Frito loves going to see Anja and getting to his "safe place". Frito is an anxious dog and while I was trying different places, he was more and more anxious each time I took him for grooming. Doggy Has It is special and Anja's magic touch has created an environment where Frito is excited to go and has no anxiety. Anja's care and love of dogs is apparent the moment you speak with her. Highly recommend for boarding, daycare and grooming. read more

Anja is the best. She is the dog whisperer. She knows and loves the dogs. You get personalized attention in which she grooms your pups only and lets you know as soon as they are done. Anja is talented, caring and is an animal advocate. Even on her vacations she travels to underserved countries to take care of dogs there. read more

Anja is more than a groomer. She is a friend to all dogs. I have 3 very diverse pooches and she handles them all with ease - from the hyper one, to the shy one, to the senior who she readily admits is her favorite. They all have different needs not only for grooming, but emotionally. Her love of dogs shines through on every visit and they all come home happy and beautiful. She is very flexible with her schedule and has good advice on general dog care. Her prices are terrific for the quality of the grooming. She is a straight shooter with a heart of gold. I couldn't recommend her enthusiastically enough! read more

This woman is incredible. I always hated leaving my Yorkie at a groomer for hours at a time just to come in to find her waiting in crate. Anja only takes care of one dog at a time to make sure that your animal is getting all of her attention. The cuts are always superb & it's clear that all of the animals that go to her are very comfortable. She is quick & very reasonably priced. I found her on Yelp 2 years ago & we haven't gone to anyone since. read more

Anja is dog-savvy and caring with a good attention to customer service. Our dogs had a fantastic time boarding with her and she sent us a lot of videos and pictures during their stay. Definitely recommend. read more

I just moved to Elgin. I asked a local veterinarian who she would recommend to groom my special needs senior dog. Anja was able to get her in right away and I was amazed at the gentle, caring way she took care of my little one. It is very obvious that Anja cares for her furry clientele. I would recommend Doggy Has It to anyone who wants special care for the furry members of their families. PS...her prices are very reasonable too! read more

I've been going to Anja for over 6 years. There's a reason for that. I'm surprised she had a bad review as she is nothing but great with my dog. She's very knowledgeable and loved animals. Anytime I had a concern about my dog she would make sure to recommend where to take him and she would follow up days and days later to check on my dog, mind you she's a Groomer. She's busy because she does a great job and to ensure your dog isn't sitting there waiting with other dogs. She takes one at a time. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks Anja read more

Anja does an amazing job on both our dogs. I have been bringing them here for over a year now and she consistently does a great job. She is easy to work with and has a genuine passion for dogs. I recommend Anja for any type of dog! read more

I live in Des Plaines, but I heard rave reviews about Anja and Doggy Has It so I thought the trek out to South Elgin was completely worth it for my dog. I've had my dog groomed at your typical Petsmart and the like but no other experience has been as great as this one. Anja is an animal lover to the core, you can just tell in the way she speaks to you, treats you and your pet. She has absolutely reasonable prices and does great work. My dog is a spoiled brat and Anja was able to work with him just fine, and it only took an hour and a half. She doesn't cage the animals so they aren't going to sitting, frightened in a cage for 2 hours like how they do it at Petsmart. Her products are wonderful, in fact since I was a first time customer she threw in a blueberry facial scrub for free :) My dog's coat has never been as soft! I seriously was amazed at how different it felt/looked. I love the way she groomed my dog and will be coming back over and over! I even asked her what products she used so I can use them on my dog in between grooming. All in all, she is really helpful, and her grooming service run out of her living room beats any other store. read more

This is not an individual just grooming dogs as a job. This is someone who has worked with dogs since she was a child and has a heart for them. She's does a great job every time and we don't ever worry about their care while there. I'd give her higher than five stars is possible. Tina Sisko read more

