Sandy and her staff do a beautiful job grooming our long haired Bearded Collie. More importantly they are so loving and kind. Our young dog is happy to spend hours at “the spa!”🙂 We had had an an unpleasant experience at another groomer so we were thrilled to find Sandy’s which had been recommended by lots of neighbors and friends. A very special place!
I have been struggling for a year now to find a good groomer in the area. Sandy's was AMAZING - we finally found our match! They were so friendly and attentive, really listened to what I wanted done, & Henry looks absolutely amazing with his summer cut. They definitely knew how to tame his mop (before and after pictures for reference). The pricing was extremely reasonable as well. A very happy new customer!
I love Sandy's. The haircuts are great on my bernadoodle and she looks awesome when done. Sandy listens to what you want, how much you want off and does exactly that.
They do an absolutely fantastic job with my golden retriever. Her ears perfectly cleaned and combed through any matted fur, nails trimmed and softened, fur all cleaned up in specific areas. Really well priced. Have gone here exclusively for the past 5 years
Phenomenal experience my Ginger has never looked this great. Her had perfect proportions, great eye to detail, and she left the establishment so happy. She never does from other places. Their customer service is fantastic and Sandy herself is a gem. She was so happy to speak about her Lovely Pets and you can feel the warmth in her store. I will definitely be taking my Ginger back! Added a before and two after pics. Not the best but Ginger felt so light afterwards in this heat.
I have two delightful small dogs, and I’m truly impressed with the exceptional care they receive! My 15-year-old dog, who has heart issues, has been treated with incredible caution and compassion. After a long day at the groomer, he doesn't just look great for his age—he's full of joy! No ear infections or cuts to worry about, just happiness! I wholeheartedly recommend their services. In fact, Upper East Side Veterinarians also sing their praises! 🥰😍 Just a heads-up: while they provide outstanding care, the grooming can be a bit pricey, but well worth it!
Amazing experience! They did an exceptional job with my very difficult dog. Their team was incredibly patient and compassionate, managing to groom him to perfection. I was amazed at how calm and happy my dog was during and after the session. Highly recommend!
Great family feel type of place. Been around for ages at this point and with good reason. I can't speak on the boarding services because I haven't used them myself but the grooming service was great. My Maltese went from a little white grizzly bear to a sweet little young lamb lol (see before and after below) She was happy to be picked up but didn't seem distressed; she was all smiles. Prices are extremely reasonable.
Sandy’s and her staff are welcoming and amazing. Lola is a fluffy energetic English cocker spaniel, it’s the third time we are getting groomed there and we’re very satisfied. I love that they treat your pup like he is a part of the family, the dogs are waiting in a yard which giving an experience of a nice social spa day.
I have been going to Sandy's for over a year now for our Goldendoodle's grooming and can honestly say they are one of the best groomer's in the neighborhood. They are lovely to deal with and the best part is that my dog comes back happy! :)

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
