    Mo is absolutely amazing with both of our dogs. One of them is a senior who hates getting her nails done and the other is special needs and can get anxious, but Mo always takes extra good care of them and makes sure they feel safe and comfortable.

    I also love that he only takes one dog at a time so they never have to sit around and wait. His prices are very affordable and he is always so quick without ever rushing the care.

    Mo is great! Our dog has been to a few different groomers, and they all have taken 2+ hours to groom him. Mo did it in 30 minutes and he looks great. He receives a compliment daily on his walks. Our baby usually shakes when I hand him over to his groomer. Not with Mo! He picked him up and was fine--no stress for him or me. As many reviewers mentioned, Barking Lot doesn't kennel dogs. Mo does one dog at a time, so he will let your dog wait for you if you can't pick him/her up after he texts you that he's ready. I highly recommend Barking Lot! I

    Everything about The Barking Lot of Hillcrest and Mo is just a cut above the rest. Booking an appointment is easy and efficient online and drop-off and pick-up for the appointment is just as easy. We would drop Achilles off at the time of his appointment and 30 minutes to...read full review
