Sequoia, looking like a star after her mini-groom!
Brigitte L.

I've been coming here for at least a year now and I'm really happy with their service. I had gone to two previous groomers and ended on a bad experience with the last one. I found this place through Yelp actually, and I loved the name! Everyone there is always sweet with my dog Sequoia, and they make me feel like they love her as much as I do. She used to shake from head to toe when she went to the groomer. Now she's still reluctant but none of that fear from before. She's a mini Australian Shepherd that weighs 40 lbs. I always get the mini-groom because I don't like to cut her long hair, but it does include a paw and sanitary trim which is necessary. I drop her off in the morning around 10am, and they're not super intense about being a little early or late which is really appreciated. They usually keep her for most of the day, which I also don't mind because I don't have to stay in the area waiting. I feel they do a better job when they take their time. She always comes home smelling so good, looking fluffy as ever, and with the cutest little butt and paw trim. They also always give her a cute bandana, and I've kept them for holidays and photo shoots! I've never had any issues with her still having knots, or not looking her best. They even asked if she had any allergies before giving her a treat, which was much appreciated because she's allergic to poultry and it's in almost every dog treat! Their shop also has some dog food and treats for sale. I recommend making your appointment early because they are very popular and tend to book out!

At drop off.

I really wanted to love this groomer, but they shaved my Goldendoodle twice that she looked like a rat. The first time I let her hair grow too long as she was a puppy and they shaved her. Not sure why they had to shave her to the bone though. They recommended I bring her in for mini-grooms in between cuts which I did twice which isnt cheap. Then then I brought her in for a cut, I spoke to the groomer for 5 minutes giving very detailed instructions about how I like it longer and NOT shaved. My 1 year old dog had two small knots and we agreed that this would be manageable and would not be shaved. I pick her up and she was SHAVED once again. I was shocked and not happy! I have owned poodles for 45 years in Maitland and never had a dog shaved like this. My doodle has poodle like fur and is more curly than wavy as she is 75% poodle and 25% Golden Retriever. I called and left a message for the owner. She called me back and told her the story about the major miscommunication. I said, someone should have called me to tell me that you were going to shave her. They said my dog didnt care for the detangling and so they shaved her. She had 2 small knots. I know, as I brushed her that morning. I could have got them out and I have no experience. Really disappointed as they are very nice and spend time with you before taking your pet. But just don't trust that they listen after this experience. They lost my business for poor decision making, not listening and lack of communication.

This place is amazing I have a 120lb black lab (aka all muscle and he is a big baby) he is not a fan of getting his nails and paws trimmed. He did not want to go all the way to the back so they came to him. They laid on the ground with him and comfort him while cutting his nails. He was able to still see me which is all that my dog wants. They truly comfort him. I will no go anywhere else but here. Definitely recommend

A picture they took of Xena!

This place is the best. They are so caring and loving to my Xena. Christine, the manager, has taken care of our Xena for 11 years. My schedule is hectic and they always do there best to fit her in. If you are looking for a groomer, you can't get any better than The Dirty Dog.

Waiting for her dirty dog appointment like  just get me there already daddd!!
Tim R.

This is the place to get your dog taken care of. Makes me wish i was a puppy when I see how well they are pampered at the Dirty Dog. Christina i believe was her name is the best. Simply the best. Bring your dog to Dirty Dog. Anything else is just shortchangin your pup.

See all

Unfortunately, this is not a business I can recommend if you have specific grooming instructions…read morefor your dog. Our Irish Setter has been groomed here multiple times, yet the services have consistently felt lazy and inconsistent. Most recently, the grooming job was extremely poor, as shown in the photos. Despite our dog having an established "file" and us communicating our instructions directly to the groomer, we were later told it was still our responsibility to ensure everything was explained again. After we called to express our concerns, they asked us to send photos as evidence of the grooming. Following an investigation and conversations with both the owner and store manager, they admitted the groom was not up to their standards and apologized, which we did appreciate. What was disappointing, however, was the resolution they offered. Instead of refunding the service, they offered a discount on a future appointment. That felt presumptuous, considering this experience left us with little confidence in trusting them to groom our dog again. They also mentioned that, if we returned, they would make sure a groomer who "specializes in setters" handled him next time. This was frustrating to hear because our dog has been groomed there multiple times already, and that option was never previously mentioned.

If you want somewhere where you can enroll whenever and there's not as much due diligence in acclimating new dogs to groups then go somewhere other than Ranger's.

I have been going to Ranger's since it opened and am very disappointed with their customer service…read morelately. Today, I went to have my puppy's nails trimmed after calling to confirm there was someone there to trim them. Once I arrived, I was told a mask is manditory, which I have abandoned and have none with me, but no one told me this when I called. And, there were no customers in the store. Then I was instructed to wait outside until her nails were done but there were no chairs to sit in to wait. While I was walking to the door to wait outside, my puppy escaped from her collar and ran to me, probably thinking I was leaving her. The staff restraining her became frantic and hollered at me to catch her. This only aggitated my puppy more and they had to drag her off with two leashes. I drive out of my way to support this business but they are too busy with other distractions to care professionally for their customers and dogs. If they require masks that no one else in the area requires, then they should alert customers in advance, manage situations, and provide a comfortable waiting area or masks for those without.

My cats had no problems getting settled on their first day, but one of my cats decided that she wasn't too fond of playtime and became stressed, sitting atop their condos and not allowing the staff to get her down. While this was happening, I was on a plane and had no access to my phone. The staff tried to calm my cat down and try to get her back in her condo. Unfortunately, she was stressed and didn't take kindly to being boarded even after being boarded before. The staff kept in constant contact with me, letting me know how my precious cat was doing and if she had come down. In the end, we had to have the cats picked up by their emergency contact and had to cut their stay short. With that being said, the care Miss Emily's staff had toward my cats (even while one was hissing up a storm) made me want to write this review, knowing that your pets are in good hands, even when things don't go according to plan. I would recommend Miss Emily's to anyone who needs to board their pet in Orlando, dog or cat, as they truly have your pet's needs in mind.
