"My little six months old Biewer Terrier Chloe is a nervous little dog and the one time she went to a groomer, it wasn't a pleasant experience for her. I was given Julia's information by a friend. I wasn't sure it would work out well for Chloe or the groomer, but once I met Julia and saw her love of dogs and her calm manner, I knew Chloe was in good hands. My little girl looks gorgeous and I will be arranging future regular grooming sessions with BPS Grooming and recommending Julia to all my friends with wee doggies."

"By far the very best groomer that I've ever taken my 13 and 7 year old dogs to! I have tried many groomers in the lower mainland and Victoria over 30 years of raising many types of dogs. Yulia is by far the very best groomer! Incredible service, so sweet, the best grooming skills and great rapport with the dogs! Highly recommend Yulia!!"

"Julia was amazing — she is so friendly and great. I took my mini Australian shepherd who is a reactive dog around other dogs, and she was great. It's 1-on-1 and she has her own grooming studio. Definitely would recommend!! We will be going back."

"Julia is very nice and super attentive towards my fur baby. I have a Pomeranian who is full of energy and nobody has been able to cope with his grooming before — Julia is exceptionally talented and caring towards him."

"Julia is a caring groomer who takes her time. I brought in a heavily matted pup, and Julia took 2.5 hrs to work on ONLY this little guy. He looked spiffy and clean after. Highly recommend Julia!"

"Hazel had an amazing time at the groomer's. This was our first appointment, we were met with surpassed expectations. Julia was very accommodating, friendly and gentle. She was very attentive to detail, just how we like it. Would recommend any dog owner looking for a great groomer. 10/10"

Jennifer Fletcher March 2025

"My boy Ozzy is a rescue and taking him to a new groomer is extremely stressful for both of us. Julia was so warm and welcoming the second we walked in and my dog fell in love with her on the spot. She gave my dog a beautiful Pomeranian cut and he looks so fantastic. I also appreciate the fact she only has one dog at a time so your dog gets her whole undivided attention. We will absolutely be coming back!"

"Julia groomed our pup Walter who was a rescue covered in mats and unable to even see. She treated him very sweetly and helped him through his first grooming experience to looking great. Thanks Julia!"

"I'm so glad Julia decided to go for a walk around our neighbourhood (Thetis Lake) and hand out flyers for her grooming salon. I had put off grooming Spätzle for a while and I was so pleased with Julia's work. I love her transparency about being a relatively new groomer, but she honestly did such an amazing job. Spätzle is a Cavapoo with so much fur and Julia was able to trim him right down — I'm so grateful for the work she did around his paw pads and inside his ears. She's a lifesaver! Her and her husband are also such kind humans. Highly recommend. Studio is CLEAN and it's so personal — she can focus on one dog without any distractions. We'll be back for sure!"

"Had a wonderful experience today bringing my small mixed breed to Julia. Booking the appointment was easy and she booked my pup in right away! She took her time and made us feel very comfortable and welcome in her space. Her grooming space was clean and tidy and she had excellent customer service. She did an excellent job grooming my dog — I am very happy with how cute he looks! She even put a bow on him! :) Thank you Julia!!"

James Clarke March 2025

"Julia is great to work with. She offers an excellent professional service where your pup is left looking their best. Diego gets excited when we pull up to get his haircut. We know he is in good hands and Julia even used a dremel to carefully manicure his nails. I would recommend her services to anyone. Small or big dogs welcome and attention to detail is on point. Diego was left looking like he's ready for a show. Thank you Julia!"

"The owner and her husband are the best people to run a pet grooming business. They genuinely cared about my dog and wanted to ensure they gave him the best experience. They were flexible with my schedule and got me in the same day. I have a mini Aussie/Sheltie who is often anxious at the best of times, but she made him feel at home before I left and wanted to confirm I was happy with the service prior to payment. I recommend Bark'n Pant'n Sniff to anyone looking for a genuine groomer."

Britney Teele March 2025

"Fantastic with my very dramatic and anxious 4-year-old chocolate lab who does not like anyone touching her nails. A lot of previous salon owners have either given up on my dog or been unable to complete the task, but she was able to complete it for me (with my help). I also have a senior golden retriever who isn't thrilled with nail trims either but again, was able to complete it and gave her paws a nice hair trim. She also took the time and care to try and make both dogs feel safe. Will be back 100%! THANK YOU!"

"Great dog groomer for my anxious Aussie who had lots of matting. He came out relaxed, happy and looking like a new fluffy puppy. He even got a little cute pom pom collar. Will definitely be going back!"

Lite September 2024

"I can't thank Julia enough for coming to my rescue during a stressful time. I had a family emergency that required me to travel to Dallas, and with the high temperatures, I needed to get my Shorkie groomed last minute so she could come with me. My regular groomer was fully booked, but Julia stepped in and saved the day. My dog is typically very shy, but Julia was incredibly gentle and patient with her, which I truly appreciated. The groom was perfect, and I could tell my pup felt comfortable the entire time. Julia is not only a talented groomer but also someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she works with. Highly recommend!"

Gaby Rodriguez September 2024

"I have a medium size golden doodle who really needed a groom and shave down but tends to be anxious at salons due to the noise and other dogs. I found Julia's business online and liked that she does one dog at a time and there's no other dogs around. Julia was great with Summer, really tried to make her feel calm. To my surprise Julia told me that Summer was good during the groom! I was happy to hear. I'm in town visiting family, but next time we're here I'll be sure to schedule a groom with Julia. I recommend if you have a small to medium size dog."

Jody Patenaude July 2024

"I took in my puppy for his first real grooming session as summer is here and he was getting very unruly. Julia and her husband were both lovely and she is very kind to the animals that she is handling. Leo was very calm when I picked him up and he feels so much better."

Denise Kelter June 2024

"What can I say? Julia is so kind and gentle. My joy in life is my little Shih tzu. She had a rough start. I am very particular and cautious with her. I usually worry when I drop her off at a Groomers just because she is very sensitive. My experience with Julia was outstanding. She was so kind and empathetic with my little dog. You can really tell she cares about your dogs experience and wants to make it an amazing one. She did a great job on my dog she looked beautiful. I will definitely be taking my dog back. Thank you for caring about my dog as much as I do!!!"
