Richard is the best. We have been his client since 2014. My Jack Russell then only one year and now turning 13. Richard shows patience, love and compassion. His grooming is amazing and he takes all the time necessary for the experience to be positive for the pup. My JRT Speedy loves him and is so comfortable there he falls asleep during the blow dry. His skills are unmatched by anyone I know. We love him and rest of his team. Lucy & Speedy read more

In July 2024 was gifted a yorkie puppy and was immediately overwhelmed. When I looked up it was March 2025 and though cute she was a mess . I called several groomers and all were busy . I called Richard and explained my predicament. We agreed I would be standby for any cancelation . I received a call and it turned into one of the best things for myself and Audra the yorkie . Richard explained she had to be shaved down due to tangles . He would attempt to retain as much fur because of the weather . He also explained Audra had a lot of anxiety and was extremely attached to me . RICHARD KNOWS DOGS . Richard gave me insight which helped me when dealing with my pup. I have been with Richard and his son since . I am delighted with the service I receive read more

Recently I took my small/medium very skittish dog Bear to see Richard at his grooming salon. Richard was so patient with Bear and took extra care with him to ensure his grooming went smoothly. At the end of the grooming Bear had come out of his shell with Richard. It was a very pleasant experience for both myself and Bear!

I never write reviews & am not great with apps. I took the time to write this because we recently moved back to Yonkers. Our Pup has only gone to the same place and we were nervous to use a new place. You cannot find a better place. It's a Father & Son operation. When I dropped the the little lady off while I was talking to the father the son had my pup in his hands hugging & kissing her. It was BY FAR the best hair cut she ever got. When I went to pick her up and they handed her off and I put her down she ran back to the father and son and didn't want to leave. (And I'm the best to her). It was great to see. Even if you need to drive a while. Go to this place. You will be very happy you did. read more

Need to update my rating on this place. My dog had an appointment yesterday at 9:30 and no one showed up. I waited half hour and called the shop 9 times. I didn't receive a call back and couldn't leave a message because their inbox is full. I'm so disappointed... and it was sooo unprofessional. Will definitely look for another groomer. read more

So like others who have previously left reviews, I sadly have to update (and lower) my previously 5-star rating as well. The owner was great with my dog and groomed him beautifully; that was never an issue. However, he doesn't manage his time/appointments very well, but then literally extends no courtesy towards his paying customers if they are a few minutes late, despite having a late policy. Case in point: There was a day where my dog had a morning appointment on a Saturday. Usually they call when he's all done, but that day I got a bit nervous when it was 5pm and I still hadn't heard from them. I called the shop multiple times, and no one answered. Eventually I got so worried that I drove the 20 minutes to check in on how things were going. When I arrived, my dog hadn't even been bathed yet. It had been HOURS since I had dropped him off. I'm sorry, but if you weren't going to get to my dog until after 5pm, why on Earth did you have me drop him off at 11am? For him to sit in a cage all day when he could have been home relaxing with us? Super annoying. I ended up waiting in my car out front until he was finished. Mind you, there was no apology, no discount, no nothing. Fast forward to the next appointment (yes, we went back, because the haircuts were just that good!). My fiancé had to drop our dog off because I was working. The groomer had called him the day prior and confirmed our dog's 6pm appointment. My fiancé confirmed he would be there. The day of the appointment, my fiancé called me because he couldn't find the groomer. Turns out his GPS had read the I in the address as a 1, which put him clear across town. He tried calling the shop to let them know (he was not late yet at that point) and no one answered. He left a message and then made his way over. When he arrived, the shop was closed. He called and called; no one answered, and it was obvious they had left for the night. He was only 15 minutes late, if that. Meanwhile, they have a policy that states if you're late, they will charge you extra, which we would have been willing to do considering my fiancé's mistake. But no, they didn't bother waiting, they didn't bother calling, they just left. And we suspect they hadn't even stayed until the appointment time considering they never answered the phone the first time my fiancé called. I received a return call the next day and was basically told my fiancé was a liar. That was the straw the broke the camels back. I had the timestamps on my cell phone from when my fiancé was calling me, trying to find the shop. I know what time he was there. Up until that point, I had considered groveling a bit so we could still continue to take our dog there, but after accusing my fiancé of lying, I was DONE. Honestly, they treat their animal clients like gold, but their human clients like crap. Several times at previous appointments the owner was bad mouthing other clients, acting as if no one who brings their dog to him knows how to take care of their own dog. He is snarky and two-faced and doesn't care about having any kind of good customer service. So my advice is if you have the patience of a saint and can put up with this kind of nonsense, then by all means, take advantage of the great grooming they offer. But if you have any kind of backbone, maybe just save yourself the stress. read more

