Our dog Shoresy is a Golden Doodle, and he is full of energy. Before Maddie arrives, she always texts us, and I tell Shoresy, Barkbus! And we run to look out the window. After he sees the Barkbus, he hurries (with me holding on to his leash) to greet Maddie. He loves Maddie! And he enjoys being with Maddie in the Barkbus.I am sure it is not easy to groom Shoresy. His fur keeps growing, and can get matted easily. Shoresy will often refuse to let me brush his tail. But Maddie takes her time, and always tells me that Shoresy is so well-behaved! It is always one of the highlights of his day! And he always comes back in the house looking so beautiful, with soft and beautiful smelling fur.

Thank you for the kind words, Sherry! We’re so happy to hear that Shoresy loves his Spaw day with Maddie! She absolutely adores her time with him and always makes sure every detail (even that tricky tail!) is handled with care and patience. Knowing it’s a highlight of his day makes it a highlight of ours, too! Thank you for trusting us to keep your sweet boy looking and feeling his best. 💙🐾

My Luna girl is reluctant to go to the groomer's, so I'm grateful that Barkbus made things easy by coming to us with a kind and gentle specialist. I especially like that there are no cages or waiting periods and that the service was personalized for what my girl could handle (e.g., not pushing her to have her ears blow dried or to use electric clippers). I liked that I could book the appointment fully online with transparent fees and that all communication could be done via text. I loved that I got pictures throughout the service so I was kept updated and knew she was doing OK. Overall, it was fast, convenient, friendly service and my girl came out smelling so clean and looking gorgeous. Will definitely use Barkbus Denver again.

Thank you so much for the kind and detailed feedback! 💙 We know how important it is to meet each pup where they are—especially ones like your sweet Luna who need a little extra gentleness. We're so glad the experience felt easy, personalized, and transparent from start to finish. It means the world to hear she came out clean, gorgeous, and happy. We can’t wait to see you both again in Denver! 🐾

Barkbus has been our groomer for the last four years . My golden retriever is reluctant but her groomers are always tender and kind with her . She looks spectacular when she is finished ! I love the convenience of them coming to my house and Im appreciative I dont have to leave her at the groomers for hours . Its worth every dollar !!!
