I really recommend Evelyn and her assistant!! I have a 2 lb yorkshire terrier girl who has some separation anxiety, and is rather fragile due to her tiny stature. I'm one of those "my dog is my child & my world, not *just* a pet" kind of people, and so I am very particular with where/with whom I leave my dog for any kind of care. Thus, I am so grateful & relieved to know and trust Evelyn to be so gentle and careful with her, as well as so tasteful in styling her-- for 3 years now, my pup always looks darling, smells wonderful, and is (most importantly) happy and healthy leaving the salon. No small feat when working with a dog the size of the hair trimmer! I always appreciate Doggie Dearest being so accommodating with appointment times when I remember to schedule appointments somewhat last-minute (oops.. I'm sorry Evelyn!), and how prompt, professional, and organized she is in every interaction, remembering my haircut preferences for my pup, etc. Highly recommend! read more

gave my dog the absolute best haircut, easy to schedule, great communication, no bad smells. highly recommend. thank you!

Evelyn and her assistant are very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They made me feel comfortable dropping my furbaby Princess Bailey there to get groomed. They are close by and have been reasonable rates. If you're in LES or the East Village and need your Furbaby to be groomed this is the place for you. I will be going back in 2 months for another grooming! read more

The best! Evelyn and her assistant are kind, understanding and good at what they do. There's no extra charges and she is always right on time. I highly recommend. read more

We recently took in an elderly dog, and brought her in for what I think was her first ever trip to a groomer. She has a VERY thick undercoat and I wasn't sure how she'd react to being handled by strangers. Everyone at Doggie Dearest was so kind and gentle with her. I can't believe how transformed she was after just an hour. She came out looking and feeling (and smelling) like a brand new dog! We will definitely be back!! read more

This was our second time working with Evelyn and she did a terrific job once again! Roscoe is a menace when it comes to the hairdryer but she has modified her style to accommodate and followed my requested instructions perfectly. Best groomer in town! read more

Doggie dearest is the closest I've come to my pip having her own personal stylist...talented, friendly, super responsive, never a wait!!! My dog loves it and so do I...it's a win win, oh did I mention the prices are totally comparable/reasonable which is crazy given the level of attention and care HIGHLY recommend! read more

Evelyn has been grooming my dogs for about 20 years, and I trust her completely. She's a graduate of the New York School of Dog Grooming, and displays that certificate on her wall. She does an excellent, thorough job for a reasonable price, and can handle problem dogs like my terrier--who, like most dogs, has some issues with getting groomed. I recommend Doggie Dearest to everyone; I've used other groomers in the neighborhood and been satisfied, but I'm loyal to Evelyn. read more

By Appointment only dog groomer in the East Village. They always treat my dog with respect and as a bonus she leaves looking beautiful. They can take from 1-3 hours for a full body grooming appointment depending on how many knots your dog has and how big your dog is. The best thing is they always accommodate requests for the trim. I like my dogs tail and face to stay long and they groom her perfectly! read more

Brought my two dogs, a beagle and a chihuahua, for some overdue nail trimmings the other day and the service was the best! I will always bring my boys here only. Thanks again Evelyn! read more

It's extremely difficult finding a good dog grooming in NYC that's reasonably priced and doesn't have a months long waitlist. I got an appointment next day when I called up and was quoted 85$ for a full groom (cash only) and a 20$ dematting fee. They did a great job, my dog looked decent even though he had to be shaved because of the mats. The last time my dog got groomed (at a different groomer's), he come back with a bleeding ear (they had nicked it) and razor burns, so I was very pleased that Doggie Dearest did a really careful haircut and he didn't have razor burns or nicks. I highly recommended Doggie Dearest, the people working here seem really nice and professional and I'm glad my dog was in such good hands. read more

Evelyn is simply the best. She came highly recommended and now I know why. She is so kind and my puppy loves her. I haves a toy goldendoodle and she comes out looking beautiful every time. She only takes one dog at a time so you are in and out in under 2 hours. I feel like I have a personal stylist. My puppy loves her so much she doesn't want to leave when I go to pick her up. Btw, her prices are very fair. I can't recommend her enough read more

