Fantastic place for pups and their owners to have a great time. The staff here is incredibly friendly and attentive. I honestly don’t know how this place stays in business with the number of staff that was working at one time on just the bar/play area side. We were a little worried when we first got there and the only other guests were on their way out. But after about ten minutes there was a whole new group of friends for our husky puppy to run amuck with. We all had a great time and will definitely will be back every time we’re back in town.
Went to another groomer in town for years and the service and time it took for the grooming were always lack luster. Skiptown exceeded all expectations and we’ll be taking our dog Polly there for grooming going forward. The groomer Ydal was super friendly and professional and did a great job. Can’t wait to use other services here as well.!
🐾 Skip Town – Real Talk Review We love the place—the concept, the energy, the community vibe. But after our out-of-town dogs got sick post-visit, we’re rethinking the value. The vet bills alone weren’t worth the hassle. 🟡 The turf area sees heavy dog traffic, and while we can’t speak to their full cleaning process, first impressions matter. It looks like they rely on rain to rinse out urine and residue, with minimal active cleaning. 🟡 Dog hair is everywhere, and the space could be much more sanitary. Maybe a regular vacuum pass or deeper grooming cleanup would help. 🟡 We understand that maintenance is expensive and extremely hard, especially with the volume of dogs they host daily. That traffic is key for their clientele—but it also demands higher hygiene standards. We genuinely enjoy the place and wanted our dogs to socialize. But for house dogs or sensitive pups, the health tradeoff makes it hard to recommend without caution. We love the place—but it needs cleaner follow-through to match the promise.
First experience with a professional groomer. First off Skiptown is an amazing park already: Well staffed with kind, extremely attentive, people. Clean. Quite sizable. A great spot to finish off the afternoon if your a WFH. Great tap selection as well. The only downside is not being able to bring a tennis ball or toys, but when you're there it makes sense to prevent scuffles. I've been going for a couple months and there's always at least 20 or 30 sweet pups to socialize with. Great community. My groomer was Chelsea. She took the time to go over what I was looking for, the specifics of what it usually done with my breed's double coat, answered all my questions, and I felt like I was leaving my girl in good hands. When I came to pick her up she didn't want to leave. I would 100% recommend Chelsea's grooming services, and the park in general. I will absolutely be going back to Chelsea next time my girl starts getting shaggy.
I absolutely love this place, and Chili (my pup) loves it even more! It’s hard to contain her excitement when we pull up! I have spent time with her at the park and all the skippers are so attentive and already know her by name! I have used the daycare and boarding multiple times and couldn’t recommend it more. I am so happy to have found this spot!
