TESTIMONIALS

Kristie was awesome! Oreo, our 1.5 yr old Pomsky, is extremely nervous around unfamiliar people and places but Kristie was so patient with her, taking extra time and really made effort to make Oreo feel comfortable and at ease. Anytime we gave her a bath at home, she'd whine and freak out. However, Kristie was able to calm her down. Kristie is very professional, the place was super clean and dog-friendly, and the grooming was done to perfection!  When we picked up Oreo her fur felt so soft, nails neatly cut and ears cleaned. She looked amazing and smelled lovely! Thank you Kristie, for making Oreo looking so beautiful! I would definitely recommend Kristie, and Oreo will be coming back soon!  — Amy T.

Our dog has a heart condition and we have to avoid placing her in stressful situations. Kristie has a very clean, impressive home studio, and works on dogs on a 1:1 basis. This is the perfect environment for our dog, Khloe. She was completed within 90 minutes, and when I picked her up, not only did she look great, she was HAPPY!! Kristie, you are the BEST!  I would recommend you 100% to anyone seeking a referral for a highly skilled professional groomer! — Karen V. 

I think I have found my forever groomer. Kristie is a very skillful and patient groomer. My Maltese had matting on her tail. Other groomers usually cut her short to get the mats out but Kristie took her time and got the mats out without shaving or hurting my dog. I really appreciate that. She was so clean and silky when I picked her up that I thought it was the wrong dog. Her prices are great also and she is fast. We will be back soon. — Gina S. 

Wow, it was a wonderful surprise to find Kristie in my neighborhood on Yelp. Kristie is an experienced professional and knows her job thoroughly. I loved the fact there was no need for a check in, my dog had 100% attention, she took him and brought him to me without any wait. She has a fairly good  setup, she was extremely courteous and professional, my dog was very comfortable with her quickly, but best part is she made him look so fluffy and gorgeous, I would totally give her an extra star if I could.  — Rashmi K.

 

I have been taking our dog Liam to Kristie's house for boarding (daycare) for few years and my dog loves her. My dog is always excited to see her when I drop him off and he has the best time there. So, when Kristie started offering grooming services, I wanted to try her out and I was very impressed by her work! Liam looked so clean and fluffy and his nails were trimmed very well. She cut his hair exactly the way I asked and Liam looked adorable and happy! I would definitely recommend Kristie for your dog's grooming services.  — Crystal P.

We are so lucky to have such a professional, compassionate and friendly groomer here in the tri-city area. Kristie puts the safety and needs of our animals first. Our dog Jade truly enjoys her spa days and the time she spends with Kristie and the end result is marvelous. Do not hesitate to make an appointment with Kristie for your pet. You and your pet will be happy you did.  — Patti V.

Kristie is so wonderful with our senior dog. We adopted our dog during the pandemic so she has not socialized other than the family. Kristie has provided us with grooming and nail trim services both at our home and hers. Our dog loves grooming sessions with Kristie and we have a regular, standing appointment. 100% would recommend Kristie it you are looking for someone patient, kind, flexible who's really good with pets.  — Amrutha C.

 

We've been taking our dog to Kristie initially for pet sitting and we started to use her for his "spa"/grooming sessions for over 3 years now. She is trustworthy, timely, professional and did a great job every time. Our dog smells divine and has smooth fluffy hair every time he had his session with her. She also did the nail trim and provided anal gland extraction (upon request). Keep up the awesome work!  — Taka K.

Kristie has been trimming my dog's toenails for a couple of years.  I recently adopted a senior Lhasa, who was in desperate need of grooming. Unfortunately, Kristie was completely booked. A couple of days later she let me know of a cancellation which I booked immediately. Having just met Kristie at the first appointment, my dog was very comfortable with her. As I was not doing the pick up, (Kristie only does one dog at a time which is wonderful!) Kristie sent me a quick text to let me know my dog was done, the pick up had taken place, along with before and after pictures which was very thoughtful. I now have a totally new dog. She feels so good physically and emotionally by the grooming Kristie provided....and she looks beautiful. Thanks — Tracy M. 

 

I brought our 2 year old Pomeranian to Kristie and was SO impressed with her services! You can tell she truly enjoys working with animals. Madeline was not nervous at all and she came out of the appointment happy and looking sooo beautiful! We can't recommend Kristie enough!  — Liwen H.

