I love Daphne's Pet Grooming. Mario always have my fur babies looking good. This is my second fur baby he has groomed. The first was a Shih Tzu and she's no longer here but he KEPT her looking fresh and cute. Now he's grooming my doodle and still not disappointed. I highly recommend them!

I booked Mario S for dog boarding through Rover. He advertised having a large house and backyard, and that my dog would be alone. Last minute he had me meet him at this location - he was late - and check in the dog with the staff and himself. He did not respond to my texts while I was out on the trip except with…

I booked Mario S for dog boarding through Rover. He advertised having a large house and backyard, and that my dog would be alone. Last minute he had me meet him at this location - he was late - and check in the dog with the staff and himself. He did not respond to my texts while I was out on the trip except with one video of my dog being walked outside the entrance of the business. When I picked her up, again we met here last minute. He took my dog out of a small cage. When I got my dog she immediately pooped several times. It was clear she got locked in a cage at this place alone all week. Do not trust your dogs to this business or the cheap crook Mario S.
