On the more expensive end but worth it for the fantastic groomers and their attention to detail. Having a thorough consultation is a must for good results, but they have a good grasp on needs (bringing prior groom photos or other inspo helps too). A little challenging when it comes to hours of operation if you're working during normal business hours but otherwise a great experience. read more

Happy Dog - Full groom (West Highland Terrier) - Dog Walkers Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My dog has been coming here for awhile, since i've moved to the area, and this is the first groomer she is scared of. She never flinches, never has, until coming here. I don't know what's going on in this groomer, but my dog does not recommend it. read more

I have been going to happy dog now for about a year and I've never had problems, until today. Today they just canceled an appointment that I had made four weeks ago. I have professional photographs being taken this weekend of us and our dog. Her grooming appointment was scheduled on Tuesday and we leave on Wednesday. When I simply asked that I get a credit on my next appointment because they canceled on me day of The person on the phone told me that I am no longer welcome at happy dog because of my reaction and that I need to listen to myself when I speak. I think it is ridiculous that They require a deposit and they take a fee out of that deposit if you cancel on them the day of but We're not willing to offer that same fee as a discount on my next appointment. They explained to me that the groomer was sick and could not work and I explained to them that I feel bad for the groomer do not expect her to work through her sickness in any way shape or form however they continue to yell at me on the phone and say that I was no longer welcome at their salon because of the way I reacted. Obviously I'm going to be frustrated that you cancel on me the day of and the day before I'm supposed to leave on a vacation that my dog is a part of and that we have photos professional photos being paid for this weekend. Their professionalism or lack of Professionalism I should say is astounding, I try to give my money in my business a small business businesses but this is not a business that I would support in any way shape or form. At the end of the call I was trying to work out a solution and they actually hung up on me and said I am no longer welcome at their salon because I was upset that they canceled on me the day of. The owner claims I verbally abused her over the phone. this is simply not true the ONLY profanity that was UTTERED was "I knew this would freaking (enter singular cuss word here) happen" simply referring to the fact that I KNEW I couldn't rely on happy dog to make things right in extenuating circumstances. Absolutely NO yelling occurred on my end, if anything it was a frustrating tone with the ONE line mentioned above. The employee on the phone then proceeded to YELL at me for "cussing them out". I immediately apologized and reiterated that it was in no way shape or form directed at them AND it was general frustration at the situation. They have since reached out TERMINATING me from their business - as if I was going back anyway. Completely unprofessional on their end to not make something work in this special circumstance. I think it is only fair that we received a credit equal to the cancellation fee that they charge when a customer cancels on them. read more

We've been coming to happy dog for a little while now and have been pleased with their service and grooming quality. I've taken my dog here for teeth cleaning and regular cuts and they take care of him well. We had a little mishap with his haircut today and when I provided feedback, I was even more amazed with their customer service. I was assured that they will take care of the issue and we can come back anytime to fix the cut. The owner clearly is dedicated to improving their service and keeping their customers happy! Thanks happy dog. We are pleased and will keep coming back. read more

Cliff had his first professional bath at Happy Dog and we couldn't be happier! He also received his first nail trim with the dremel during this visit. When we picked him up he seemed right at home! He was happy, not stressed, and spoiled! We can't wait to take him back this week so he's fresh and clean for Easter! read more

Happy dog, happy life! THIS IS THE SPOT! Not only is this new spot extremely chic, clean, and friendly: their service is exceptional. I have a pug and rescue skittish dauschund, both treated as QUEENS, taken in for an immediate grooming and walked out looking beautiful and happy!

They are just all around great. They do exactly what you ask for and our dog loves going in and coming out. Their customer service couldn't be better. Definitely recommend! They are so loved, that I suggest booking a week in advance. read more

They change groomers too often and they do not inform you. So when you notice you dog has not been groomed but shaved down with clippers and you are charged $170.00 dollars, it is a problem. I complained after being a customer for some time and the owner tells me that it is not a good fit because she can't take constructive criticism. What happened to the customer, I would never support this business again. The best groomers are gone anyway and now I know why! Too expensive and the grooming has gone downhill. I would absolutely not recommend this business. read more

I am so happy that Happy Dog is so close! I called in a panic to get my little one groomed and they were able to squeeze us in. And I am so happy they were able to! Lucy looks AMAZING! and after the grooming she was so happy. The boutique is super cute and unique. They have a furever customer in Lucy and I ! read more

