I was looking for a groomer in the area that was experienced with coton de tulears. Guzal is an award-winning professional, and for good reason. I know my fur baby is in great hands with her, despite his separation anxiety. She puts safety and the dog's best interest first, and really cares for the dogs as if they were her own. She's always willing to work with me when my schedule is tight. I've been taking my fur baby to her for the past 5+ years, and he only looks cuter every time.

Very impressed with my groomer, Kibby. With her talent and patience, she made my Bischon/Poodle (who was beginning to look like a mop) look fantastic. She is a pro.

We had a great experience with Ian. Our pup loved her first grooming session. Ian spoke like someone who actually cares about your dog. I will be using him and VIP again.

Very nice place, friendly staff,but the lady who groomed my cat didn't listen to me carefully, she was speaking for several minutes with the customer before me and I was waiting then in my cat turn she took him in hurry, I tried to explain how my cat likes his hair and look , I thought she understood then I leftMy cat since yesterday is so annoyed, he was shaved completely, the only thing make him looks like a lion is his tail:(

VIP Pet Salon is the best groomer for my Brussels Griffon and mini golden doodle. When we first got our Griffon, we took him to a different groomer and they butchered him so he looked like a different type of dog and just awful. We researched and found VIP and he’s been going there ever since, which is about 5 years now. The other thing is my Griffon is so finicky and doesn’t like too many people but he loves Guzal and runs to her and wants to be held. She truly loves dogs. And the fact that they are mobile and come to you is soooo fabulous and convenient! And when we added a mini golden doodle to the family, he also went to VIP and she keeps him looking adorable! Doodles have challenging coats and she is very skilled in taking care of and grooming them. I cannot recommend VIP Pet Salon enough!!! They are the absolute BEST!

Guzal has been the most amazing groomer. She was my original groomer for my first Giant Schnauzer and did fantastic work. I am now on my second Giant Schnauzer, who is a giant wriggly ball of energy, and Guzal works wonders with him. I don’t know how she does it all but he looks so sharp after each grooming. He gets super happy and excited to see her grooming truck too so I know she takes her time and makes sure it is a positive experience for him every time. After his grooming, I get non-stop compliments about how sharp he looks and how well groomed he is. I highly recommend Guzal to anyone needing professional grooming services. Truly top notch!!

By far the best groomer we’ve had. Our pups are 7 and 1 year old Golden’s. VIP consistently does an amazing job! We’ve been to other places where my pups come home and are still FUR-city but at VIP my fur babies always come back looking like perfect proper pups.

Not a satisfactory first groom. Groomer arrived late, pulled into my driveway blocking ingress/egress for an hour and a half, spoke limited English, did not introduce herself, did not pause long enough to listen to instructions, took my 13 lb dog using a noose leash even though she was wearing a harness. Groom took an hour and a half (vs 1 hour with my previous groomer). When my dog emerged, she was drooling and shaking (and my dog LOVES to be groomed). Charged $150 for this wonderful experience. I will not use them again.

VIP Pet and their staff came highly recommended to me and I must say they exceeded my expectations for service. I have a border terrier and its a challenge to locate a groomer who has knowledge about the breed. On my initial visit, the groomer spent 30 minutes talking about the breed, grooming techniques and a plan for my little guy. What a difference! He is a handsome and happy lad thanks to VIP Pet!

We just had a great experience with VIP last weekend for our Australian Labradoddle. Unlike other experience, our dog was happy and energetic. Roscoe fur was cut even and his color was more bright and black. The staff was personable, friendly and professional with our questions. I have recommended VIP to friends in Arlington, Falls Church and Vienna. I was surprise how many dog owners struggle to find a good dog grooming salon. Search no more. I wish they can cut my hair, haha.

My puppy always looks amazing when he gets his haircut by VIP Pet Elite. Definitely recommend!

Jessica was awesome! My American Hairless Terrier puppy squirms so much that neither my wife or I (working alone or together) can cut his nails, and we’re experienced dog owners who know, and tried, all the tricks. We even had them try at the vet’s and two techs couldn’t cut them either (the one said our pup was the most difficult she’d ever seen). However, at VIP Pet, as a walk-in with no wait, Jessica had him up on the table and done in under five minutes. She did an amazing job. No fuss and no trauma. I highly recommend VIP Pet and Jessica, and my pup will be a regular client going forward.

