We recently had the opportunity to travel back to Illinois from our home in Florida. We always make sure our dog Willie gets to visit with Heidie and get a haircut. She's been taking care of him since he was a little pup and he just loves her as do we!!

Heidi is the best the Illinois valley has to offer! My dog Freya is a special case who needs extra care and attention and Heidi does it with ease. Fantastic animal handling, amazing person, I could not give a higher recommendation.

My dogs went for a week of training. They got to spend time with a number of dogs and they love that. But they got a lot of one on one training with Heidi. We have a bit more training so needed ( you can only get so much done with puppies in a week) but they are getting there. I really appreciate that Heidi has been checking on them and their progress every day or 2 since they have been home. Highly recommend

I have been taking my Auusie to Heidi since she was a puppy so about 2 years now! Heidi is great with Cali girl and everytime she comes around Cali gets so excited and ready to go play with the other dogs and get her grooming! Heidi even helped a lot with her training as a puppy! I highly recommend using her for all of your pet needs as far as grooming boarding training or doggy daycare! Heidi is great with animals and they all love her! If you’re looking for your first or even a new place to take your dog don’t look past JunkyardDawgs I promise you that you will not regret it!

Lucky-man gets so excited even as we turn on to the street to visit Heidi. He used to get terrible anxiety and physically ill anytime we would leave town it made a weekend trip or vacation so stressful for me. I love that he is excited to go play with his friends and see Heidi, he even knows her name now. It’s such a relief to know he’s well taken care of and having fun when we can’t be with him, from day care to vacation. She’s great about sending updates and pictures, amazing customer service! We also love watching him strut in anytime Heidi grooms him, he knows he’s looking handsome, and can’t wait to find something to roll in.
