Customers frequently praise the grooming quality, friendly staff, and reasonable pricing for services including full grooms, nail trims, and boarding. However, several low-star reviews highlight significant delays in appointment completion, a lack of proactive communication regarding status updates, and instances where the final haircut did not match the requested style or included errors like uneven lengths.

My dog Esme stayed for 3 days . She was well cared for . The people great the prices reasonable. A friend recommended them to me I’m glad they did
I highly recommend this groomer. I bring my 50-pound Goldendoodle here, and they always do a fantastic job. To be honest, I don't brush her nearly as often as I should, but they never complain and always handle her coat with patience. They are also incredibly accommodating with my schedule, even letting me drop her…
We take our girls there when we head out on holidays. They treat our girls very well.
I took my dog Snuggles in there not too long ago and she came out with the worst haircut I have ever seen. None of the length was the same, they chopped up her face and we were not happy at all. The lady who helped us was also extremely rude and had no customer service which is insane working at a groomer. Hopefully you do better next time.
Abbie gets so excited when she hears Barker Shoppe. She loves being able to play all day instead of sitting at home alone. Its great that she gets groomed at a place she is used to going to every week.
Archie (golden doodle) & Goose (aussie doodle) have been coming to the Barker Shoppe for months. We are always super impressed with their haircuts & have clean they smell!! We take them every 4 weeks & alternate between a full groom & a face/feet/fanny appointment.

Great service. My dog looks great after their work.
Jamie did an excellent job. Our boy can see and his paws are neat & tidy.

They always do a great job with grooming and nail trimming
My appointment was at 1pm for a miniature poodle groom and cut. I picked up my dog at 4:45pm and no, they did not call me. I went in at 3:45 to see the status and I was told “oh we had a Great Pyrenees come in that took awhile.” I’m wondering why I had an appointment for my dog to sit in a kennel for 3 hours. I scheduled grooming, not boarding, and I feel like I got boarding tacked on because they overbook and underdeliver. I have a strong feeling he hadn’t been touched since I dropped him off and I should have just asked to take him home then. If you’re cool with your dog sitting in a cage and coming home dying to go to the bathroom, get a drink, and being a little unsettled, here’s your place. Edit: I was contacted by them and they admitted their prices posted online do not reflect their actual pricing. Additionally, they admitted to being overbooked and understaffed and that my dog “wasn’t technically” left, but that doesn’t explain his behavior and need to urinate and drink when I picked him up. They offered to refund the difference but I doubt we will see that.
I highly recommend this groomer. I bring my 50-pound Goldendoodle here, and they always do a fantastic job. To be honest, I don't brush her nearly as often as I should, but they never complain and always handle her coat with patience. They are also incredibly accommodating with my schedule, even letting me drop her off before normal hours. She always looks great when I pick her up, and she's actually happy to go there. It's a huge relief to find a place that is reliable, convenient, and great with dogs.
Treat the dogs amazing! Can't go wrong here
We take our girls there when we head out on holidays. They treat our girls very well.
