Great experience, nice clean environment, friendly staff. This was my puppies first haircut. I was very worried as he was matted and didn’t know how his haircut was going to turn out knowing he had to be shaved but I LOVE IT! He looks so cute. It’s perfect. I will be returning.

We had such a great first experience! This was both of my boys’ first time being professionally groomed, and our groomer was absolutely wonderful with them. I was especially nervous about Asher because he can be very dramatic about having his nails done, but she was so patient with him and said he did great! She…

Aw! Thank you, Allison! We’re looking forward to seeing you and your baby boy again soon!
max flowers1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews max has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Incredibly kind and patient team that was a godsend for my nervous pup! My dog Molly had never been to a groomer before as she used to be absolutely TERRIFIED of all grooming implements. When I adopted her she would literally run and hide if she saw scissors/clippers and would shake and poop herself in the bath. After a few years of gentle parenting and acclimating at home, I took her to Carver's for her first real grooming appt. I called ahead to inform them of her history and that she would need to go slow and I think I was honestly much more nervous than Molly!
I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of service and the in-depth report card / story they sent with this cute (and hilarious) pic of Molly post-grooming! It was such a relief to see her calm and happy on pick up and she clearly felt safe and cared for. Miss Molly has had such a pep in her step ever since! Looking forward to our next visit! My only regret was my own social ineptitude and not knowing if tipping would be appropriate so I didn't tip, then I immediately realized that was probably a thing at groomers much like hair stylists--whoops!
Again a very kind, friendly, and empathetic team, with a nice clean open grooming space. Molly (and soon her big sister Winnie) will be looking and feeling great thanks to Carvers' Groomery! Thank you all so much!

We had such a great first experience! This was both of my boys’ first time being professionally groomed, and our groomer was absolutely wonderful with them. I was especially nervous about Asher because he can be very dramatic about having his nails done, but she was so patient with him and said he did great! She made me feel completely comfortable leaving both of them with her and took the time afterward to tell me how each of them did.
They came home looking and smelling amazing, their nails look great, and the little bandanas were adorable! You can genuinely tell how much she loves the dogs she works with. She even told me she wants my boys again at their next visit, which made me so happy! 🥹 We will absolutely be back and will be requesting the same groomer again. 🐾💛

I’ve always had positive experiences with Carvers Groomery! They are very kind and really care about the animals in their care.
We have an Australian shepherd mix and he is hard to cut/groom just because he has so. Much. Hair. They always do an excellent job with his grooming.
Dogs get a bandana every time they go and they give them a report card so you can see how they did after.
We love it here!
