Barker and Woof care about their clients and owners and treat them with compassion! Coco is treated with love and respect on every visit and she is always very proud of herself after she looks all pretty and clean!

Ava and Aldo at Barker and Woof are amazing!!! Our cul de sac all use Barker and Woof so we decided to give it a go. Well I am so very glad we did! Ava and Aldo do an amazing job with our Snow! They can easily trim her nails and they are perfect every time. I highly recommend their business. If you want a mobile groomer that is A+ you must call them!

Suzanne

For over three years we’ve had our energetic terrier mix groomed by Barker & Woof and we could not be happier. Ava and Aldo are loving, patient professionals who really care about the four legged family members entrusted to them. The excellence of their work and the kindness that they show have made us Barker & Woof customers for life; we would not think of using anyone else to groom our dog Poe!

Joe & Poe (and Cheryl too)

Teddy always looks wonderful when Ava brings him back to us, and he’s always happy - perhaps he likes the bow tie Ava gives him! It’s also so helpful that Barker and Woof comes to us- it makes the grooming process so much less stressful. Teddy comes back to us as soon as he’s groomed- he’s never in a cage. I can’t say enough about how happy I am with Barker and Woof-they are outstanding!

Susan and Teddy

They are amazing! To be able to adapt to each our dog's needs and personalities and do so in a gentle and loving manner.  We are blessed to have found Barker and Woof and we look forward to the day they pull up to our door.  You will love them, but most importantly, your fur babies will love them and be in the best of hands.

Ava and Aldo are THE BEST. I am super picky about how I like my Maltese Duncan cut, and Duncan is not the most “easy going” dog. Ava and Aldo not only do an amazing job on making him look great, but they have such a kind, gentle and warm way about them as well. They never rush grooming appointments, and everything is done to perfection when Duncan is returned to me. I am as attached to Ava and Aldo for Duncan, as I am to my own hairdresser!

ABOUT US

My name is Ava and I am a dog lover. I found my passion later in life after many years of trying to find a career that would be gratifying and make me truly happy. After some considerable soul searching, I realized it was working with dogs. I followed my heart, applied to grooming school and became a certified dog groomer in 2015. I chose to become an apprentice to an experienced dog groomer for a year to get additional handson training. Upon completion, I decided to open up my own mobile grooming business.

I was fortunate to have my soulmate, Aldo who loves dogs as much as I do, join me in this new venture. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives and we truly believe “dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.” Together we will adore and cater to your furry loved ones by providing our undivided attention in a safe, sanitized, and stress-free setting in our state-of-the-art mobile salon. We never use cage dryers, rush through a grooming session or force your furry loved ones to do something against their will.

We treat your dogs as we would treat our own by providing kind, gentle, loving, patient and compassionate care. These important guiding principles are what matters most to us and are the core values of our business.
