The employees are friendly. Making an appointment for a week out is easily done. Out of all the times we have been there there haven't been any issues. Today was a bit different. Mugsy was shaved and a small cut was on his body. No mention of this to me. I found it after going over him when we got back home. The owner contacted me, apologized and did what she could to provide future service for Mugsy. If there is a problem bring it to the manager or owners attention and they will rectify the issue within reason.

I have never had anything but an awesome experience with Miss Gail!!! Boomer always comes home…read morefrom Miss Gail's smelling great and looking cute as a button!! Sometimes around holidays he even comes home with a scarf suitable for the occasion ;) Miss Gail has been grooming my Boomer puppy for ALL of his 15 years (except his first grooming before I met her, but more on that in a minute). She is AWESOME!! Very friendly. Very knowledgeable. Boomer loves her! Any time I put him in the car to go anywhere else he gets nervous. But when I tell him we're going to Miss Gails and start driving in her direction he calms down. She's got a cute little fire hydrant outside in her yard for the dogs to use before and after they go inside. I always make sure I give him a chance to use it before taking him in. And he has never gotten sick after being there. One time when he was really little I took him to Petsmart for his first grooming before I knew Gail. He threw up when he left there. That's when I decided not to use Petsmart and sought out a groomer with a personal touch. Miss Gail was exactly who I was looking for! Miss Gail's voice recording specifically states that for the SAFETY OF THE DOGS, she may not always be able to get to the phone so please leave a message. I would much rather leave a message than have her risk the safety of my dog while he's up on the table! Miss Gail's rates have always been very competitive and have remained constant over the many years I've been using her services, despite rising costs and a crumbling economy. In fact, I think I've been paying the same rate the entire 15 years! She does not expect a tip and is always very humble about accepting what little I give her over the holidays. Many times she doesn't even know how much I am paying her, as she is busy working with a dog when I come in, write a check, and lay it on the counter. Again, for the safety of the dogs she does not leave one unattended while working on them, even for a second! Miss Gail has been very accommodating to my schedule over the years. Boomer has a standing appointment every 6 weeks as does most of her clients. That means he's there with the same dogs each time. That makes it less stressful for him as even though he's around dogs not in is family, they are familiar to him. Throughout the course of Boomer's life I have had 4 children. Miss Gail even worked around my kids' nap schedule when they were little! And when I was in the hospital having my third child my mother in law was VERY VERY late picking Boomer up (HOURS). Miss Gail stayed at the shop and waited for her to come get him. She was very understanding and didn't even charge me extra for having to wait around. I felt HORRIBLE that it happened and when I apologized she told me not to worry it was no big deal. And now that Boomer is very old and sick she is even more accommodating. She makes sure to take care of him early so I can come get him and bring him home so he's not there too long. She calls me as soon as she's done with him so I know he's ready to be picked up. I will miss Gail very much once Boomer is no longer with me as my other dogs are of the shedding variety....although she will STILL be my go-to gal for nail trimmings and the once a hear shaving of my beagle ;)

She is receptive to our ideas as to how we want our pups to look even if it's not traditional or blends various styles. She even recommended a cool coloring idea for our Chinese Crested, Eddie, and he got a splash of blue which was fun. The prices are incredibly reasonable and she is always willing to work with your schedule. Nice early drop off time and she lets you know when your dogs are ready as soon as they are done.

We've brought our standard poodles to Audrey for several years. They are always excited to see her,…read moreand we have been delighted with her results. Out normal appointment is wash, cut, and blow with a mani/pedi. It takes a full two hours - sometimes a bit longer to complete a Standard Poodle. Normally, we specify details of our poodle cuts. The most recent time however, we asked Audrey to style what she thought best. The result was gorgeous - something we'd not have thought of. She is an artist. Audrey takes only one dog at a time, so she's completely focused on each. The studio is located in her home's lower level with professional equipment and always clean. She likes the color purple. Audrey has her own dogs and is obviously a dog lover. This, IMO, is a characteristic that sets her apart from other groomers who do the work mechanically on a supervised deadline. TIP: Reserve an appointment ASAP. Audry's appointments are normally booked weeks in advance. ADVICE: Do not let your dog free roam the fenced backyard. One of the sheds is a chicken coop that gets our poodles super excited. The chickens definitely do not like barking and jumping dogs at their chicken wire fence.

