When you walk in there's a small entrance that separates you from the grooming area. It seems really secure for the dogs inside.

She followed my instructions and my dog looked adorable! It's a bit pricier than what I've been paying in Vienna, but we will be back for sure.

Danielle is friendly and reliable and most of all - she does a great job. We always go with a short cut on our Maltese for ease of maintenance and Danielle's cuts are very consistent. Our dog always looks the same, which is a big positive in my book. Other groomers have delivered inconsistent looks when we simply wanted the same haircut. The convenience of the mobile service is hard to beat too. It's a little more expensive than service at a brick and mortar building, but it's worth it in my opinion. You won't regret going with this business for your furry friend's grooming needs. Highly recommended. ***In the post-grooming photo of my pup, he'd had a recent vet procedure that resulted in a stitch in his forehead and a partially shaved right leg. Danielle was careful and attentive***

Okay, obviously having the grooming van come to your door is incredibly convenient. What you might…read morenot realize, it minimizes a huge amount of stress! Most groomers do multiple dogs at once--and your dog sits in a cage in the meantime. Not great. Maria is working with just one dog --yours--from start to finish--so it's way less stress for your baby. I should also mention that Maria is the best, kindest, most competent dog groomer in the DMV. Full stop. If you have a small dog, don't even *think* about going anywhere else! Not only will your furbaby be gorgeously groomed, you will have the peace of mind of knowing he is being cared for by 1) someone who genuinely loves dogs, and 2) is also incredibly talented and experienced. I don't trust my little guy with anyone but Maria.

The…read moreteam here really understands anxious pets - they gave our nervous pup special attention and offered a quiet space to help her feel comfortable. However she didn't need it and was able to roam with the other dogs at the spa. Special shout out to Vee (Vi?)! She was super attentive and took the time to understand our preferences and make sure we were on the same page about the style we wanted. When we got home, our dog was her usual playful self (at other places, she'd come home stressed and subdued). It's clear they treated her with patience and care. The results were exactly what we hoped for! We've made this our regular salon.

The poor reviews I see here really confirm what I learned today: the owner has contempt for her…read morecustomers when they complain. To be transparent, I am copying my Google review here with added replies from the owner to really paint the picture. MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: There's roughly a $50 difference between a grooming that includes a trim, especially a dog that's only 12lbs, and that's too big of a difference to get it wrong. I don't have the time or patience to wait for someone to fix the poor job they have done, so it's just easier to never come back. THE OWNER'S REPLY: Thank you for your feedback. At checkout, you expressed concern about the price of the full groom, which had increased by just $10 since your dog's previous appointment in January 2025, nearly two years ago. She was groomed by the same groomer who cared for her on previous visits, and no concerns about the haircut were raised at the time. We appreciate your past visits and wish you and your dogs all the best. MY REPLY TO THAT REPLY --SENT VIA EMAIL: Instead of recognizing the bad quality of the cut, you went on the defensive and put it back on me with irrelevant talking points. Crazy. Look: I paid the stated cost, so that isn't the issue being raised. It's not getting what I asked for and the quality not matching the higher asking price is the real issue here. How are you not embarrassed? But back to your reply: it's now HOW you replied that creates a whole other issue: it's a bad look for YOU to not own the poor outcome. No apology and no offer to make it right, together with your moot response on Google, makes you look like an asshole. And what that costs you now is bad word of mouth: to ensure anyone I know with dogs stays away from your business. **** END **** FINAL THOUGHTS: Guess if you don't say anything WHILE INSIDE the store and only determine the bad quality LATER when you have more time, you're shit out of luck in the eyes of the owner. Jodi, look at your other poor reviews and how you treat people who speak up. You fucking suck at customer service. Your pride will be your downfall.

I booked with this groomer because her written communication looked very professional and so did…read moreher work, but the in-person experience told me it was Chat Gpt!. When you arrive, she meets you at the gate behind her house with a bonnet on her head without greeting you at all. Her plan is to take your dog and walk away unless you speak. The energy was so cold that I ended up speaking first because I felt uncomfortable. I almost canceled the appointment because something felt off, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. I should've followed my instincts and left. She also charged a $30 matting fee, even though I didn't feel any matting myself--but I paid it without questioning. She texted me at 11 and informed me that he would be ready in an hour to an hour and a half but wait for the next message. I headed to her house and once I was parked I received the exit text. I never received the exit text until 1:20 PM . She claimed she sent it at 11:59, but it never delivered to my phone until I was outside of her house. As soon as the message reached me, I thought I was completely on time. Her own instructions say she has bad service so if she can have bad service other ppl can too. She informed me that I missed the grace period. I explained that the message had just come through. Her response was, "Did you not read the entire message?, I told her I thought after I received this message I had 30 mins but I was already outside of her house. After she saw I wasn't going to pay an additional late fee she just told me to meet her at the gate. This is exactly why a business with bad service should call--not rely on unreliable texting. When she handed me my dog, her face was angry and she still didn't speak, didn't greet me, and had an attitude. And what concerned me most was that my dog wasn't wagging his tail or acting happy afterward, which is not like him. If she treated me that rude, I can't help but wonder how badly she treated my pet. I was shocked at the way I was treated as a new customer. Between the lack of communication, the rigid rules, the attitude, and the fees on fees. I said never again. I prayed over my pet and I would never go back even if I could.

Unfortunately we can no longer recommend Leila Knows Best for dog boarding. We were frequent and…read moreloyal clients for years, but the relationship changed over the last 10 months as Moe increasingly focused on how to extract more money from us instead of cultivating a continued positive client relationship. It started with less and less updates and photos when we boarded our dog. When Moe did provide updates it was usually in conjunction with an offer to purchase credits for future stays (which we did and later came to regret). Then Moe started asking us to pay additional fees for stays we had previously negotiated and paid for, going so far as to request those additional fees while he was already watching our dog. This behavior started to make us feel uncomfortable in continuing to use his services and more concerned about leaving our dog in his care. Moe's behavior did not present as someone thankful to clients that consistently supported his dog watching business. We had been loyal clients for years and, this year in particular, had already used Moe's services nearly every month with more scheduled trips through the rest of the year. Despite our concerns, we continued to use Moe's services since we had pre-paid for two more stays through the end of the year. That changed when we requested to reschedule one of the stays. Well in advance of the trip, we asked Moe if he was available for a week the month before our trip. He confirmed he was, but when we requested to reschedule our original trip to that earlier week and use the pre-paid credit, Moe stated he was no longer available. When we referred him to the cancellation policy on his website, he offered the credit, but wouldn't let us use it until the end of the year. We reminded Moe that in the years we've consistently used his services, we have never rescheduled, and explained the importance of rescheduling our trip. Moe subsequently offered to board our dog for the requested week, but wanted an additional $150, despite our pre-paid credit exceeding the amount of time we were rescheduling for. We felt hustled and tried to handle this issue privately, but Moe stopped responding to us. Unfortunately we have lost over $1,000 in pre-paid and unused credit--a costly mistake that we won't be making again. We're sad that our relationship soured in this way, but we could no longer trust Moe and would suggest prospective clients be cautious about doing business with him.

At Paw Spa, Gabrielle, the owner, was very patient with her and though I left her in a nervous state, when I arrived she looked relaxed and happy to see me.
