Matt is the best! He has helped me with all 3 of my pups.he's compassionate and gets the job done even with one of my most difficult pups. Never let's me down!

I just watched a groomer desperately try to restrain a dog that was about to run into the street, tackling him with no control. Looked like he ran right out of the van. Just be careful.

Absolutely best grooming experience! The quality of service is superior to any other in every aspect. We have 2 rescues (German Shepherd and Jack Russell- both easily get nervous) it's no longer stressful to have them groomed. We can't thank you enough! My only disappointment is in myself for not discovering Dogfather sooner!

Critical: Quality Groomers are chronically late.they overcharge with hidden fees. I will never use them again.avoid this business as it has fleas andice

Booking anything anywhere is the worst part, not with Dogfather. Submitted an online request and was booked in less than an hour! Kim arrived super promptly for our mobile visit. I was beyond nervous about my 7month olds first true grooming - being that apprehensive is his middle name. Kim did a fantastic job, he looks handsome as anything, and does not seem the least bit stressed over it. Payment was incredibly simple right through Venmo and Kim was able to book out next appointment on the spot. Overall, very pleased with the communication leading up to as well as the grooming itself.

I brought my two dogs and cat here for grooming. I was very happy with the grooming of my dogs but disappointed with my appointment with my cat. I had booked it months before to ensure my long hair cat would groomed for the summer months. I had to confirm the appointment twice by text. I show up with the cat at the appointed time and it was as if I didn't have an appointment.turns out the groomer in the Stratford salon was no longer there.according to them she left months ago.and no one ever contacted me.

As I stood there with my screaming cat.he hates the kennel.they told me that they could not accommodate me and the mobile groomer was booked out to July. That was told to me by the owner who was standing behind me. No solution provided.no attempt to fix their error. I left and while in their parking lot, I booked an appointment for my cat at another groomer. I love the groomer who takes care of my dogs but I refuse to pay for such horrible customer service. I have spoken to my friends about my experience and I am moving my dogs to another groomer. This could have been avoided if they treated me as valued customer instead of a bother.