Evelyn and her assistant Maria are amazing! I love this place. I take my little guy, Mikey there and he actually enjoys it! It's not very close to my apartment, but I don't mind walking there because I know I am going to the best groomer in NYC. They stagger appointments so the dogs aren't put in a kennel why they wait and are usually done within an hour or so. Not like other place that can take up to 3 + hours. read more

STAY AWAY! I don't usually write reviews on Yelp, but I had to this time because I love my dog and I want to make sure all other loving dog owners are made aware of this place. I just went to Doggie Dearest to have my dogs nails clipped. I left her there so that I could pick up some cash (they only take cash) and when I returned I notice black marks all over the leash (her leash also is leather and cost $50 and was now ruined). When I asked what happened they said that she bled and then blamed me saying it was because her nails were long. This scared me. I looked closer at her nails and she seemed to have bled quite a bit. When I tried to raise the issue to the owner she cut me off and told me to get out. She didn't let me speak. I responded, "you're being very rude." She said, "Yah, I'm rude, I'm a bitch. Now get out." I was shocked. Never have I been treated so poorly. I don't know about everyone else but this IS NOT the kind of person you should put your dog in the hands of. She obviously has some rage/anger issues and if I were you I would stay away! There are plenty of other places to go in the East Village, so choose one of them before Doggie Dearest. The irony is that the owner named her place after the movie, Mommy Dearest. If you're familiar, its a movie about an abusive mother...maybe not so ironic anymore? read more

Evelyn is the best! Patient, loving and always does a great job with my puppy Rocketman. He loves going to see her and always looks and feels great after. Cant recommend strongly enough! read more

By far, the best groomers in New Youk City. Probably, the world, as seeing as New York is the center of it! They have handled my two Yorkshire Terrorists very well, and they always walk out looking handsome. Walked out. I just lost the oldest, Scooter at 16. Every time we visited Doggie Dearest, everyone has a big smile on their face. When we pick up the little guys, they still had a smile on their face. I know my little boys, and they are very very kind, but hated/hate having their faces touched. They bite if one gets to close with grooming tools. They worked magic! Scooter and Jett loved/love seeing them as we do as well. I can't recommend Doggie Dearest enough. Oh, and the prices are more than fair. And this is New York City! The best! Excellence! read more

Evelyn is the only person I will trust with my dog. Recently more grooming places have cropped up in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't want to ever go anywhere else. In the past, I have taken my dog to more expensive, fancier places when I was in other parts of the city, only for her to shake uncontrollably when she walks in, and at times she came out with an eye infection or cuts on her skin. Although my animal will never "love" getting groomed, this is the best you can get! She loves Evelyn and the whole process only takes an hour, has competitive pricing and Evelyn can always fit us in. The best fact for me is that she doesn't use kennels! The animals (and owners) are treated with respect and my dog comes out looking and feeling wonderful. No matter where I am in NY, I will travel to Evelyn to get my dog groomed knowing she is safe and in good hands! read more

I have had a few nightmare groomers but Evelyn is just amazing with my furry baby. She has had her own bulldog in the past and knows just how to clean all of those wrinkles! I would never go anywhere else. My pup is clean and well taken care of in her company! read more

I took my 6 month old shih-tzu here for her first grooming and the woman did an excellent job. I asked her to try to keep the hair as long as possible, but agreed that if she found any matting in the fur that she could cut it shorter to get it out. I had tried to trim the hair around my puppy's eyes at home, but she got extremely upset and thrashed around making it impossible. I mentioned this to the groomer to warn her that the dog might be a bit tricky. Anyways, I got a text from the groomer right at the quoted hour that she was ready and when I went back to get her, she looked adorable and very clean. She was in a great mood and did not appear to be stressed out or anxious. The groomer did exactly what I asked for - kept the fur long, and trimmed around the eyes, tummy and legs a bit. The groomer was also very friendly and helpful giving me a few tips for taking care of her between her next appointment. It was very obvious that she loves dogs and my dog was very comfortable with her. Also, I have another adult shih-tzu who has had many, many groomings over the years, and I have had so many bad experiences with groomers that I am grateful that I found this place for my dog's first cut. I'll definitely be back when she needs another trim. Also, this place is cash only. read more