I'm of two minds about this groomer. I'll readily admit that he does a good job with the actual grooming. Our spaniel mix always came out looking clean, well trimmed and adorable. But we've stopped going because the downsides came to outweigh the high-quality results. The owner does not hesitate to scold paying customers, which is not appropriate. A couple years ago, I brought our dog for her grooming, and I casually mentioned that, the last time she had been groomed, her "beard" was removed. The owner told me, "I would never do that." I said, "Yes, we had someone else groom her, but he didn't do a great job. So, we wanted to come back to the pros." I said the last bit with a smile and a chuckle, not even thinking about it. I actually thought I was complimenting his shop! He was visibly annoyed. He said, "Usually, I don't take customers back when they choose to go somewhere else." I was stunned, but my smiling expression didn't change. Was he joking with me? No...no, he wasn't. "I do this with love and caring," he said. "If she goes to a groomer that doesn't know what he's doing, I have to re-teach her. She could get aggressive or nip." He was basically laying a guilt trip on me--a paying customer. He almost expected an apology, it seemed, so I gave him a half-hearted one. But I was put off by the whole interaction. Again, it was just inappropriate. If I go to McDonald's, I don't owe Burger King an apology. The owner should be appreciative of our business, rather than giving a scolding for having used another groomer one time. Now, our spaniel mix uses another groomer EVERY time. read more

My dog loves coming here. Richard treats her like it's her own dog. Always welcoming and great bath and hair cut ty

I've known Rich for many years now, and although he's a little quirky, he has a big heart and is the best groomer I have found. He loves every animal that comes through his door, and does a beautiful job on my Chinese Crested Powderpuff. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who loves their pet as much as I do! Thank you Rich! Teresa King read more

Absolutely, positively the best groomer I've ever taken my dogs to! Over the last 5 years, I have searched high and low for a groomer like Richard. He was absolutely incredible! He was extremely knowledgeable about safety, the type of cut that would look great on my dogs, as well as how to keep them happy. After other groomers my dogs use to come home and be visibly uncomfortable. After Richard, they both were running around on top of the world. He is also extremely comfortable with you staying and watching his work. Couldn't be more happy! If you are seeking a REALLY good groomer that is also affordable, call him immediately! read more

My husband made an appointment for our 7-year-old German Shepherd mix, and since it was our first time taking him to a groomer I was nervous. Richard was so nice. We got there just a few minutes before he was ready and he even walked him out to the car to greet us. He was there for a few hours and my husband popped in and out to see how he was doing, the whole time they were great. I would highly recommend Richard and Professional Pet Grooming. Thank you so much for making our boy look great for the holidays! read more

Brought my Maltese poodle monkey in for his bi annual grooming- basically shave him down. The grooming salon itself was great. I was running behind and they were accommodating since I had an appointment in the city. I dropped off monkey at 1230 and then got him at 4pm. He came out looking adorable and the staff was nice. They called me to come get him and told me how much. My only gripe is that they don't take credit cards so make sure you bring cash! 5 stars for the Grooming itself! read more

Our English Bulldog has every issue bulldogs are known for. Jumping from one groomer to the next, even tried a vet, we couldn't find anybody our bully was comfortable with... until we met Richard! We brought our bully in because her nails were so long that it was hurting her to walk. When we tried other groomers, she would pull her paws away (at one visit caused her nails to bleed) and developed some sort of fear when people touched her paws. We began to lose hope. I don't know how Richard did it, but he has put our bully's fears at ease! When we got home to pet her paws, she had no issues. Not only was she well groomed (even her ears were cleaner than when the vet did it), she can now enjoy her walks again. The price was very reasonable for the services. What sets him apart from the rest is the attention he gives each client to make them feel safe. Richard is like the Cesar Milan of Westchester! Highly recommended!!! read more

Richard is quite possibly the best dog groomer I've ever encountered.