Katie is the best! Happy Dog as you can see by the other reviews, is really the best. They are so professional and most important of all, they truly care about your fur babies. That was my biggest concern when I was looking for a reliable dog sitter/walker when we moved here. Katie is very professional and organized and she follows your instructions to the tee. I get all worried every time I have to leave my two dogs but I feel reassured by Katie and her team. They're really great. My dogs love them! The pricing is also fair I think. I know there are some cheaper companies out there, but I would rather have a reliable and familiar person each time. read more

Would give 0 stars if possible. My dog was groomed here recently. An hour after my dog coming home he was vomiting and having uncontrollable diarrhea. My poor dog has never been so sick. I had to admit my poor baby for medical attention. I have yet to even hear back from this place regarding what happened while my dog was under their care. I would absolutely not recommend this business. read more

I live in Clear Brook Virginia and traveled to Baltimore to have my greyhounds teeth cleaned at the Happy Dog Boutique. I was completely shocked at how well they got my greyhounds teeth cleaned. I give them I will start taking them there for dental cleaning and grooming for now on. Yes it's a two hour drive one way but it is well worth it. The staff are all very nice and helpful if you have any questions. Thank You so much for how well you cared for my fur babies. read more

Katie saved my dog's life. My husband and I were both working in the hospital when I got call from Katie telling me that my dog looked sick when she arrived. I was unable to leave the human hospital, so Katie dropped everything and rushed my dog to the veterinary hospital. If she hadn't done that, my dog would have died. I will never be able to thank Katie and her team enough. read more

Happy Dog was fantastic! They watched our dog, Luna, over a weekend and I am so thankful. I was very nervous, having not traveled without Luna since before 2020, and they kept us updated with pictures and messages about her weekend. We got home and Luna was waiting for us at home, which is so much better than having to coordinate with a kennel or person to pick her up. Will recommend to anyone who needs care or grooming for their pup! read more

Hands down the best pet sitting service I have ever used! I had a last minute request for someone to visit my cats during a month long vacation. I interviewed 3 services and Carolyn was the most professional out of them all. Very trustworthy. I received daily pics of my little fur babies and they were having fun! Would absolutely recommend Happy Dog without hesitation. They are not the cheapest out there, but I felt comfortable knowing that they typically scheduled the same person to visit each day. My cats were well fed and clean. I even think one misses Carolyn! read more

This was our first time using a sitter service for our three cats. Everyone we dealt with was super nice and thorough. We received email updates along with photos every time they came to the house and they were very understanding when our alarm accidentally went off, our fault completely. Our cats were super happy when we got home and everything looked very clean so I would assume they maybe did some straightening up which is tremendously appreciated! We will definitely be using their services again the next time we travel! read more

Happy Dog has been the best thing that has happened to me since moving to Baltimore. I'm currently in grad school at UMB so I have a crazy schedule that changes from time to time and Happy Dog has always been quick to respond to my requests and help me out with my pup last minute when needed. When I'm at my internship and can't be home for over 8 hours it's been comforting knowing that my dog gets to go out and get some extra attention when I can't be there for her. I also love that they post pictures of my pup on their walk that I can see while I'm at work. I plan on using Happy Dog as my dog walker service while I'm living in Baltimore and will recommend them to anymore who needs some extra help with their pets! read more

We were absolutely elated to find Happy Dog after moving to Baltimore from Chicago. Our dog does not like other dogs and therefore must be walked by herself. Paige took the time to stop by and meet our dog before her first walk and learned all of her little quirks (she could pull an offensive lineman over to get to a squirrel). Everyone at Happy Dog is friendly and punctual. I always knew our dog was in good hands and never worried about her for a moment. We often utilized the pet sitting option (3 visits per day) and it was a great alternative to boarding where she would have to be in a cage due to her aggressive nature with other dogs. We even tried to throw Happy Dog a curve ball when we randomly decided to adopt a cat. They didn't even blink. We always came home to a "happy dog" and happy cat! I highly recommend Happy Dog for any dog walking/pet sitting services. You can tell everyone on the Happy Dog team loves what they do and they all truly care for each of their clients. read more

Katie and her team provided amazing care to my 2 cats while I was away. I received daily updates and photos which I loved, and they had never seemed so happy, relaxed, and healthy when I returned home from my trip. Highly recommend Happy Dog for anyone wanting exceptional professional pet care!! read more

