“Harriet always does an incredible job keeping him looking both handsome and adorable. … The one-on-one service really does give us peace of mind as Milo can get so nervous around other dogs and people he doesn't know.”
“Harriett is so good with dogs and always has their best interests at heart. She is a really talented groomer and we wouldn’t want to go to any other groomers now we have found her!”
“they run a one dog at a time service so my little guy doesn't get locked in a cage waiting for hours like others ive tried, the other half loved the little bandana that each dog gets”
