Reviews & Testimonials

Teyah loves Barkzone and I love how they take care of her and love her. I also love the fact I can also watch her playing with all her doggie friends. I would recommend Barkzone 100%, they are the best!

This place is great! My dog comes home tired and happy after every visit. It's nice (and very entertaining) to see what he's up to throughout the day on the webcams.

BarkZone has dramatically improved. Our dogs were regulars several years ago but we stopped taking them due to their care and customer service. Apparently they are under new management and things have gotten a lot better. Great communication, fair pricing and convenience. Would recommend for anyone

My 65 lb goldendoodle can get really nervous during grooming, but he has always come out of BarkZone looking (and smelling) like he had the BEST time. So appreciate their care and attention to his needs!

BarkZone is the last outpost of a reasonable grooming session in Portland. Great work with much care.

We take our doggy Jimmy here at least once a week and he loves to play with his buddies. He's SOOO excited every time we drop him off and then he's usually nice and tired after he gets home. What more can you ask for?

After I clipped my chow chow's nail too short she was really aggressive when I tried to trim next time. I needed someone to trim them while I earned her trust again. Several places wouldn't take an aggressive chow, but Noel did a great job handling her.

Just want to mention that my family has used this facility multiple times in last year with excellent service and convenience. Although today not so much. While we were using the drying station there was a VERY INCONSIDERATE customer using the air blower drying station and was drying his VERY VERY long haired white dog with the blower that filled the whole room with his dogs very fine and long hair that was getting all over the other dogs and customers so much so that I had to go home and take a take my clothes off before going in house, wash my clothes independant from a normal load of clothes and take a shower. I have a FRIENDLY BUT FIRM suggestion: That when this type breed as well as similar breeds that very long fine hair be required to be thoroughly brushed prior to using your public facility !! In my humble opinion (Very Rude Customer).

Great at nails, bathing has everything needed.. appointments might be needed as getting much busier.

Our husky-malamute enjoyed the visit! Her nails were all evenly cut, her fur deshed, and straggly fur trimmed at the back of her legs and rumpus. She smelled and looked great AND she had a light and happy bounce afterwards. No concerns or regrets for the mobile grooming visit!

Staff is awsome

Kayla was AMAZING!!!! She did an EXCEPTIONAL job grooming Onyx!! We will be booking with her again! I'm so happy I found you guys!!!

The last two times I tried to get my dogs nails trimmed here, we walked away not having gotten them trimmed at all. A couple of years ago I had an appointment and brought my dog in and the attendant said “I can’t do it without help and I’m the only one here.” Shortly after, another employee walked in with their off-leash dog which ran up to my nervous, on-leash dog and cornered it. They did nothing about this but watch. Didn’t even try to call the dog away. Then still said they couldn’t do it even though they clearly had help now. Thought I’d try them again and explained what had happened last time with someone very understanding on the phone. They said we’ll make sure there’s enough help and to schedule at a time when it’d be low traffic in the shop. Today I show up for my appointment and nobody is here at all. Not answering my phone calls or their ring door bell. We waited around for 30 mins and nothing. Pretty bad experience all around. UPDATE: The still haven’t even responded to my voicemails I left 3 days ago. Waste of time.

Barkzone is great! It's the staff that make it so. They are friendly and attentive to my dog, they know her. I would LOVE it if drop off were a little bit faster!

My 6-yr-old Great Pyrenees got her first grooming ever and she came out looking and smelling fabulous. They were sensitive to her nervousness and were able to groom her without needing to resort to a muzzle. She's much more comfortable without all the extra floof (IYKYK). Beats trying to bathe her myself in my claw foot bathtub! Highly recommend.

After two serious incidents, we will never ever trust this place with our dog again! During the first incident, while we were overseas, we saw their missed call at around 2am with no voicemail or email. We were extremely frightened, especially since we had previously been told they would only call in the case of a serious emergency involving our dog. I spent that time repeatedly calling them back in distress, but no one answered! 💔 It took nearly an hour to finally reach someone. We later found out they had mishandled our dog’s food storage and we had to urgently purchase new food at our own expense to ensure our dog was fed. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic responsibility in this situation was unacceptable! The second incident was far worse. Just three days into our trip, we received a voicemail saying our 7 lb dog had been involved in a fight. We were initially told that a large dog pinned her down during mealtime. We specifically requested a written explanation of what happened and asked for photos. While they did send photos, they never provided any written explanation. (Not surprised!) Instead, we only received a phone call from a manager, and later, when we picked our dog up, we were given a completely different version of events. The refusal to document the incident in writing, combined with conflicting stories, raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. After picking our pup up, we discovered bite marks and eye infection following. The fact that dogs of all sizes are mixed together, especially during feeding, shows extremely poor judgment and unsafe handling practices. On a side note, their website/storefront stated we could pick dogs up during break time, but they will charge a fee. We tried to do that once, and the staff showed up rude and fed up insisting us picking up during business hours. Crazy! We are just so incredibly fortunate that our dog is safe, but this experience was completely unacceptable. Between the lack of communication, inconsistent reporting, and questionable safety practices, we strongly advise others to think twice before trusting this facility with their pets!

I just wanted to leave a grooming review for Portland Barkzone. Thank you Taylor! My dog Mauricio has never looked better. You are very professional, on top of scheduling and personable. I apologize for not leaving a tip! The grooming rates went up substantially since my last visit! Barkzone is lucky to have you. Thanks again

This place does excellent work!

The ladies at Barkzone LO, are always welcoming, and accommodating for a drop in for a nail trim. Thank you.

Hard to get a hold of but my dogs love them and they do a great job!

Myra is fantastic. We used to take our dog Dexter there RIP. There is simply no better groomer in Portland or beyond.

They’re always so good about making my dog look perfect. I can always get an appointment and my dog doesn’t mind going in so that’s a good sign! Highly recommend these folks!