LOOK NO FURTHER - YOUR FUR BABY WILL THANK YOU! I am not local to Baltimore and worked with Katie for a last minute temporary need while I had appointments at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I have an abused rescue (she has a bullet in her hind leg to prove it). Being used as target practice as a pup creates an animal that is in a perpetual state of fear. I have worked very hard to help my Molly overcome those feelings, but being out of her routine really makes life hard for her. After researching online and reading reviews from several possible companies, I decided to call Happy Dog. I don't have enough words to exress how great a decision this was for me and, more importantly, Molly. Katie was incredibly empathetic, willing to help, communicative about different options and suggestions which was very helpful since I am unfamiliar with the area. I was forced to focus on my own health for several hours. Katie came to my hotel and, I am not exaggerating, she may just be the REAL Dog Whisperer. Molly went with Katie with ease and while I was waiting for doctors and test results, Katie was texting me photos of Molly hiking, and swimming, and cruising around dowtown. I was starting to worry Molly wouldn't even want to come home with me! Fortunately Molly did return to PA, but I think it was more because she is not a city girl. Good thing Happy Dog wasn't located in a more rural area because I am pretty sure Katie is straight up affection competition. Seriously, this is a great company that genuinely cares not just about your dog - but about all dogs. It is not just a business plan that has been implemented. They are knowledgeable about different types of dogs and how to handle them. Katie runs a succesful business for a reason - she and her crew have earned that awesome Yelp rating. I wish they had an option that was higher than 5 stars. Yep, that good. Happy to be a referal if you get in touch with Good Dog and I can help you feel as comfortable with their services too. read more

Katie and her team are the best! I have been using Happy Dog's services for a couple months now, and couldn't be happier. They are professional and truly care about your pets. My dog loves them and I know he's in good hands when they're around. Also, I recently went on a very last-minute trip and needed to find a pet sitter with only a few days notice. I texted Katie, not knowing the outcome, and she was more than happy to help me out and arrange for my dog to be taken care of while I was gone. They are so eager to please their clients and have exceeded my expectations. Definitely use Happy Dog if you're looking for petting walking/sitting services! read more

The name of this company could not be more perfect! Well maybe if it included "Happy Dog-mom" too. I love that Katie texts me pictures of our fur baby during her walks and also texts me each week to ask what days we need. Great people and great service! read more

We can't say enough good things about Happy Dog. They're extremely professional and punctual, in addition to being very modern -- you can reserve online, pay online, and they send you photos of your dog on the walk immediately afterwards. Also, you know exactly who is going to walk your dog -- you'll meet them beforehand and they never send in someone else before checking with you. Most importantly, they take a very tailored approach to their dog walking -- we have a pup who because of an earlier bad experience with a dog walker was very fearful and nervous about strangers in the apartment. Happy Dog showed incredible patience working with our dog to build his confidence and comfort. They take the time to communicate with us in real-time regarding anything they notice about our pup, so it really is the next best thing to being home. read more

We consider ourselves lucky to have found "Happy Dog." On recommendation from a colleague, we've enjoyed their professionalism, courtesy, and obvious affection for our two pups. We receive daily updates with photos of their adventures. We couldn't be more pleased with "Happy Dog." read more

Katy and her crew are dependable and my dogs get so excited to see them...they are trustworthy and truly amazing!

Great dog walking service! Katie is very easy to contact and flexible with setting up appointments. My dog Odin loves all of their walkers and they do a great job of taking care of him and all of his needs. No need to look anywhere else! read more

I can't say enough good things about Happy Dog. I had a family emergency and contacted Katie 2 days before I had to leave having never worked with them before. She answered my call immediately, came over to meet us the next day, and took care of my lovey the entire weekend (working him in since it was so last minute). I got updates with pictures every walk so I knew he was being well taken care of. I highly recommend them and will certainly be using them again! read more

truly an incredible place- they do it all! grooming, teeth cleaning, vet consultation, walking/boarding, and a great retail shop to boot! my dog got an incredible spa treatment and came out smelling like a rose! the people who work here are SO kind and 100% dog lovers. read more

I am very picky when it comes to my dogs ... and especially who takes care of them in my absence! After interviewing multiple dog sitters in Baltimore, we decided on Happy Dog after having our consultation and meeting Katie. My fiancé and I have 2 senior greyhounds and pit bull who have many needs and Happy Dog always does a wonderful job of taking care of them. I love the fact that pictures of the dogs are posted immediately after each visit. You also earn points for each dollar you spend which can be redeemed for free visits. Katie and the Happy Dog staff are so pleasant to work with and truly care about our dogs. We couldn't be happier! Highly recommend Happy Dog! read more

