In 1980, Aardbark Dog & Cat Grooming opened its doors in Gilbert, Arizona. Four and a half decades later, we're still here — same dedication, same gentle care, same commitment to treating every pet like family.
We've watched Gilbert grow from a small farming town to a thriving community. Through all that change, one thing hasn't: the trust our neighbors place in us to care for their pets. That trust is earned one groom at a time.
Aardbark Dog & Cat Grooming opens at 610 N Gilbert Rd, becoming one of the first dedicated grooming shops in the East Valley.
Word spreads through the growing Gilbert community. Aardbark becomes known for gentle handling and consistent quality — pets keep coming back, year after year.
Two decades in, Aardbark has become a fixture. Multi-generation families bring their pets — the grandchildren of original customers now walk through the same door.
4.8 stars across 189+ reviews. BBB A+ rated. Still family-run, still hands-on, still the longest-running groomer in the Phoenix metro area.
