Rover’s Day Ranch

We went to Winnie several times with our Klee Kais. She is amazing. I love the product she uses and she let our dogs play instead of keeping them cooped up. Her rates are right on the mark. She does book up quick, so if you can plan in advance do so. Huge fan!

Winnine at Rover’s Day Ranch is great. My two pugs had always been very good about having their nails trimmed until we moved and had to change groomers. I took them to a different groomer and they were obviously traumatized. When I picked them up they both had bloody paws and I witnessed three staff members pinning a frightened dog to the floor to trim it’s nails. After that they were terrified of getting their nails trimmed. We finally found Winnine who is very calm and patient with them and was able to re-​acclimate them to being groomed. If you are looking for a groomer that cares about your dogs well-​being, visit Rover’s Day Ranch.

I just moved to the Lake Steven Area and I own a larger (10lbs) shih-​tzu. We used to live close to Seattle and had a mobile groomer who was amazing, but because we moved so far north we had to find another groomer.
My dog is very sweet but HATES having her nails clipped, you would swear the apocolypse was coming and she’d been hit.
We got Winnie’s number from the local pet store, and I googled her address, she was 7 minutes away! So, I made an appointment, and off we went to find her.
When we got there, Winnie was very nice and her dogs were very sweet. The Great Dane scared my little shih-​tzu because she didn’t see him in his kennel, but he was a big ol sweety.
Winnie and I talked about hair length, and she showed me what she thought would be good on my little girl. I agreed and Winnie told me when I could pick her up.
It was the quickest groom I’ve ever seen. It was also affordable.
After all that, why one star you ask? My dog is no longer walking around the house, chasing after food bits that are dropped in the kitchen, or even getting up to drink water. At first, when I brought her home (that day) she was eating and drinking but wouldn’t do more than that, I thought she was mad that I had her hair cut, so I figured I’d wait until she quit pouting. It is now evident to me that something happened at this groomer and she can no longer walk or crawl of her own will without intense pain. We are going to the vet ASAP tomorrow morning, as they’re all closed tonight. I would rather pay the extra money and know my dog is happy and healthy, than deal with her being hurt and scared.

I have taken my Shih Tzu to one of the top rated groomers in Snohomish County (which will be left unnamed) and had a bad experience. I decided to try to find a groomer in Lake Stevens and came across Rover’s Day Ranch. I am so, so happy that I took the chance of breaking away from the commercial groomers to try a down-​home, local groomer. The location is very nice and CLEAN! I like how it is tucked into an easy to access rural location near the lake (Lake Stevens).
First, Winnie Simon, the owner was very, very nice and understanding of my poor dog being long overdue for a groom. I was embarrassed to bring her in but Winnie took it all in stride and let me know what to expect as far as the grooming she would need to do to get my dog, Mia back into tip-​top shape which she did.
When I picked Mia up, she was so happy and has been noticeably happier and more active since she was groomed a few days ago. The prices are reasonable and nail trimming is even cheaper than most other places ($ 6). Winnie aims to make the maintenance of our beloved pets affordable for everyone.
Oh, I stopped back by today and got to see the mascots of the Ranch — Shasta (Great Dane) and Roger (Terrier). They are Winnie’s dogs and I just love them!!! Such sweet, well-​behaved dogs! My 14 year old fell in love with another client’s dog today who had just finished being groomed when we showed up. He was disappointed this dog was not Winnie’s and said he could play with him all day:-)
I will most definitely be bringing Mia to this groomer from now on and am happy to call her our groomer!

Winnie’s facility is tucked neatly in a quiet nook bordering the east side of Lake Stevens. She accepts appointments and does professional-​grade work with a neighborly smile. I dropped off my pooch for a groom but Winnie threw in a handful of options (i.e. cutting nails and expressing anal glands) without increasing my total. That’s what neighborly business is all about. I look forward to our next visit!