 

I can't say thank you enough to Kristie. I took my dog Kona to see her to get his nails trimmed for the first time and she was amazing! We've taken Kona to other dog groomers and yes I admit PetsMart, and traumatized him to the point where he won't let us touch his front paws. We tried to clip his nails ourselves and he hated it. He would growl and try to run away from us. With Kristie he was calm and barely flinched when she touched his paws. Her calm, confident and overall friendly demeanor put Kona and I both at ease. I'll definitely be taking Kona and our other dog to her for more than just a nail trim in the future. — Pardeep J.

I have been going to Kristie for initially nail trim for Milo (my golden retriever) she is very quick while working. Recently I took Milo for grooming as well. I am more than happy with all the services that done and will continue to go to Kristie. The rates were reasonable. There was no wait time for grooming. I set up an appointment and picked him up once the grooming was done.  — Susan E.

Kristie has been doing my dogs nails for a couple years now and she is so great with them. One of them doesn't like his feet touched and is quite tough to handle. Kristie knows just what to do to help ease him, and works quick as to not stress him out. Kristie  has a love for all animals and is very knowledgable when it comes to them. Her rates are great and scheduling is easy! I highly recommend Grooming by Kristie.  — Beth H.

 

Kristie is wonderful & caring with my pups. When I first met Kristie I had an elderly & intolerant-of-stranger-touches Rhodesian Ridgeback. Kristie was respectful of his needs, patient and efficient. Scooby and I were both very happy. We've since had to say goodbye to our dear Scooby and have added a new rescued German Shepard to our family. Kristie came, and true to her calling, she bonds right away and makes our fur babies comfortable even if they are not sure they want their nails trimmed. My highest recommendation - we keep asking Kristie back into our home.  — Valerie K.

Kristie is amazing! Super professional and does an amazing job. My husband and I love her and so do my dogs. One of my dogs is afraid of grooming but she loves Kristie so she is actually excited to see her.  Definitely would recommend!  — Hannah R.

 

 

 

Kristie is so gentle and amazing with my dogs! She is meticulous with their cuts and so friendly and approachable! She came to our house which was a life saver for us!  — Marina M.

 

Kristie has helped me with two different dogs. She comes to my home and the dogs love her. She is precise and professional. I will never go to a grooming shop again. She is so much better. I truly recommend Kristie.  — Linda K.

Our 6-month-old Cavachon, Annie had her first groom by Kristie. Annie looked beautiful when we picked her up. She really liked Kristie and wasn't anxious at all. We definitely plan to take her back and get her dolled up by Kristie again.  — Giti P.

My dog, Mason, loves going to Kristie for his grooming. Kristie runs on time and the appointment does not take that long. Mason comes out looking so nice - nails clipped, anal glands done and the perfect cut. I highly recommend Kristie!  — Carmel M.

Kristie was punctual and took really good care of our 9 month old Maltipoo puppy like her own. We were very pleased with her full-grooming work and definitely recommend her services.  — Leena Y.

 

 

After several neighbors suggested Kristie on NextDoor, I made an appointment with her to have my senior dogs' nails trimmed. She is flexible, friendly, great with communication and most importantly, she is gentle with the dogs. :)  She offers house calls, which is amazing! This saves us a trip to the vet/groomer and causes less stress for the dogs. (Mine are not big fans of car rides) I will be having her trim their nails in the future.  — Tiara H.

Definitely 5 Stars for Kristie! We have been coming to Kristie initially for pet sitting. Then we started having her cutting Quinn's (my lab) nails because when I tried to do it, Quinn got mad and tried to bite me. However, with Kristie, Quinn is so calm and even gives her paws to her. Amazing! I highly recommended her.  — Widya I.

My dog is immobile. I'm so glad Kristie is able to groom him. Kristie offer in house service which make it a lot easier for my dog to get his hair cut/nail trim. Kristie is patient and gentle to dog. She is very caring and able to accomodate the dog needs. Good in communication, always response to text. She listened and groomed my dog the way I want. Highly recommended Kristie.  — Cynthia T.

 

For the past several years, Kristie has been making house calls to trim our dogs' nails and provide other necessary grooming needs. She is always extremely responsive when I text her. She is always on time for appointments. And most important, she is fantastic with our dogs! We highly recommend Kristie.  — Sonja H.

My vet retired and I needed to find someone to trim my dog's nails regularly. I was having difficulty finding anyone that could work well with a traumatized chihuahua. I heard of Kristie from a family member and thought I would make an appointment. From the beginning my chihuahua liked Kristie (no growling, no barking, ect.). By our third appointment my dog was eating treats out of Kristie's hand. Kristie is calm and gentle while remaining in charge which creates a positive response in our pack of four. Oh, and their nails are beautiful too :)  — Tracy M.