We really liked the quality of grooming provided at VIP pet, though the prices were more expensive than several others in town, so we switched. The owner does award-winning grooming jobs (literally), so if you have a dog with the kind of coat that can be really fancied up, you will be really satisfied!

I have been looking for a place were I can stay with my dog when he is getting groomed. he is a about 105 lab mix and not so friendly. when I went t o south lawn pet spa to ask if they would let me stay with my dog when he is getting groomed they told me yes I can . I have turn places down because of this . but south lawn pet spa told me yes of the rip and it made me feel as though they have nothing to hide. I really love this place and will keep coming back. the staff was very pleasant . I will recommend south lawn pet spa to all my friends and family.

I have a cocker spaniel that went to another grooming salon in Old Town regularly. I would have to book months in advance and they would take all day to groom him. I would take him in the morning and he would not be ready until the evening. It really is an all day affair. The groomer of South Lawn was handing out treats and we struck up a conversation. I brought my dog in the next week and was quoted 3-4 hours and they were finished with him in 2 1/2 hours. Normally, after I pick my dog up from being groomed he is a shaking anxious mess. When I picked him up from South Lawn he was the happiest and handsomest I'd ever seen him. His skirt pattern and clean face, which is the proper groom for cockers, was correct. My poor cocker spaniel is often simply shaved down at the other salon. The staff is friendly, understanding, and accommodating. I will be a repeat customer definitely. I highly recommend this salon to other pet owners.

Worth everything, my coco loves it! I have changed from using Petsmart groomers because I feel they have beautiful results, staff is friendly, informative & listens, and mostly feel my pup isn't petrified of being there when I pick her up as with Petsmart. Which all in all make them worth their pricing, I'd definitely recommend.

I attended the "Do It Yourself Dog Grooming" event. I've had dogs for years, and have done basic nail trims, etc for them, but this class really gave me valuable tips on what to do for them in between regular grooming visits. Highly recommend the course for all dog owners!

We have had our dogs visit their salon in Alexandria and used their mobile grooming service (we have a 12 lb poodle mix and a 100lb German shepherd). Their team is always so great and our dogs are very happy! Thank you so such great service.

Piggy backed service when I saw your van at our neighbors house...shot a text and got IMMEDIATE response and had availability to come right after the neighbors!!! SCORE! Nickie took the time to know what we wanted/expected and did just that in just about an hour...as opposed to the FOUR hours local big guys wanted to have the pup dropped off for... definitely more than the competition...but extremely talented and convenient...and they did a great job in nails and the cut itself!

I have been using VIP Pet Elite for my Westhighland Terrier since we brought him home - about 18 months now. Charlie gets hand-stripped and Guzal does a fabulous job with him! He loves to see the truck come up the driveway!

I give them 5 stars with their grooming, however, I have paid 5 different prices, each going up 5 times. I will not be using them only because the prices are not consistent. My billing went from 95.00 to 120.00 for a toy poodle.

I can’t say anything about their service, but if you want to support truly kind and good hearted people this is were you should go. I had a bad flat tire and didn’t know how to use the air pump. Their van was next to me, not only did they filled the tire for me, but also paid for the air. Not only that but even looked up a place I could go to get the tire looked at. They went out of there way to help me out. I am truly genuinely so grateful for them. We need more people like them in this world!!

Very unethical, I hired them thinking the price would be around $120 which is what they quoted me over the phone prior to COVID. After the dog was groomed, they told me the charge was $200. In response, I stated that this was about 80% higher than usually, and ask if this was due to COVID, she stated that it was indeed due to COVID.I will never use them again, nor will I ever use a company that takes advantage of situations and price gouges. Very short sighted and unethical business practice, that has resulted in a lost costumer and a bad review.

I really appreciate these guys for their amazing services. They’re definitely the best when it comes to dog grooming. My dog always leaves the place looking great and smelling good. I’d definitely recommend this place to everyone I know.

This company is awful! They were 30 minutes late to the scheduled meeting from when the person gave me the ETA. When calling the company for help about their arrival I was asked to text. Via text I was told how rude and inconsiderate I am for people still working during the pandemic. I was not rude, simply wanted to know why the groomer was 30 minutes later than the ETA given. Based on these interactions and harassment via text, I would not recommend this mobile option at all!

They cancelled very late 2 times and treated me as if I were the one who cancelled. The appointment taker was terribly rude talking over me. I should not have given them a second chance after having nicked my boy last time.
