Our Success Stories

We have used Michelle's for grooming, boarding, and training and it has been fantastic. It is so nice working with someone who is so knowledgeable with dogs. She is more than happy to share advice and other tips and tricks to help me train my rescue pup. She has done wonders, and I rescued my dog when she was already 5 years old!

Michelle has done an absolutely wonderful job with our little Aussie Doodle! She grooms, trims, and cleans with great care and detail! We have been very pleased with her work!

- Kevin Roskos

Over Christmas, we boarded both our German shepherds here. If they could talk, I know they'd tell us they had a great time! No hot spots from separation anxiety like usual. But the main reason I'm posting this now (so late) is because we live out of town and I so badly wish I could get them groomed here!! Hands down the best grooming we've ever had for them. Also, boarding prices are great. Absolutely recommend.
