Finn looks so handsome with his new haircut! Thank you for taking great care of him...he's always a little nervous at first but settles right in? …

I can’t express how hard it was to find a good cat groomer for my fur baby. Amanda exceeds expectations! Not only is she easy to communicate with, she does an absolutely fantastic job on Jax every time I bring him. Will definitely be bringing my future dog to Amanda as well ? …

I can’t say enough amazing things about Kyrstin from Top Notch Paws! I brought my mini golden doodle, Pia, in for grooming yesterday, and from start to finish, it was such a wonderful experience. Pia was unfortunately pretty matted and in need of a fresh start, and she has always been anxious about grooming. Kyrstin was incredibly patient and gentle with her, making it a truly stress-free visit. The one-on-one grooming appointment was a huge plus—we loved the personalized care. Kyrstin even played a calming Disney playlist just for Pia (we’re big Disney fans, so that was extra special and thoughtful!). She kept me comfortable and informed the whole time, which really put this nervous dog mom at ease. The grooming space was spotless, welcoming, and easy to find. And when I saw Pia afterward, I was blown away—she looked amazing, with the cutest little pink bows in her hair ?. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Pia’s fresh, happy, and looking fabulous, all thanks to Kyrstin. 10/10, highly recommend!

Kyrstin is absolutely phenomenal! She has been grooming my dog & cat for years now and I’m so lucky to have been able to follow her to her new adventure? Not only is she one of the cleanest groomers ever, really taking the time to thoroughly clean her equipment but she has a natural gift for making animals feel comfortable. The animals happiness and wellbeing always comes first before anything and she loves her clients like her own. Some things you just can’t find in another groomer! Will always recommend her

Amanda came to our house to clip our grand dog’s nails when our daughter couldn’t get an appointment with her groomer in Utica. She made it look easy to clip Alex’s nails.

Paws down the best kitty nail grooming I ever experienced. My cat doesn't let me cut his nails but he got his nails done today and also he had couple difficult ones. She is lovely, does a very good and quick job. Five stars. *****

Amanda is an excellent groomer! I have a large cranky male Siamese who can be very aggressive with having his nails clipped. Amanda is very fast with clipping his nails! My sister & I both hold him because he bites and Amanda zooms around him, clipping all 4 paws before he has a chance to bite! She has a great system! I highly recommend her!!

Kyrstin has taken over grooming duties and had our hairy Berniedoodle scheduled and trimmed in less than a week. He looks great and in this 90 degrees heat staying cool.

I’ve brought my standard sized Goldendoodle to Amanda a few times and she’s always done such a great job! She’s friendly and you can tell she really likes what she does. I love that it’s located at her house so it’s a calmer setting for the pet. She’s always been flexible with scheduling. The only reason I’m taking a star off is she doesn’t have a tub for large dogs so unfortunately she is only able to groom my dog and not bathe. It’s still worth me traveling from CT!

Amanda is a truly gifted groomer. My dogs are well treated and look fabulous after a visit from her. She’s been grooming my dogs for years! I highly recommend her. She’s also hilarious and my dogs love her. It’s magical what she is able to do with my dogs that they wouldn’t allow me to do in a million years!

Amanda is the absolute best groomer around! She's incredibly patient, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional! Our puppy had a traumatizing experience with another groomer, so we immediately switched to Amanda & we will never bring her to anyone else. She's kind, caring, gentle and goes above and beyond to gain the trust of our puppy. We're grateful to have found Amanda, and we recommend her to everyone looking for a groomer for their cats and dogs!

We recently brought home our Goldendoodle puppy, Echo, and couldnt be happier with our experience with Top Notch Paws Puppies. From the start, they were professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about the well-being of their dogs. Echo is healthy, happy, and has the sweetest temperamenta true testament to the care and love that Top Notch Paws Puppies puts into their breeding program. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and we appreciated how thorough they were in explaining Echos health history, diet, and early training. They answered all our questions and made us feel confident as new puppy parents. If youre looking for a responsible and caring breeder, we highly recommend Too Notch Paws Puppies. Echo has already brought so much joy to our familythank you for helping us find our perfect pup!

We adore our beautiful, happy mini golden doodle puppy Birdy. Randall and Robin and their twin sons were such kind and helpful people. We got DNA info, vet records and answers to all our many questions. So far our sweet pup is healthy, happy and adjusting quite well. The family is genuine and ethical and we were very happy with our experience with them!

In July we bought a mini goldendoodle from Top Notch Paws. She has been an absolute joy! Our experience with Top Notch Paws has been incredible. We have also had Charli groomed with Top Notch Paws twice. I have referred a friend who is in love with her new Shipoo! Additionally when ever I take Charli out I have a Top Notch Paws business card I'm my pocket because everyone wants to know where she came from. Hands down I would recommend them!!!

Had an awesome experience! We were looking for a puppy but I am usually allergic to many dogs. They worked with me to hold and get close to the dog on two separate visits to make sure I wasn't having any reactions. After 2 or 3 visits I could confidently go home with our puppy knowing I wasn't allergic in any way. Couldn't ask for a better situation. Highly recommend!

We purchased a wonderful little golden doodle from this company and it was nothing short of an amazing and seamless process! The owners even met us in the community on their day off to show us the puppies before we choose our little Blaze! Randy and Robin are organized, transparent and professional! I would recommend them to anyone!

Hands down, the absolute best dog breeder around! We brought home our first-ever puppy in February of this year, and we could not be happier! Robin and Randy are the absolute best - super patient, accommodating, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate and work with... And, our puppy is the perfect addition to our family. We're absolutely in love with her - she's healthy, smart, sweet, active, playful and such a love bug! I highly recommend this breeder to anyone who's looking for a new puppy!

I don’t even know where to start, But to keep it short the Hess family are thee best breeders around! We ended up falling inlove with Cairo (formerly known as Dakota) he was from a Shih-poo liter back in July. Before putting a deposit we FaceTimed so that I could see the pup ?? and leading up to me picking him up I was getting photos and updates on my future puppy. I am a little over 2 hours away from their location and this family is so amazing that they offered to meet me half way which truly made things sooo much easier for me. Upon arrival we got our puppy with some food, toys and as well as a vet card that showed his latest immunizations!! After having the puppy top notch paws was still there for me! Answering all my questions and giving me tips. We have had our pup a little over a month and a half and our puppy has been the best addition to our family. THANK YOU TO THE HESS FAMILY

I have had the best experience with Robin and Randy at Top Notch Paws. It was my first time getting a puppy & We were beyond lucky to meet our little Nova. They helped us along the way with questions and have been beyond kind. I continue to recommend friends and family. Super reputable and nova is nothing but the most loving pupp!

We are super thankful for our 11 week old Cockapoo pup Dexter (Oregano). I found Top Notch Paws on social media and reached out to them a few times till I felt I found my furever dog, I took the two hour trip to meet the puppy and fell in love, went back a few days later to bring him home. The owners were both amazing, very knowledgeable, nice, very responsive with all my messages( yes I sent quite a few) before I picked a pup and after I brought Dexter home. Dexter was clean, and had a clean bill of health from our vet. He’s the best puppy. I would definitely get another puppy from Top Notch Paws again.

We brought home our beautiful boy Berne doodle (aka Mr Waffles) In March 2024. He is the Sweetest, most playful, lovable ball of joy! He fits in perfectly with our family (we have a collie doodle and 2 teen boys). The Hess Family was SO wonderful to deal with! They are kind and compassionate with their animals and Customers. Adopting Mr waffles was the most pleasant experience we have ever had adopting a dog! Highly recommended and will adopt through them again. Thank you SO much for our new baby boy!
