The Barkery

Do not waste your time or money on this place. The owner (Kimberly) is very disrespectful, dishonest, and out right rude. I will never recommend her or this place to anyone. I have been a client here for over two years that I take my FOUR DOGS to get groomed at. The first mistake that took place was I took my Aussiedoodle there it took her THREE DAYS, to complete a summer cut. First excuse they didn’t get the shampoo out, second excuse was her hair didn’t dry, and the third excuse was she didn’t have one. Fast forward four months, I have two other aussiedoodles that I take to her. As I explained in person and over the phone, I understand they have mats and I am willing to pay additional please let me know what I need to do. It took her FOUR DAYS to NOT even get the job completed or to communicate they needed to be taken else where there for she wasted my time, gas, and money. As she used every excuse in the book as to why they were not groomed. This also happened the weekend of Memorial Day. Which left me on a Thursday night getting a call at 7:30 pm saying we cannot complete your dogs. I had to had them to another groomer that took pity on me and my dogs. The first photos of their hair messed up was her attempt to trim them. The second photos of them cleaned up is a job VERY WELL RESPECTFULLY DONE by BARKEYS BOUTIQUE GROOM SALON. They are wonderful. Do not waste your time and money here. Kimberly, you are a liar, a manipulator, and cause your LOVLEY staff unnecessary drama. You ask them to lie about your where abouts. You also do not return phone calls as I have been calling over a week now. Once again. This place is pathetic and Kimberly is a disgrace. Edit: these are also inside dogs Edit: the owner also wanted to make a personal post about me on her Facebook page so I wanted to share with you all the type of person you are dealing with. I also gave the owner, Kimberly, a chance to apologize before I posted anything and she did not want to take ownership of the situation.

This place is disgusting , they don’t care for the dogs , they don’t follow feeding schedules , and they leave the dogs in kennels till they use the bathroom on themselves and will leave it like that for hours. They also charge an extra fee if you don’t bring your own dogs food but don’t provide food, they feed them with other boarders food supply. They also had me working there on the weekends, so I’d be there by myself. I came into work one day and they had let a hobo move Into the attic , who quite literally asked me to go in the woods and do drugs with him. The place is overall terrible and the owner literally drinks at work

AVOID. We left our dog early in the morning and heard nothing until 4 PM along with no one answering the phone. My wife arrived to find that the place was abandoned with note stating the employee had left. Thankfully we were able to retrieve our dog, but many others were left inside. Hopefully their owners will be able to collect them as well.

Our dog was groomed on July 15th. He came home shaved to the skin in some spots with patches of untouched hair in others. Shaved eyelashes on one eye, hair too long on the other. Shaved to the skin behind one ear, big puffs of hair on the other. Shaved to the skin up his front leg, big patch of hair on the elbow. It's just so splotchy. He had been groomed the Monday before we dropped him off, so he was wearing a cute bandana. They removed it, which was a bummer because he looked so cute wearing it. They also charged the "large dog" rate for our barely 40lb pup.

Read the reviews and was scared as… anyway, they did a good job. My standard poodle has been about 3 times and each time he came back as expected. They are nice people and communicate well.