It was one thing after the other, either they didn't have time for our boy, because of his size (Remmy is a 115lb Bernese Mountain Dog) or they weren't taking appointments due to covid. We were SO happy and excited to see we could book online, but they were able to fit him in *that* week! Mariah spent so much time making sure Remmy looked and felt his best. She detangled his dreds & matts, washed him up, and gave him a de-shed treatment. His coat has never looked better. We HIGHLY recommend Mariah at Pawsitively Purrfect a million times over!!

Rachann the owner and her manager Michelle are great working with and communicating. When Max passed recently at 11 due to cancer they sent us a very nice card that meant so much. Maisey (4) has only ever known life with Mac by her side. This caused nervousness, confidence issues , and upset tummies for a few weeks. They were nice taking her up day camp with no notice and seeing that she got a bland broth and rice diet to help. Now her new little sister Cammy (10 months old) a rescue from North Carolina is getting her shots and stuff to clear the way for visits. Everyone from their staff can't wait to meet her. What my wife and I love is that they love our puppies nearly as much as we do. I wanted to say thanks so much for your care and compassion with Max! It made an impossibly hard time a bit easier knowing that he impacted their lives and to know they were sad as well. If you anywhere near Mt Airy and need day camp or boarding it's worth the extra ride. We pass 3 places and the way and had multiple bad experiences before we found Mariah Belle. Thank you and Regards! John & Kaye

This is the best place ever! Look no further! Fun, fun, fun!…read more Based on my vet's personal recommendation, I've been taking my high-energy Vizsla here for over a year since he was a pup. Our neighbors all trust Mariah-Belle with their dogs too. My dog loves the Day Camp activities. I've also boarded my 11 year old terrier and young Vizsla for long weekends. The staff catered to both their needs of spoiling and medicating my older dog and playing with my young dog. The owner and staff all truly love dogs! It shows in everything they do! You can really tell when your dogs jump out of the car and run to the staff! They truly care! Another reviewer commented on an illness outbreak earlier in the summer. If you take your dog to a park or a kennel, you are taking a risk. My young dog did pick up a virus only once in the last year. It wasn't kennel cough. And my older dog didn't catch the virus. It stunk to see him sick, but we humans pick up various colds from time to time. That said, I've never seen an owner be more diligent in resolving a problem. The staff immediately called to check on my dog. The owner called all the local vets to identify the type of virus and then immediately implemented a specific cleaning regimen to kill that particular virus. I've been kenneling my dogs over the last 25 years at a number of places. I trust Mariah-Belle Manor! My dogs love absolutely love going to Mariah-Belle!

Additionally, they are a "breeder of merit" with the AKC. We opted for "pick of the litter" as a gift for my 3 year old son's 4th birthday. We drove 4 hours with our 2 small children and were given a choice of 2 males. We chose a chubby cream lab with black eyeliner and a black tummy. We were told to come back 2 weeks later to pick up the dog. Two weeks later I arrived, I was given a much smaller dog who was being treated for suspected giardia. Believing it couldn't be possible someone would bait and switch me, I left with the puppy. I had a nagging feeling this wasn't the dog my son chose, so I pulled over and looked at his tummy, it had 0 black on it. His face didn't have the same wrinkles and he was much smaller than the dog we chose. Which, given 2 weeks had passed-he should have been much larger. I brought the dog back, received a refund quite promptly with no fight. I suspect there is some fraud afoot here. Given the bait and switch I experienced-I think dogs are being bred by inferior bloodlines and passed off as offspring of champions.
