Mutt & Joe

Groomer Christie, the best and the sweetest. I brought my older dog in, had a melt down because she is not doing so well… Christie took such good care of her and of me. Thank you and I will be a customer for the life of my dogs. Recommend highly.

Today, was the first day I had taken my dog to Mutt & Joe’s. Petey, my dog, is a 9yr old Yorkie Poo who has a lot of allergies, etc. He is known to be super energetic (and crazy), with a lot of anxiety. For the 2.5 yrs I have been living in MD, I would have to say that this is first positive grooming experience that I’ve had. The staff is friendly & fabulous (I have been in the service industry my whole life, so this is huge)!!! My baby wasn’t even upset or scared afterwards, which made me so happy :)… Not too mention the price is great too! Keep doing a great job. I highly recommend!!!

I would give the café 2 stars, and the grooming 4 stars, but I’m giving a star on top of the average because the employees were great and the concept is wonderful! The Café only had gluten free baked goods, brewed coffee was Zekes which is good, the plain latte was not great and the syrups were just Torani. Mutt’s groomers were great with my dog. She is short-​haired and sweet, so I didn’t anticipate any problems with the female groomers, but the guy that was there was great, as well. Grooming was very quick and prices on both sides are not cheap but less than average in this area.

I absolutely LOVE this place!!! I have a 5 year old Yorkie with a skin condition that leaves his fur super thin in some areas & thicker in others. He also has severe car anxiety so by the time we get to their location he is all wound up. This is honestly the only place that I trust to groom him. They are so gentle & treat the dogs like they are their own! As an extra bonus they have an awesome coffee shop attached to the dog grooming area. I highly recommend you try the chocolate chip cookies. you won’t be disappointed :)

Always have a great experience. Everyone is friendly, prices are reasonable and our pups have always been happy– and come out smelling great! Much easier than trying to wash at home.

Great place to take your furry pup while you get a bite to eat and a cup of joe. First time here for the dog, we’ve eaten here before and what’s what brought us back.

I took my greyhound here today for a treat. It was anything but. When we went in, an employee had a little dog who was so nervous in the waiting room. He was shaking and whining. The employee said to me, «Yeah, most dogs don’t like coming here.» I should have taken that as a warning.
They took my dog to the back to wash him. I went next door to get a coffee then asked to go in the back. Not even 10 minutes had passed. Another employee stood with my 80-​pound shaking, wet, cold dog in a four-​foot tall metal tub. He said, «She’s done.» My dog is a male! How well do you think he did washing him!!!
I was also very unhappy that he had been lifted up into this tall tub for a bath. I expected something on the floor that he could have walked in. I took him to this place because I didn’t want him to stress about being lifted into my tub at home. This was so much worse.
In front of the employee, I told my dog that I was sorry for taking him there. The second employee then said, «I don’t know why. Dogs don’t really like coming here.» I think everyone should take note from two different employees. Don’t bring your dog to Mutt & Joe. Awful. Just awful!

It was ok — I went in for just coffee with my dog. Finally got coffee from the human side and went to the dog side — and it was good — but while sitting and talking a customer came in the dog side to pick up her dog and once she paid — and was walking out — with her dogs — we moved to the corner and my dog was at my side — not bothering anyone — and the groomer came out and yelled at us and said keep you dog in the corner. I said — that is what I am doing. Once the customer left the door — we left,

Everyone here is so pleasant and thoughtful. I came in during a storm and the girls grabbed a towel for me and my dog right away.
After his shampoo, my dog was soft and shiny. He smelled great and his nails were trimmed perfectly. Best of all, he was pretty calm — Chrissy did a great job and he must have felt very comfortable with her.
I love that they serve Zeke’s coffee — I used to occasionally stop in for an Americano before I even had a dog!

This place is an adorable local business. Staff is super friendly. Only $ 15 for nail clipping and brush! Usually take her to petsmart but had bad experiences so checked out this place and they’re awesome! Great staff great prices great coffee. What more could you ask for!

What a fantastic local business. We love supporting local but also are picky about receiving good service. Here goes my review of Mutt & Joe.
The atmosphere is very cool and welcoming. I made an appointment and they knew who we were and addressed me and my pup by name when we walked in. Both the staff and the other customers were very friendly and pleasant, giving my dog lots of positive attention and «good boy“s.
We chose to get just a bath and nails trimmed because my pitty doesn’t have very high maintenance fur. They got the job done in 20 minutes which was great– I had coffee in the coffee shop, where they served up my latte with local organic milk– it was cheaper than Starbucks and of course tasted better! This is my kind of place…
The owner chatted with me for a little bit and she was very pleasant, you can tell she is passionate about her business and a true dog lover. She gave my pup some yummy organic treats and even gave me a few to take with me.
When I forked over my credit card I was also impressed with the damage– it was very well priced– about $ 30 for the wash and nails plus a nice scented doggy cologne (they have about 20 to choose from– we got some kind of woodland musk or something, my dog now smells handsome and manly).
Needless to say is am actually looking forward to the next time my dog needs a bath because of how pleasant it was taking him there and the people were awesome!
Thanks Mutt & Joe!

