Pampered Poodles Four Corners

Carey was able to let me book an appointment with her the day before. She groomed my Pomeranian and he looked great afterwards! The drop off was easy and had other customers dropping off. She on time with the estimated time she would be done and assured me he would be fine. The only let down is that he didn’t really smell like other times I’ve had him groomed but it was still worth the trip. I will return!

I was looking for a groomer closer to home. Our previous groomer was good but too far of a drive. I was so happy to come across Pampered Poodles when doing an online search. The reviews were good and PP was in my neighborhood… YEAY! I took our Border Collie to get groomed by Carrie, the owner, and was so very pleased with the experience. Carrie and her little dogs were a real joy and she did a GREAT job on our girl! Will definitely be going back to her!!!

Definitely a good option if you are looking for inexpensive, no frills dog grooming.
The location is in the basement of Carrie’s house, which I’m glad some other reviewers mentioned, because otherwise I would have been confused.
I was able to make an appointment and get in the next day. My dog’s cut was good and he didn’t seem overly stressed out by the experience. However, he still smelled a bit doggy when I picked him up. I mean, yes he’s a dog and he tends to smell like one, but after a grooming he usually smells like shampoo for at least a couple days. Perhaps my old groomer was just a really good dog washer? I think I will explore other options in the area before settling on a new groomer.

I just brought my dog Lindy home and thought this place was fantastic. It’s not a boutique grooming salon (I was glad that a reviewer had mentioned that it’s in the basement and a bit run down but in the end, I do not care!). Carrie did a top-​notch grooming job on our miniature schnauzer. Previous reviewers were correct about the price. It’s nearly half of what I paid previously in this area. I went based on the reviews and thought I would leave my own to confirm yes, it’s wonderful. Plus, Carrie was *fantastic* with my kids (3 & 5) and even let them see the puppies.
When I pulled in this morning I had to wait some time for a garbage truck to clear out of the way so I could park. There was an older man in the car behind me with a dog that got OUT OF HER MIND excited when she figured out where she was. She couldn’t wait! That said it all to me.

I read everyone’s great posts and was really excited to check this place out. I think the owner was very kind, but I wasn’t happy with the place itself. It was a basement in a house that was hard to find and there were a lot of dogs barking there. My little rescue was scared and tried to go back up the stairs after we started walking down. It looked very rundown and not very clean. We didn’t stay and I won’t be going back. I hate to say anything negative because I do believe the owner has a lot of experience, but the atmosphere just left too much to be desired for my tastes.

Thanks to Unilocal and people who’ve Unilocaled about Pampered Poodles I’ve got a great convenient place to bring my Foxy.
I’ve never really liked Petsmart or Petco for bringing Foxy because I don’t really know if I can trust some of the younger kids who work there, but Carrie was great. She seemed to know her stuff without having to refer to a manual or binder to figure out what my pomeranian needed.
I called after reading some reviews here and Carrie was able to fit me in on the same day. Her little workshop is in the basement of I think her home and less than 15 minutes from me so it was great.
If you plan to visit check out the website because if it’s your first time you can print a coupon for $ 5 off.
There are no clear signs of the house number or the shop. It’s the first house on the block and you park in the driveway, walk around the side of the house before you see a sign by steps leading down to the workshop. Watch out for the mosquitos, too!
Down the stairs and through the doors you’ll enter a cozy space with some crates, yappy little dogs, and Carrie’s workspace! She’s not a whole lot of talk but a whole lot of love towards the little pups. So I filled out a form, crated Foxy, and was told that I’d be called when she was ready to be picked up.
I got a call about 2 hours later and returned to a room filled with happy yappy little dogs. There were at least 10 little dogs and one bigger dog who all looked like they were groomed and having a blast.
NO CREDIT CARDS! Cash and check only.
I love supporting small and startup businesses.
As a new patron Foxy got:
Hair cut
Hair brushed
Nails trims
Ears Cleaned
A bow
and even Perfume!

Carrie is a great groomer. My Westie looks great. She cut her short, like I asked, while keeping the Westie look around her face.
My little rescue is very timid, but she wasn’t traumatized by being crated after her grooming. I was on vacation so I was able to pick her up as soon as she was done. Carrie grooms out of her home, so it’s easy to get here.
The grooming rates are extremely reasonable; far cheaper than everywhere else in the DMV that we have been to.

Carrie is just wonderful with dogs. We have gotten our two Maltese dogs groomed here and one of them we bought from her also (she has many Malteses running around!). She is a great groomer and very reasonably priced.
Our older dog had a terrible health ‘event’ while with her one day and she did canine CPR on him and revived him. We were able to spend a few more days with our beloved dog because of the quick and caring actions of Carrie.

Carrie is the BEST groomer ever. She truly cares about the dogs and provides great advice for my dog. I don’t trust many people with my hound, but I do trust Carrie!
