Testimonials

Love Pet Coach! Staff is welcoming and attentive to our pups needs. I love that they know my dog by name and even remember things about her. We have utilized the following services:1 puppy training, puppy playtime, grooming, self-grooming, shopping, and the vet–all of which we were very happy with. I will say the puppy playtime was once a bit hectic with so many puppies, but the staff noticed this and started working on implementing more options. Absolutely love the self-grooming station (no mess at home!). They even have coloring and hot cocoa that keeps my kids busy if needed! Looking forward to continuing training and utilizing the services here. Thanks PetCoach!
