My pup Sadie was always anxious with previous groomers but is completely different with Gwen- she is literally wagging her tail the whole time! What I love most is Gwen's holistic approach in fostering your pups tolerance threshold and never ever pushing past their comfort level. She is quite literally a dog whisperer and we are so lucky to have found her- not to mention Sadie has never looked (or smelt) better :)

Perhaps something changed recently with their move to the new locations, but communication and…read morecleanliness seem to be issues. Their website includes a cancellation policy that says low stress, one dog at a time. I visited in advance of booking to check the place out. I was assured that no other dogs would be in the room with my very excitable dog. When I arrived for the appointment it turns out he was going to be groomed on a table right next to another dog. And that table was strewn with lots of different items, it would have needed to be cleared off before they could put my guy there. Not sure what the plan was. So we agreed I would reschedule. Then I found they had charged $114 on my credit card. When I finally had service there today I'd assumed the charge would be applied to this service. I was told no, but after a little push back they relented. However, they charged an additional $90 for a second rinse - just a rinse, no dry, to remove the clippings that make my dog itch. Nearly as much as the full service. And I am concerned about cleanliness. when we arrived the floor and grooming table were covered with piles of hair from other dogs. gthere was even fur out in the hallway. Gwen swept it up, but only after I mentioned it. Likely the clippers and tools were not disinfected after the last dog, and she uses a shared lick mat, not cleaned between dogs. These are red flags in regard to disease. I wish them luck in growing a successful business, but I won't be going back.

How you do one thing you do everything and you can tell a lot about how a person will treat you by their ability to absorb frustration and disappointment. Taking it out on a potential client isn't the way. The other bad reviews about the quality of the grooming doesn't surprise me in the least after this interaction. One star well earned. You get what you give.

They provided shampoo and conditioner, apron, brushes, treats, towels, cologne, and leash loops on the floor and in the tub. There was also a big dryer with multiple attachments. The front desk employee was friendly and enthusiastic about showing me how to use everything. This was $15 per 20-min slot. I ended up paying $45 for an hour and a half (it took me 1 hr to blow dry my doodle). It was my first time ever grooming the pup on my own as a doodle can be very labor intensive, but Sit Pretty made it very easy for me to do it and helped me out every time I had a question.

Customer Service Experience…read more I am writing this review as a heads-up about my experience with Happy Tails Pet Resort in South Burlington. I had hoped to enroll my two rescue dogs--a Jack Russell Terrier mix and a Toy Poodle--for socialization and potential boarding. After several reminders, I finally received the nine-page application, which I completed for both dogs. I understand that a pet care business needs detailed information, so I took the time to provide everything requested, including veterinary records and stool samples. The stool samples were an added expense for me, but I completed that step because it was part of the application process. All materials were emailed to the owners, July 7-2026. After about ten days with no response, a follow up email was sent letting them know all documents and vet records were completed and sent and that an acknowledgement of receipt would be appreciated. I waited another week or so and then called and left a message. I still have not received any acknowledgement. It has now been about a month. As a business owner myself, I understand how busy things can get. However, the lack of any acknowledgement after the time and money I put into the application process felt discourteous and unprofessional. Perhaps they have too many dogs, or perhaps my dogs were not a good fit for their program. Either way, a phone call or brief acknowledgement would have been appreciated. Sadly, I can only give a 1 star experience rating - because the customer service was truly unacceptable, especially after I followed the application process they required and invested both effort and money into completing it. Disappointed potential customer