Here it is, the down and dirty on this absolutely wonderful local business.
Here is my review of the Mutt part.. . Our dog, a very large Bernese Mountain dog Bailey has been coming here since she was about 6 months old. So Mutt and Joe’s has seen her grow as we have. She LOVES it here, first time or two, she was hesitant, now she knows when I make that turn on Benfield that she is coming to Mutt and Joe’s.. .the groomers and bathers are wonderful, always caring for her and never performing an unnecessary service. If her pads need trimming they will do it, if they don’t they wont. Some places would do it no matter what and charge you. So if they perform a service on Bailey she needed it. I am thrilled with the caring groomers and the service and the owner, well she’s a hoot and worth just stopping in to talk too. You need to note, they do not crate your dog here, so when you drop your pooch off, and they say 45 minutes, they want you back in 45 minutes to get your hound. If not, they may charge a fee for keeping your dog past the allotted time, it hasn’t happened to me, but they warn you on the front side.. .just an FYI.. .no need to be late, you are usually just next door at the Joe part of Mutt and Joe’s
Here is my review of the Joe part.. .Great coffee, great service, they serve Zeke’s coffee which is a bold brew that is much, much better than any chain coffee house. No over roasted beans here. The bagels and sandwiches are wonderful, cookies and scones are made in house and they have many gluten free options (although I love my glutens, others do not, so they are good for both sides of the gluten street). The milk and cream they use come from a local creamery, South Mountain Creamery in Western Maryland. They deliver locally and they have the absolute BEST products.
Mutt and Joe’s is a great local business that all should visit. Just my two cents for the Unilocaling world.

We’ve been going for over 2 years and have only had great experiences. I have a bichon who has sensitive skin and we have had terrible encounters at other groomers. Here everyone is always very professional and he always comes out looking great. We take him for the fluff and buff bath about once a month. One time he was really matted and they didn’t realize it until after he was bathed so they didn’t charge me but they took so much time to try to brush him out the best they could until we came in for his grooming appointment. I am always so impressed with their dedication and the love they show my dog. The shop is always clean and inviting that I’m able to sit and wait with my 1 year old.

I’ve only just discovered this place and have only been 3 times. That being said, I’ve had consistently exceptional service every time. The staff is super friendly, professional and personable. In a world full of Coffee Beans and Starbucks, it’s refreshing to go to an unpretentious, local coffee shop that has glass bottles full of milk and local products for purchase. I will be going back, and you should too. Ps the coffee is great. The barista took the time to offer me a fresh pour-​over even though she was clearly busy.

I am sorry I recommended this business previously. We took our boy in today for his scheduled trim and they shaved him and charged me $ 70. When I left instructions, they were for a trim. I spoke to Jen the groomer and left my cell phone number in case there was a problem. I specifically told her that we did not want him shaved over the winter as it is cold outside. Long story short, they shaved him and said it was because he was matted. He was NOT matted. They didn’t bother to call either! We won’t be going back to Mutt & Joe and I will not recommend again.

Brought my 50 lb. dog in for a scheduled appointment. Bath and towel dry. I waited 15 minutes for someone to finally come take my dog back for her bath. In the meantime, 3 customers came in and out with their aggressive dogs lunging at my dog. I had to request that someone please take my dog back for her scheduled wash. When I tried to pay with a $ 100 bill, first the clerk ringing me up disappeared to get change, then the manager appeared to tell me she had no change, then the owner appeared to tell me she had no change, «It’s Friday afternoon». That statement made no sense at all. Then the manager had to be called back out front to adjust the register. A 15 –20 minute appointment turned into a 45 min. aggravating, unnecessary wait. The place is disorganized, chaotic, and it appears that 2 employees are working while 4 «bosses» run around following in one another’s footsteps accomplishing nothing.

I had both of my dogs bathed the same day I called for an appointment. The staff is GREAT! They are all so very friendly and you can tell they LOVE dogs! They are expedient and I was so happy to have them wash the dogs and file their nails in less than half the time it takes me to do it. So much less stress for my pups! And, the coffee rocks too!

In one word, our first visit to Mutt & Joe was amazing. We showed up 30 minutes before they closed, fully expecting the staff to say they could not take the dog until the following day. However, they were extremely friendly and assured us that the dog would be fully washed and dried in 30 minutes. I did not think this was possible because typically taking the dog to another similar dog was & coffee spot in Annapolis takes at least an hour and 9 out of 10 times he comes back still very damp.
After the dog was all done, I couldn’t believe how clean he looked. He’s had plenty of baths from other dog places however this was by far the cleanest he’s ever looked. I greatly appreciated the staff taking the extra time to brush him out and give top notch service even though it was right before closing. I will only be taking my dog to Mutt & Joe from now on!

Mutt & Joe staff are just like family. We bring our puppy, Luke by just to say hi in between groomings. Jen does a fabulous job grooming him. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is totally FUN! We highly recommend this business in Severna Park, MD.
