We don’t take that lightly. We love Jesus. That’s the foundation for how we run this place — with integrity, grace, and real care for people and pets. Our goal is simple: treat every pet like our own and treat every customer with respect.

My first time taking my girl Star to uptown bark and it was a great experience! Staff and owners were incredibly kind and helpful, and star was ready to go in an only a few hours. Star got a full groom and teddy cut and she looks perfect, they even gave her a super cute springtime bow!

We heard uptown was under new ownership, so we decided to bring our two baby girls in for nail trims today. Met the new owners who were both attentive, and both were loving on the Annabelle and Rocky, even the groomer was loving with both of them.

They did an amazing job on our pups hair. She dedicated a lot of time to getting knots out and listened how I wanted his hair trimmed. It’s his best cut yet. Thanks Uptown Bark for your time you put into him and made him look great.

Love it! Great service. They are so friendly and with my dog (who is a little particular). Great cut. They even look out for potential medical issues and let me know if they see anything I should follow up with my vet about.

My pups love Uptown Bark! I've never been somewhere where the dogs get excited when they see their groomer. They are the best!! They really care about the dogs and I feel like they are safe and taken care of and I really appreciate that it is always clean.

I started bringing my dog here now it is under new management/ owners. I was pleasantly greeted by the new owners and they took time to actually talk with me and learn about my dog. They genuinely care and it SHOWS!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Divider Text
Do I need to schedule for nails?
You do not! We offer walk-ins for nail grinding/clipping! We always recommend calling before, just in case our groomers have finished up for the day!
Why is Doodle Pricing different?
Our Doo’s and Poo’s often have a very uniquely blended coat between the poodle and their other parent’s breed. This means they are more time-consuming and typically require more shampoo, more drying, and a different approach to the groom itself.
Are the dogs in cages all day?
Whether for boarding, daycare, or grooming - your pup will not be in a cage all day. Of course, there are specific times that your pup is going to be in a kennel or larger run, but we do our best to keep our pets safe, secure, and comfortable.
Is there an outside area for boarding?
Yes! One of our favorite aspects of the business is Big Bark Park! Directly connected to our building, astro turf with plenty of shade, our 2,100 square foot space is perfect for the pack!
Do you do walk-in Grooming?
In short, no. Our groomers are typically booked out a few days in advance, but we can have cancellations and you can always call to see our soonest day/time available!
