye before heading home after greeting us, especially if it's Richmond at the desk. They have strong guidelines about vaccines, dog's health, temperament tests, crate testing for boarding, and more which always made me feel very confortable and assured that they're putting these procedures in place to keep HI-BK safe for all staff and dogs. The space is well kept and clean. It's obvious that everyone who works at HI-BK cares for the dogs so much, they are all so friendly and welcoming, and most importantly, they are so kind and well mannered with the dogs. Millie loves people's attention and she gets lots of love and attention. I wouldn't trust anyone with the care of Millie but I would always trust hi-bk to be a safe and welcoming space for Millie. Millie has been to HI-BK for daycare, boarding and grooming and I would recommend all three to anyone who's looking for a place for their pup.

Appa has had a handful of photo shoots to celebrate the holidays and her birthday. Plus Instagram posts throughout the day. You can really tell how much they love and care for the dogs.

We love bringing Appa here and highly recommend!

When I first signed Luna up, I got a very useful email about the next steps which was a 3 hour trial that I needed to schedule. When I scheduled, I got another useful email with instructions on drop off and pick up. I love how organized everything is and there's no guessing with anything. There's also an app available where you can watch the live cameras if you're nervous about your dog's first day at daycare or anything. I'm so comfortable with having her at Acme Dog Run and love that I see updates on the app and even on Instagram. You have the option of keeping your dog there for a half day (5 hours or less) for $35 or a full day (5+ hours) for $46. If you're looking to give your dog some fun definitely give Acme Dog Run a try :)

I also had to move the pickup date around and Amelia was extremely flexible. She was very communicative and lovely and sent me text updates about Bear throughout the week to put my mind at ease.
