Awesome Dog Groomer
“Giving a shoutout to Erin Convertito, dog groomer extraordinaire. Our squirmy 1yr old husky wouldn't let us do much other than brush him occasionally, but Erin charmed him into a full on brush, bath, dry, and nail trim, and he actually seemed to enjoy it! Easy drop off service on Barnes Rd.”
“Highly recommend Erin at Capitol Canine! She is exceptional at her craft. My Bernese Mountain dog adores her. Testament to her handling when your dog showers her with kisses while being groomed. One on one grooming that is stress free for your dog. I drive 45min to Erin for her services and wouldn't consider anyone else!”
“I took my terrier to Capitol Canine for her first professional grooming. Erin was great! She listened carefully to what I wanted, and gave Archie the trim I was looking for. Erin’s calm and steady handling of Archie was reassuring to us both. I trust Erin with my dog, which says a lot. We’ll be back!”
“Erin has the passion, skill, and heart that makes what could be a chore, a fun adventure for both the pup and their people. Erin has a true love for dogs and she individualizes her care to the dog she is working with. She is conveniently located and reasonably priced. it is not easy to find a groomer - look no further!”
