If your dog requires a breed specific cut (or any aspect of a breed specific cut) I recommend you go elsewhere. My only request for my Yorkie was to have her ears tipped, so the tops of her ears would be shaved to show off the point. Instead they mangled my dogs poor face hair and didn't even do the ears like I wanted. :( Her face looks terrible. I didn't think my dog could ever be ugly (because she's the most beautiful girl in the world) yet now she is. There were still eye boogies caught in her mustache and she didn't even smell good! I don't know if she wasn't bathed or what happened but she just smells like her normal self. Super weird. Luckily hair grows back but to not be able to fulfill one simple grooming request is sad. Then there was the fact that I was very very worried about my senior dog slipping (she's going to be 13) so I made sure to tell them multiple times that she needed extra care so as to not be on slick surfaces..... I brought a blanket for her to be on and her special grippy socks. When I arrived to pick her up the socks were still behind the counter and when she was brought out they had her walking on the slick vinyl/linoleum/whatever it is sans booties. It's one thing to not listen to a simple grooming request but it's quite another when my dog's health and safety is being disregarded. Please don't get me wrong, everyone I interacted with there seemed like the most lovely people and so many people recommended them. If this review was just based on how sweet the staff was it would be way different because -especially the front desk gal- was wonderful to deal with. But I can't justify stressing out my old girl for the kind of haircut she received.

I will be forever grateful to the AMAZING staff at Dirty Pawz!!! We have been a customer for a while and have always been thrilled with the service we receive, but today I called in need of an emergency appointment to de-skunk my two huskies. They had a run in with a skunk the night before and both got fully sprayed. Not only did Dirty Pawz come to the rescue, my huskies smell amazing and look fantastic as always! THANK YOU is just not enough to show my gratitude for this team and saving us from smelling like skunks for weeks!

Found this place on Yelp. So glad that I did. I took my 14.5 week toy poodle for her spa day and I couldn't be happier with Dirty Pawz! Every aspect was a pleasure, from booking my appointment all the way to me picking my fur baby up! I like that they don't kennel the dogs while they're being serviced, giving them time to play around and such! The ladies are such sweethearts and it shows just how much they love what they do! If you're looking for a place to pamper your pet, stop by Dirty Pawz.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. They make our two little Lhasa Apsos look absolutely GAWGEOUS!! Our girls hate leaving the house and shake all the way to the vet the groomer the grocery store...well you get it. But when we get to Dirty Pawz they stop and just start sniffing around. The people here are so good with dogs. Oh yeah - you can TEXT them to get an appointment. Sooo convenient - and their new establishment is so very cool. Here's our girls from the most recent visit. (It was 20 degrees outside so my husband was trying to keep both of the warm).

The staff did an amazing job! Super easy, & quick! They respect your needs for your animals. I told them exactly what I wanted for my puppy's grooming and they nailed it 100%!!!! Reasonable pricing and they give u a bandanna or a bow after the appointment I recommend this shop 100%! I Definitely will be returning for future appointments!

Absolutely love this place! The owner Nikki and her staff are super helpful, friendly and did an absolute wonderful job with our Goldendoodle. He was a bit overdue and we were nervous to take him in but they put our minds at ease and really took the time to make sure he was comfortable and looks great! I couldn't be happier and look forward to our next visit!!

My dog is an evil little troll. I can admit that in the realm of cyber-sapce and privately to close…read morefriends and family. He does not like to be groomed. He bites, growls, and squirms. Most groomers have come across a dog like this in their careers. His 1st groomer did well with him but is in South Carolina. His 2nd groomer told us that if had been her dog that she would have taken him to be put to sleep. When we explained our situation to a 3rd potential groomer, she told us she'd charge more with each nip or bite. We were heartbroken to think that nobody could deal with our little poodle. He only weighs about 6-7lbs! We ended up trying to groom ourselves which left him looking not so good and us frustrated. That was until our neighbor pulled up with her sporty little schnauzer with a snazzy new haircut. We told her of our woahs and she recommended Close Companion. We were astonished that the groomer reported that the dog behaved pretty well (we implored her to be honest). He looked GREAT and he knew it strutting around in his new haircut. Even though we have moved away from the Yorkville area, we will still make the trip out there for our grooming needs. I feel confident that they treat our dogs with care, kindness, and respect. I do not worry that the lil guy will get hurt or be mis-treated. Our neighborhood now is extremely dog-friendly and we tell people that it's more than worth the drive. Close Companion does very professional work and more than reasonable rates.

As i was checking out, i literally witnessed one of the groomers being sooooo rude to a poor dog…read morebecause the dog was moving. I wish i would've seen the owner of the dog to let them know their poor dog was treated poorly. Also, it's impossible to schedule appointments. Last time i took my dogs here they both got an ear infection too. Unprofessional business, i would not recommend.
