Love Overboard Kennels & Grooming

4.6(125)✓ Google-verified

Most dogs leave groomed beautifully and owners praise the staff's patience with fearful pets and willingness to turn around matted coats. But a smaller group report serious incidents: grooming nicks that bled, a boarded dog left dehydrated and terrified, and frustration when concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. The business takes same-day bookings and stays late for pickups, though communication about policy changes (like dropping cat grooming for new customers) appears inconsistent.
