I have been coming ho for 7 years and have always been pleased with the quality of service given to my Golden Doodle Colby. Tim is a great groomer and his prices are some of the lowest around.

The entire staff at bark of the town is incredible, they always do everything within their power to accommodate our boarding needs for Boaz. The facility is top notch with cameras for folks, like my wife, that need to check on their baby every two hours. :-) Many people are intimidated by our dog but not the staff at "Bark of the Town!" They always give Boaz and bath and cut his nails before we pick him up (extra fee for the service.) Thank you to the entire staff!

They are great! We like them especially because they open early at 6:00 a.m. which works good for our schedule. They are great with our pets too!

Have been taking my dogs to Bark of the town since I was little. Tim does a great job and my 3 dogs always look and smell great. He is very nice and he cares about animals and the animals he works on. Great place and definitely best groomer.

Bark of the Town gave my pup a wonderful grooming experience. Normally, he is stressed and gives the groomers a run for their money. After Murphy's grooming session he was calm and appeared confident. Not only did they make him look great they also did not stress him out! Would highly recommend!

We have been bringing our dogs, both past and present, to Tim for almost 20 years. Great kennel with a wonderful staff. We are very relaxed when we are away and our pets are in Tim's care. We moved to Mechanicsburg a few years ago and we still use Bark of the Town Kennels and Grooming service. They are the best. We highly recommend them.
