Heartstrings Pet Lodging

We take our golden retrievers and poodle here to be groomed. Their prices are better than Pet Smart. Their work is fantastic.
Expect your dogs tone there most of the day for grooming.
Located off Patrick Henry, before the Blacksburg rec and aquatic center.
4 out of 5 because you need to make an appointment in advance. They typically don’t do walk ins.

My dog absolutely loves Heartstrings! When we approach the building, he gets so excited and doesn’t look back when I leave. The staff is very friendly and loving. I feel incredibly comfortable leaving my dog in their care.

My almost 2-​year old Golden Retriever, Macho, stayed at Heartstrings’ day camp this past Saturday while attending a football game. We dropped him off bright and early and picked him up after the game, almost 12 hours later. With a game ticket, the price for the day camp was reduced to only $ 16!
The staff was friendly and the facility was impressive – lots of room for the dogs to run and play. They even have a pool, which Macho didn’t go in, but I bet he wanted to.
They sent Macho home with a report card outlining his day – what he did, who he played with, when he ate and went to the bathroom. Now, 24 hours later, he is still sleeping which means he had a LOT of fun. It takes a lot to wear him out. Next time we return to Blacksburg I will definitely drop Macho off for the day.

So far I’ve had a great experience with Heartstrings pet lodging and spa. I have used their grooming and lodging services thus far and am very happy with both. The groomer, Erin, is VERY sweet and has a great way with animals. I think my dog actually enjoys getting groomed by Erin (and that’s a first for my dog!) :) Also, the staff on the lodging side of this business are very gentle and caring. Heartstrings shows good attention to detail, and cares for each animal as an individual. Because my dog is a rescue animal, it is especially important to me that my dog be given extra love and TLC since she has separation anxiety. I appreciate the separate lodging «suites» since my dog does not like to socialize with other pups. I will be trying their daycare services soon too! I am very happy with Heartstrings.
