Love!! I have a mini bernedoodle and have tried quite a few grooming places as he needs it often. Femmes & Fidos was by far the nicest to my dog and made sure he was comfortable through the experience. They also did exactly what I asked for with the cut and made sure I knew everything they would do before!

We’ve been bringing our pup to Femmes and Fidos for daycare/boarding for 2 years now. The team here is always so easy to work with and caring towards our dog. Could not recommend them enough. The attached grooming service is also super convenient and more great folks.

Rissa is a gem! We have been to 4 or 5 groomers that all suggested giving my dog sedatives before grooming. Not Rissa! She has made my Chloe Anne so comfortable and taken the anxiety out of the picture. I suggest her to everyone I know. She really is an amazing person and groomer.

I can’t begin to describe the wonderful care our fur baby has received at Femmes and Fidos. As a longtime customer our dog has utilized their daycare, boarding and grooming services. All of which have been superb! I wouldn’t trust the care of our dog to anyone else but Femmes and Fidos!

Femmes & Fidos does such a wondeful job with my senior Labradoodle, Ginger. Rissa is terrific! Ginger always looks - and smells - great!! 😊

They did such an awesome job saving my bernedoodle boy, Roscoe, from all his matting. I knew he was going to have to be shaved down, but they did such a smooth job of the cutting that he didn't look butchered like he has from other places. They also were able to leave enough fur on his face, and did such a good job shaping it, that he still looks adorable. I'll definitely be sticking with them. Thank you!

I used to be a regular at Femmes & Fidos. I was very pleased with the groom itself and they were always very accommodating of my schedule and pro-active about scheduling. The reason I ultimately ended up going to a different groomer and removed a star was due to the atmosphere. I recognize everyone has bad days, but I twice entered their front door to hear a groomer loosing their patience and yelling at a dog. I also had complaints about my senior dog being unable to sit for the full duration of the groom and needing breaks due to stress and age. I decided I no longer felt comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Just was not the right fit for me and my dog.

We love this place so much. After two years of M-F daycare and the occasional overnight stay, the staff here has been like family for our little Reuben. Our little rescue pup has grown so much socially with his daily interactions. It'll be difficult to find a similar low volume, Aunty's living room style daycare when we move. Thank you for everything, F&F!

We put our dog Zazu in daycare here while on vacation. He is typically very nervous to go new places, but after the first day he was so excited to go and play with his friends. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, and got back to us very quickly with any questions we had. On his last day we had him groomed, and they did an excellent job!

Their grooming people are the BEST. I hate going to any other groomer because I know nothing can compare to them. My dog is a giant puppy and they always do amazing with him. He always comes out smelling amazing and they do a great job with his coat. He sheds a ton, so when I take him to other groomers I get him back and can still pull clumps of hair. When he goes to Femmes and Fidos they get all the extra fur out. I can't rave about them enough!

The owner was so nice and went out of her way to help us. We will definitely come here again. To get fun treats and a salon day for our dog.

I have been taking my dogs to Marissa for a really long time now and I will never go with anyone else! She is amazing with my dogs and she is the friendliest person ever! The facility is also very neat and well kept.

We take our 7 month old puppy Archer to F&F for daycare five days a week and we are so grateful for the care and love they show our precious baby. Having been going in and out of F&F every day for the past several months, I’ve consistently had good experiences and I couldn’t recommend them more highly! Huge thank you to Patti, Whitney, Maria, Irene, Erin, Victoria and the rest of this amazing team!

Our dog Radley went to their doggy daycare for over a year and loved it! Prices are fair and care excellent. The only reason we left if because we moved out of state. Definitely recommend!

Wish I would have found these ladies sooner! Came in for a typical dog grooming, ended up having my dog go to the doggie daycare and boarding over the weekend while my house got packed up and shipped. My fur baby had a great time, and was less stressed than watching people come in and out of the house all day from inside her crate. Everyone was extremely polite and helpful. I would recommend anyone to take their beloved, furry family member here for a spa day or just to have a day away from the house.