He is really one of a kind. read more

Let me start by saying that Richard is SO NICE. I really like the guy. He's a great person. But I have to be honest - I have no clue how this place has so many great reviews. I've been here 3 or 4 times, so I've definitely given it a fair chance. I've always made appointments for the morning right when he opens because I like dropping my dog off bright and early, running errands and then picking her back up again. But every single time I've been to this place, Richard didn't show up to open the place!! And I don't mean he was 15 minutes late. I WAITED OVER AN HOUR one time. The other times I waited about 45 minutes. Worst part? No apology, no discount, nothing. Also - I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Scarlett. She has a bushy tail and long ears if they're not cut. Every time I ask him to give her tail and ears a trim. Every time he doesn't do it. So then I have to go home and do it myself. All in all, I'm not going here anymore. I find it incredibly unprofessional to make me wait SO many times for SO long and not even give me a discount or anything (let alone apologize!). read more

Seriously if you are not taking your dog here you are missing out. My Maltese has been going to a different groomer since we got her 3 years ago. She would always come home depressed and would hate going to the groomer! I decided this time around I would help a new groomer. I found this one close to home and have it a try. I am now a loyal customer. My dog for once came back smiling, smelling great and perfectly groomed. I couldn't be happier ! read more

Update: 6/9/2016 Just took our Mojo to see him again (3rd or fourth grooming), with some photos of exactly what we wanted - a combo of previous cuts Richard had done in a few other grooming sessions..... He cut him EXACTLY how we wanted him. We couldn't ask for more! Thanks Richard!!! First review: Richard worked with our puppy today for 8-9 hours (yes, you read that right) on his first grooming. He's a petite, designer, teddy-bear--golden-doodle and isn't the easiest of conquests (as far as grooming goes). He was matted and beyond our ability to even brush through, much as we tried. We had, in our mind, what we wanted him to look like afterwards. We even brought Richard pictures of similar first-cuts from pups from our breeder. Our dog looked nothing like what we wanted. However..... Let me tell you what we did get. Our pup (8-9 months) with a ridiculously curly/wavy puppy/adult fur-matted/mess coming in got the full attention of Richard, undivided, for a FULL DAY, where he was patiently dealt with in stages as he was able, and came out sleek, fresh, De-matted and cute. Richard explained thoroughly to my husband that after this time we could grow his fur to a longer length. This first time had to be shorter. I felt the time, patience, concern, and care he took taking care of our pup was considerable and his cut was stylish, despite being shorter then what we imagined. I am bringing back my pup in 7-9 weeks again (already made the appt) and would recommend him highly. read more

I've been looking for a groomer for about 2 years and I just had the best dog grooming experience ever! To start with, the woman who answers the phone (I wish I knew her name) is welcoming, friendly and can't say enough about the groomer, Richard, who was extremely caring towards our little Yorkie mix from the moment he first interacted with him, until we left. I peeked through the window while I was waiting for our little guy to finish (I didn't want to interrupt the grooming) and I saw Richard talking to and kissing our dog. It was very sweet. When I picked him up he wasn't his usual hectic-self that he is with other groomers. He was relatively calm and happy, and the cut is great to boot. I'm glad we finally found a groomer that is great with our dog, great at cutting his hair/fur and a very kind person. I will be recommending Richard to all our neighbors and friends. read more

Called and asked information on pricing and their availability for my dog. The front desk asked a dog groomer on the phone if they were willing to take my dog and I heard the whole conversation. The dog groomer was cursing and sounded disgusted on taking my dog, for he already had 2 dogs on his hands. Hung up and didn't even bother, very unprofessional. read more

He is even open on Sundays!!! read more

Horrible treatment of customers. Will NOT give an estimate before grooming. Only said that if the dog bites it is extra. 200 dollars. For a bath shave and nail clip. When asked why he points to the board that shows 300 dollars for severe matting. My dog was not matted. He agreed. So why are you showing me that? My dog was anxious and he knew it. He said anybody else would have beat my dog. All you fur baby parents... you know what I wanted to say, right? read more

This review is long overdo! Richard is like the dog whisperer!! He is the best of the best and treats our dog Zoya like his own.