I just moved to the neighborhood and took my dog to Evelyn to be groomed. She was super responsive, friendly and knew what I wanted. My dog came out looking great. She said a time and texted me at the exact time saying he was ready. But I was late and she kept him for me and he was definitely comfortable because he was just hanging out when I got there to pick him up. Will definitely be returning and a regular! read more

Once again Evelyn does a great job. My Lady for got her house training And created a mess for Evelyn, a first for Lady. The grooming went forward and Lady looks great. Thank you Evelyn!!! read more

My dog is older and a bit nervous around a lot of people. The ladies here are so experienced and kept her very calm and did an excellent job! Thank you to Doggie Dearest! read more

Amazing job!! Our Casper wasn't the friendliest dog with his last groomers at petco. We were very worried about him when we contacted Doggie Dearest but they made sure Capa was in safe hands. He looked like a street dog before and WOW! Brand New Dog! He enjoyed his time there and we'll definitely be going back. read more

Evelyn and Alexa are truly the BEST groomers ever! I don't trust anyone else with my toy poodle Movie Star- i come all the way in from Brooklyn for these ladies. They do a great job, are very honest, and Movie Star is always super happy! :) read more

I cant stress the fact that i have been looking for a groomer for about 7 months. My baby Max is not the friendliest dog. His anxiety makes him bark at anything and everyone. Many times i tried to take him to the groomers i get a phone call in less than 15 mins asking to go pick him up because Max is not allowing them to groom him. The groomers in Doggie Dearest were aware of Max's behavior problem and made him feel comfortable from the minute we walked in. They were able to groom him and cut his nails. Very pleased with their work. Recommend Doggie Dearest to absolutely everyone. read more

The worst cut my 7 year old bichon mix has ever gotten, Later, heard their groomer scolding, almost yelling at a whimpering dog to be quite, rather than comforting it. read more

Took my poodle mix puppy here for first time grooming; granted he HAD to be shaved but the owner wouldn't even allow me a conversation as to how he would be cut around his face. He came out with a beard and his ears were kept long like a bob - the way old ladies cut their poodles! When I tried to schedule a follow up appointment I never heard back. Also, very inconvenient that she only works 2 days a week. read more

I took my dog here for years and never had an issue, however, the last time I was here my poor dogs nails were cut INCREDIBLY short and she bled all the way home. Ever since then its been a real problem to cut her nails. Grooming dogs can be difficult but there is no reason that this should have been done to my dog. I think this place can definitely be good but I won't be going back. read more

I recently moved to Brooklyn, and I am considering still taking my dog into Manhattan just to get groomed by Evelyn because I trust her so fully with my dog. I took my westie to her for 6+ years, and was always super happy with her work. She is professional and returns phone calls promptly. She is flexible and able to work in last minute appointments. And most of all, she does a really good job. I got lots of compliments on my dog's grooming. He is really weird about having his nails cut and it was always a big dramatic to do when he had them cut at the vet's. But she was firm and confident with him. I don't hesitate a bit to recommend Doggie Dearest! read more

Evelyn always clips my dog's nails on a walk-in basis at the best price in the neighborhood. She is efficient, friendly, and great with my dog. Would recommend highly. read more

I recently took my welsh terrier to Doggie Dearest and I was thrilled with Evelyn's work. She's fast and thorough. Moxie loved her! We will be going back for sure!!! Highly recommend. read more

It doesn't matter where you live, the service is worth the travel. If you live in the East Village then you are especially lucky and should only go to see Evelyn and Alexa. Treat your furry friend right and go to Doggie Dearest... read more

After another neighborhood groomer gave my puppy an insanely terrible haircut, Doggie Dearest took him with almost no advance notice and fixed the other groomer's mess. The staff is friendly, attentive, and great with animals (and people). read more

E. is the only dog groomer that didn't freak out my dog. She is seriously gifted. My dog was not only beautifully groomed, she did not cry when leaving her and she was completely normal when I picked her up. In addition, she doesn't avoid the block or have a total breakdown when walking by. This speaks miles. read more
