    Fresh cut and clean from Elijah at Sparkys pet salon

    Elijah is great. He has been grooming my dog Mia since I got her 7 years ago. My dog hates baths but loves Elijah even though he " tortures her" every time she's there. She is a drama Queen if I'm there talking with Elijah while he's working on her she will cry her face off. But if I'm behind the curtain and she thinks I left she's fine . She's always excited to see him and she always comes home looking beautiful and smelling fresh! Idk what he uses, but her face smells like blueberries and flowers for at least 2 weeks after her grooming! You can tell Elijah's love for dogs and all animals very quickly when meeting him and seeing his interactions with the dogs there. He was the first dog groomers downtown 15 years ago, and even though he has a small shop tucked away he survived the pandemic and street construction and closures in front of his shop. That says a lot for his customer base and repeat clients. Attached is a photo of my happy dog right after a fresh cut and bath!

    We love our dog groomers. They have always taken great care of our babies. Today they were able to get us in last minute and had them done I'm record time smelling good and groomed to a tee.

    Freshly groomed puppy!

    I love this place, I love the way the take care of my dog, they take them potty and let them play with other dogs during their time there. They always do a great job cutting my dogs difficult poodle hair. They always listen when I explain what I want my dog to look like, and they never disappoint. Finding a good dog groomer is as hard as finding a good hair dresser. This is it.

    Nala wasn't stressed about the groomer but still hates the car and me for putting her in there.

    Sparky's sure knows what they are doing when it comes to grooming. It's so nice to get my Aussie back properly groomed and not stressed out about a trip to the groomer. She is twelve so don't like to stress her out but coming back from the groomer she doesn't even look twelve. I would recommend them to any and everyone.

    Went back a second time to get my dog groomed. It was only when I got home I realized that he had 2 slices on his stomach from his haircut. I wasn't told anything about them. My dog was in pain for days every time he peed. Never going back.

    I told the owner, Elijah about it before bringing them in and I suggested putting a muzzle on the one dog.

    I recently left my position with Fetch after 3 years since I am starting to see the new owners…read morereally don't care about the pets - just about the money. They keep raising their prices on the clients and are turning over new dog sitters like crazy. They don't seem to be screening their new dog sitters well and many of my clients had been making pretty scary complaints about a few of the sitters (and about one in particular - Debbie), which the company somehow still hasn't fired. Many of my clients left the company due to these bad experiences. There are still a handful of good sitters who work with Fetch- if you decide to use the company, screen your dog sitter very well and go with your gut.

    PLEASE LOOK AT THE DESTROYED FOOD CONTAINER IN MY PICTURES…read more EDIT: Now they are trying to rewrite history. This is their reply to my complaint with the BBB. "Mr. Boyer stated over phone that our sitter Debbie abandon his dogs after her first visit but given the chain of events, there is no reason to assume that Debbie did not visit with the dogs on Saturday and then possibly left the door open that evening for the dogs to get the food. The next morning, a different sitter arrived and informed Mr. Boyer that the dogs had gotten into the food. The dogs were never abandoned." The hilarious part of this reply is that Debbie was also tasked to visit them on Sunday, 9/4/2016 at 9AM and 6PM and Monday 9/5/2016 9 AM and 6 PM. I happen to have the texts from Debbie, which I will post. She informed me that my dog pooped six times on Sunday, September 4th. He has never done this in his entire life, and at this point I would assume he broke into the food. On September 5th, when she was tasked with feeding and walking both of my dogs at 9 AM and 6PM there was no mention of abnormalities (please check the screenshots). There is absolutely no way she wouldn't have noticed my dog had broken into the food, considering they chewed the container apart and tipped it over. On the morning of September 6th, my trusted dog walker contacted me to let me know that there was an issue. I returned home from my vacation on the evening of September 6th (their timeline doesn't make sense). My dogs had no water, there was feces throughout my house, and the food container was destroyed. My trusted dog walker has since quit the company. I would reiterate, it took 2 days for the owner of the company to contact me after all this happened! When I told them what they owed me, they tried to weasel their way out of payment. I finally got them to pay for the "visits", destroyed food container, and the food. I would not recommend these people to my worst enemy. BTW Debbie still works for the company, they didn't fire her! EDIT Beware the new owners. I used Fetch for nearly three years with absolutely no issues. My dogs adored their sitter, and the communication was excellent. With the new owners things got steadily worse (a lot of dog walker turnover) and I was thinking of canceling but I had a vacation lined up and couldn't replace them until afterwards. Biggest mistake I ever made. When I got home there was urine and feces all over my house. To clarify, my dogs are potty trained and have NEVER done that before. The pet care provider (Debbie) had left open the door to the food, so I came home to a destroyed food container and my dog ate two weeks of food over the course of three days. He was so sick and bloated that he was having trouble breathing (see: http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/gastric-volvulus-bloat-dogs) and went from 35 lbs to 45 pounds over the course of one weekend. The dog walker was supposed to be feeding them twice a day, so she should have noticed an overturned food container. She even notified me three days before my return that my dog was pooping more than usual. The only conclusion I can take is that she was not providing the agreed upon service, because this problem is easily remedied by closing the door to the food. When confronted she claims that the door was closed, however there is no damage to door, and I have kept their food in the exact same location for years. I have been with them for 3 years, and probably spent at least 5,000 dollars (I have daily walks during work weeks). The owner has yet to contact me. Thus far they promised to replace the food and the container, but not refund the service. Meanwhile I can't go to work today because my dog is so sick he needs to go to the vet. I have filed a complaint with the better business bureau as well, I will update this review if there is resolution.

    I would have to agree with all of the other reviews here that Kristin is a god-sent and you should…read moreabsolutely put her #1 on your list in your search for pet care if you live downtown. Here is why. 1. She loves animals. She has her own pets who are more than well-cared for and she will treat your pet like one of her own. 2. She understands dog behavior. She uses cruelty-free methods of correcting your pet and offers lots of praise when they do something right. She understands that dogs are dogs and let's them do their thing. I go to her first when I have questions about my pup because she is so knowledgeable. 3. She goes the extra mile. If you live downtown she will come and get your pet. If your dog is sick she will take him to the vet. She will check your stove for you when she comes to get ur dog, it's like having a friend you know you can count on. 4. She is completely transparent in her business practices. You can actually come and see where the animals rest, where they play, what toys they use ect. I have been to many doggy daycare centers where they won't let you back to see these areas... um... sketchy? Her space is COMPLETELY puppy-proofed and she watches the pets closely. 5. She is incredibly flexible with special diets, medications, changing feeding schedules, ect. As a rule of thumb she only feeds healthy whole nutrient snacks like carrots and green beans, but if you want your dog to have something special she will follow it. I will not trust my precious Bazzy with ANYONE ELSE. We are so blessed to have Kristin in our lives!!

Both of mine love her, and she got the knowledge, skills and stamina to make sure my babies are in good hands at all time. And as you may know, it is totally not easy to handle two strong dogs weight over 90lbs each... BUT! she can totally handle them professionally and with love! If you are looking for someone who is professional and love your dog like you do, then hire Kristin!