So I just called to see Pricing on grooming for a Aussiedoodle puppy. asked What’s the pricing for a full cut? He said” Ohh I don’t know!” (Silent for a second)I Then asked are you able to check? he said”No I can not..Thank you. why answer the phone?? Well I dodged a bullet all I can say.

Femmes & Fidos is hands down the best place in Newport News to take your pet! Whether you need a place for your pet to stay overnight, grooming or even a pet sitter, they are excellent and so caring. I've used their services several times and traveled without having to worry about our pepper puppy being in good hands. I highly recommend them to anybody in the area that is looking for a place they can trust with their furry friend.

I use Femmes & Fidos for pet sitting. Patty and her staff are reliable, caring, committed, and trustworthy pet sitters. My dog, Emmy, loves them! She gets so excited when they take care of her. (I can see them on my in home camera). Emmy is always hopping around wagging her tail excited for their walk. When I’m out of town I need to know that my beloved pet is well taken care of, does not feel lonely and is loved. Femmes & Fidos fits the bill. They are timely, they take her for walks, always sends me pictures of her enjoying her day, and gives her love. My dog is safe and well cared for so I can enjoy my vacation or work with peace of mind. They come into my home to care for Emmy so she does not have her schedule disrupted nor stay in a cage while I’m gone. I have complete trust in Patty and her employees coming into my home without me being present. They have never been anything but professional while carrying out their duties.Moreover if I get caught up at work or something causes a delay in my schedule, I have often texted Patty out of the blue to see if she could run over (I live near her shop) and let Emmy out. She has always accommodated these no notice requests for the same price that she charges for scheduled visits, which I truly appreciate. One day she was out walking her dogs in my neighborhood and texted to see if she could get Emmy to join them, just because she wanted a play date with our dogs. I was more than happy to do that and Emmy was thrilled. It just goes to show you that this isn’t just a job to Patty it’s something she truly loves. That’s the kind of person I want taking care of Emmy.I cannot recommend them more! They are the best!

We love Femmes & Fidos. Our dogs are our "babies" and their groomer, Karen treats them as such. She is kind and understanding about our Papillon having separation anxiety. She is accommodating with our Golden Retriever wanting to play in daycare after her spa appointment!! These folks are the best. If you're in doubt, you should visit them before making a judgement. They post tons on stuff on their Facebook page. I am one of "those people" who would jump in front of a vehicle to save my dog, so I only leave them in the most capable and caring hands.

I have taken my dogs to Femmes and Fidos for years. I love how everyone in the shop completely adores their 'guests' (dogs). They treat them like family. It is unfortunate that there were communication issues with a couple of people and I trust they will resolve those issues. But, by no means, does this have any reflection on how they treat your pooch. I have tried others and Femmes and Fidos is top notch all the way.

Called femmes and fidos to see about grooming my puppy. I called them to set up an appointment. I gave them all the details of my puppy. His breed, weight, and medical. He got neutered 9 days prior to the appointment and i notified them of that. I also said i had post op papers from the vet saying we could bathe him after 7 days. So we set up an 8 am appointment. I arived there early this morning and was informed they would not groom my dog. When I asked why they said they wont groom him till after 10 days of his neutering. She also got an attitude and said she wished i would have informed her of the neutering before the appointment which i did.It was completley unperfessional. They obviously do not have there business well organized. The front desk and groomers should be on the same page. They should have a policy on their pets. It appears to me that they dont really care about the animals and more concerned with bringing busniess in. I should have been told from the begining that they couldnt groom him. I will not be returning to them. Waste of time.

Did a good job with my dog max for a good bath and nail trim. He was clean and fresh. He can be skittish, so it was a good sign when he didn’t come out looking shell shocked, even though that wouldn’t have been strange for him. Thanks!

Karen takes care of my babies and I don't trust too many people with my babies. She's amazing, the other groomers are amazing, and the love they have for their human clients and furry clients is absolutely fantastic!!