I am new to the area and tried Doggy Has It today for the first time. The owner is wonderful to work with. I could tell she really cared about my dog and treated her so well. My dog, Sammie, is a little timid, and she was so great with her. She is very reasonably priced for all the services she offers! I'll be going back! read more

very nice groomer. Have had issues in the past with dogs getting water in their ears and coming home and then having issues, but not here. I was able to get an appointment right away as well. Person I talked to was very friendly and helpful. I will be back. read more

Anja is the best groomer. We travel far for grooming and boarding. She's truly a caring individual. A dog whisperer and an advocate for senior dogs. Can't recommend enough. read more

Wow! I happened to be there when the gentleman who said Anja did not do his dogs anal glands? You agreed with her! Why would you leave such a nasty untrue review? Shame on you! I read these reviews all the time and now will be more open minded because all it takes is one person to make stuff up like a temper tantrum when they don't get their way? Take your dog to a vet!!!!! It's prob an infection then you'd blame her anyway ! Go somewhere else! My dogs love her!!!!! She goes above and beyond volunteering and helping all animals! read more

Once you've gotten your doggy groomed at Doggy Has It, you'll never go anywhere else. Not only is Anja an expert at grooming, but she studies constantly to learn more about the animals she loves, and is constantly reading up on how the ingredients in the products she is using affects your pets, canine behavior, and offering advice to help make your life and your pets' lives happier and healthier. Throw in the fact that she is a natural "doggy whisperer," and you have a groomer who is truly like no other. If this review, and the other 5 star reviews don't convince you, also consider that she donates many hours of her time grooming pets in shelters so they can be pretty for adoption. This is a woman whose heart and soul is in her work, and that is a rare find these days. read more

Anja, owner of Doggy Has It, had been my two Standard Poodles' groomer for several years. She does a great job and is meticulous in her grooming. Recently we moved to WI and we needed to return to IL for a few days. I used her boarding services and was so thrilled at how receptive my dogs were to staying with her. She welcomes them with love and they return her love. I would NEVER trust my dogs with ANYONE but Anja. The boardiing facility is awesome and my two dogs share a large double "castle" (crate). While we were sad that we had to find a new groomer, we now have peace of mind when we need to board our pups. read more

Before meeting Anja I had never left my dogs with anyone other than family or friends. Now, I wouldn't leave them with anyone other than Anja! Before the first boarding, she gave us a tour of the facility. It's so nice and open and very clean. My biggest concern with any boarding facility was that my dogs would be caged all day. Thats clearly not the case with Anja. She has a huge playground connected to the indoor kennel area that any dog would love. My favorite part is the smaller, completely fenced in area for the little dogs. Anja sent me pictures and updates throughout my trip and getting that peace of mind was something I truly appreciated. I looked forward to seeing videos of them having fun! I also get my dogs groomed by Anja and she does a great job with that as well. She really takes the time to get to know the personality of each dog that is in her care. My dogs tend to be anxious and timid and Anja has worked with them throughout their visits with her. Can't say enough good things about Anja and her business!! read more

NEVER AGAIN!! When I expressed my dog needed his anal gland popped during the grooming process, she tried to explain it wasn't necessary and didn't do it. WRONG! My dog has been going crazy for over a week now with irritation back there... what a nightmare. I guess since she already got paid for the grooming she doesn't care. When I contacted her today and said he needs it done today (5 days after grooming), she says she has no time and he has to wait 2 more days...hmm of course she doesn't have a whole 5 minutes it takes to pop these glands. She tried giving me a whole run a round about how he has to be washed after the glands are relieved. Really??? The vet says NOT! Customer care NEGATIVE 5 stars!!! When you have a client with a problem you make it a priority and do whatever it takes to fix the problem, not make them wait 3 days with an extremely irritated rear end!! How extremely UNPROFESSIONAL! So much more could be said.. BEWARE, she only wants your $$$$$. Once she has that, you're dust in the wind.. and this woman was aware of my request for this service when my dog was dropped off! read more

This is the best place I have seen for dog grooming. Just took my dog for the first time, Anja is very nice and truly cares about the pets. My dog is old and has a lot of issues and she treated each one with sensitivity. This is definitely going to be my groomers for my dog from now. read more