Happy Dog has provided my husband and I with peace of mind when we are away or at work. They take care of our two Italian Greyhounds just as we would! This company is reliable and friendly. Their website makes it easy to schedule appts, see adorable pictures of your pets during their visit, and communicate with the owners. Couldn't be happier with their service! read more

Just moved to the area and contacted Happy Dog to walk our little guy. Katie answered quickly and came over to meet our dog and scheduled our first walk the next day. This day was the first time I was heading out and I completely forgot to leave out the lock box with the key. Katie went above and beyond by going to my husband's work downtown to get his key and to be able to let our dog out. She even put the lock box out on the door so he could get back in after work. So impressed with this company and thankful to have them around! Will be using them from here on out for sure! read more

Katie and Michael - my dogs' primary caretakers - are truly amazing. I love that HD is fully licensed and bonded and that they took the time to get to know me and my dogs to make their interactions more productive. Also, what I really love is the HD journal that allows me to see photos in near real-time of their walk, having their treats and chasing squirrels :) I have used HD for weekly day-time walks and overnight sitting and I've never worried about my boys (2 dogs, 8 and 12) - ever - and for me that's unheard of. read more

I'm currently living in Baltimore having taken a travel assignment here, and wanted to take a quick trip up to NYC. As most of the stuff I wanted to do there wasn't dog friendly, and I don't really know anyone in the area, I turned to Happy Dog to take care of my sweet girl, Sasha. I am so glad I did! Sasha LOVED Katie from the first moment, and I could tell Katie really loves what she does! I got picture updates for each visit, which both made me feel better about having to leave her, and let me see how much fun Sasha was having! She also followed my instructions to the letter. I could not be happier. If you need dog sitting or dog walking, call Happy Dog...you won't regret it! :) read more

We love Katie and her team at Happy Dog. When we moved to Baltimore, Katie was there on day one to meet our puppy and made us feel so comfortable and assured that we did not need to worry. They are so flexible in scheduling and I love the daily pictures of our little guy. I can't say thank you enough. Anyone that is looking for someone to take care of your furry loved ones, Happy Dog is the best in town! read more

Happy Dog has done an incredible job with my pup. Always on time, keeps me in the loop and he is happy when I get home from work. Katie and her team are true professionals and several times they have gone above and beyond when I was in pinch. Highly Recommended. read more

Happy Dog is amazing. Reliable. My girls like walking with them. Flexible. They do additional walks when needed without any issues. I recommend them to all dog lovers. read more

Happy Dog is so wonderful, I don't know where to begin. Simply stated, they are professional, flexible, and extraordinarily caring. Each month, you get an invoice for the walks that you have scheduled. Please know that this does not mean you can't switch the days of your walk, call at the last minute, or alter the time (I've had to do that numerous times because of work)! In addition, they post pictures of your dog within an hour of the walk. It's reassuring and fun getting to see your dog out with them. Initially, I thought the flexibility was my favorite thing about Happy Dog, but really it's the care. My dog absolutely adores them! Several folks in the neighborhood have meant my pup out with the dog walker and commented how great they are. The thing that really has distinguished them for me is their willingness to help in different situations. My dog has an extremely sensitive stomach and has had an accident (on more than one occasion) inside his crate or in the house. Without any fuss (or extra charges), they clean it up, make sure he's okay, and notify my promptly. I'm not sure how I managed without them, but I know I don't want to go back to that! read more

What a great service Happy Dog provides! Their team is flexible, will accommodate you and your needs, and take great care with my dog! I can't imagine what I would do without their service. read more

We have used many dog walkers over the years and we are by far the most pleased with Happy Dog. They've been taking care of our two dogs for the past couple years and I wouldn't trust anyone else. They are so responsible and reliable. There's never been a time that they've been unavailable to walk our dogs or work with our schedule. This past week they went above and beyond and I just have to share how happy we are. We have been experiencing water in our basement and after hearing about severe storms while we were away, we asked them to take a look. Michelle not only did that, she shop vac'd the water and sopped up the mess. Then she met our contractor with a key! As much as I'd like to keep them to myself I just can't keep this professional, caring company a secret! read more

Lalaine is very professional and caring. I left my rabbit and guinea pig in her care while traveling for work, and had to keep pushing the date of my return back farther and farther. Happy Dog ended up caring for my companions for almost an entire month! The company was understanding and professional about the changes and my rabbit and Guinea didn't seem to miss a beat while I was gone. I was very pleased with the service and recommend Happy Dog to anyone looking for a petsitter or considering extra midday care for their companions while working long days! read more
