Steffie does the best nail trims in Portland—she actually takes time to dremel them down properly instead of just clipping. If your dog gets anxious at groomers, this matters. It's a self-serve wash spot on SE Washington near Laurelhurst, so it's solid for quick cleanups after the off-leash areas. Fair warning though: the place is a little funky and quirky, but the dogs don't care. She listens to music while working, so mention it upfront if that's gonna stress your dog out.

The real value is boarding and grooming services. Steffie responds fast to texts and can usually fit you in on short notice—I've done emergency boarding runs and she makes it happen. She's transparent about what she expects from dogs (neutered, friendly enough) and sends photos constantly. She talks to them the entire time she's working, which keeps anxious dogs calm. Just know she focuses on small dogs, like under 25 pounds or so. If your dog is around that size, she'll treat it like it's her own.

Prices and hours change, so text or call before showing up. The SE location is super convenient if you're already in that area hitting up Drip Drop or the off-leash parks. People have been doing 10-day boarding runs with great results, and she's flexible about pickup and drop-off timing. It's not fancy, but she actually gives a shit and it shows.
