We absolutely love taking our puppy to Stephie and Sonny! They always do a perfect job giving our girl the best hair cut. Our puppy comes home happy every single time! We know she is safe and well taken care of when she is in for her day of beauty. Highly recommend!

I started taking my mini goldendoodle puppy at 6 months to Stephanie and Sonny and what a positive change I have already seen in him! He use to be VERY shy and fearful of other dogs. I honestly wasnt sure if or how I was ever going to break him out of his shell. He has gained so much confidence in the short amount of time he has been under their care, its absolutely incredible and reassuring that he is in good hands. Stephanie and Sonny are very attentive and give me detailed updates, I look forward to the videos and photos they share with me through out the day. I can clearly see my pup is having a good time and so happy I dont have to worry about him while Im at work. I highly recommend this place if you want your dog to have great socialization skills and to be well taken care of.

Stephanie and Sonny are just wonderful and very caring. My dog is a rescue and Stephanie and Sonny take such good care of him. He always looks spiffy and proud after each grooming. I immediately got at ease with Stephanie because she is very detailed and specific, and clearly knowledgeable about dogs. She has been godsend. She walked me through the paperwork she needed before bringing my dog in, and I appreciate that she wont take non vaccinated dogs or not having the paperwork signed by the vet. She was upfront about cost and that depending on his coats condition she clearly stated there could be additional charges. She is trustworthy and dependable. And she is the only groomer who actually cleans his teeth! She does a fantastic job. His ears and paw pads have never been cleaner. On his first visit Stephanie told me that something was going on with his pads, that there an unusual smell and she had to clear fungus. I can attest to this because his previous groomers didnt clean them deep enough. When I drop him off she gives me an approximate time frame when to pick him up and calls 30min before hes ready. Shes available by phone and email. I highly recommend Stephanie if you want a peace of mind and have your dog look and feel great.Thank you so much Stephanie and Sonny!

We brought our 9 month old mini Goldendoodle Latke to Finishing Touches, and we were so happy with our experience! Latke looks like a princess, this is by far the best haircut shes had. Stephanie was so thorough providing details before, during, and after the grooming, and gave me some very helpful tips and insights for taking care of Latkes coat at home. You can tell Stephanie and Sonny truly value and take great care of all their clients. High recommend them!

I needed a daycare for my pup so she can learn to socialize with other dogs and also give her some company during the week while Im at work. While other daycares cut down their operating hours because of covid, this place opens early and closes later, and accommodates my work hours (8a-4p) perfectly with time to spare if Im running late. Also added bonus, she does grooming while shes at daycare!The owner Stephanie takes great pride in her place and I always feel very safe and secure leaving my fur baby there. I feel like Im leaving my pup at a relatives house instead of a daycare. I love chatting with Stephanie and shes helped me with tips on training my pup. I was able to mold some of her undesirable behavior pretty quickly. My pup gets gets excited as soon as we turn the corner of the block to get to daycare. Shes super tired after a day at Auntie Stephanies place and is much more calm for the rest of the night when she gets home.Stephanie did my pups first groom and we were very happy with how she looks. I posted a before and after pic.

I have been sending my Havapoo to Stephanie and Sonnny for a few months, and I am so impressed with how well they take of him. We wanted to make sure he got enough socialization as a puppy, and with Stephanies constant updates and advice, we feel that our dog is always in excellent hands. I definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a day care because she is experienced, caring, and always attentive to my dogs needs.

Where do I begin! I happen to live across the street but actually first interacted with Stephanie over the phone. A dog walker I had used was seen dragging my poor little frightful pup by a neighbor and immediately alerted me while at work. Im an ICU RN and couldnt leave work. I was frantic. My mother (who is out of town) actually first reached out to Stephanie and was amazed at her professionalism and willingness to get my puppy in as soon as possible. Before I knew it, I had the application sent to me and I was talking to Stephanie on the phone. She instantly calmed me down and I realized I was at the right daycare. My puppy was extremely anxious (had worms and digestive issues when I first brought her home so her socialization was delayed in those first crucial months). After the first trial day, Stephanie gave me a very thorough evaluation of my pup and gave her a full 4 days to continue to evaluate and then a typed, even more thorough evaluation of what she will need coming up. Long story short, my now 7 month old puppy is one of the MOST playful pups at daycare and has even made some best friends!!! Stephanie has also started grooming her and has her on a schedule to desensitize her to the whole process and she is phenomenal at it. I dont know what I would have done without Stephanie, Sonny and Kevin. My schedule can be erratic and very long hours and I NEVER have to worry about my little girl. AMAZING doesnt even come close to how I would describe this team!! Thank you all!!!

Stephie and Sonny are amazing attentive groomers offering a variety of services. I entrusted the pup with their care and despite terriers being notorious for disliking spa days, the pup did not want to leave. All communication was prompt, thorough and professional. I am lucky that the Salon is nearby as I wouldnt take the pup anywhere else.

The groomer I was going to for 20 years retired and I was super nervous about finding a new groomer. My Vet recommended “Finishing Touches.” Stephanie and Sonny were very welcoming and could not be nicer. They really care about our dogs and our shih tzus have never looked cuter! Stephanie and Sonny are super accommodating about drop-off times and pick-up times. I never have to worry about making appointments because Stephanie and Sonny always save us appointments. I highly recommend Finishing Touches by Stephanie!

Outstanding Experiences with BOTH Grooming & Daycare services!! My pooch Roxy LOVES going to see Stephanie & Sonny and ALL her 4-legged friends!

Absolutely wonderful experience at Finishing Touches! We started bringing our 6 month old puppy here after interviewing and visiting several other doggy day cares in the area. Finishing Touches was clean and it was clear from day one that Stephanie and Sonny care about their dogs as if they are their own! We loved that only a limited number of dogs were allowed per day to prevent over crowding! Also the fact that 2 walks are included in the daily sessions was incredible (!!!), especially for a puppy being potty trained. My husband and I also love our daily emails with photos and videos of our puppy, which truly brightens up our work day to see our puppy having the best time. Our puppy loves coming to Finishing Touches and sprints for their store whenever we turn onto their block! So grateful for their services and care for our dog! Thank you Sonny and Stephanie!

What can be said that hasnt already been said? Simply put, Finishing Touches is a life saver. Without any doubt, Stephanie and Sonny are amazing people. They were recommended to us by an acquaintance in our building. First, the daycare facility is meticulously kept, very clean and well organized. Second, dog walks are included in the monthly packages to ensure that your pet is well exercised during the day. For my part, this was really important for my puppy since I didnt want her playing for 2 minutes and then napping the entire day. BUT, the singular distinguishing characteristic is how much they care about the dogs. They are critical about which dogs will well integrate with the others. Stephanie goes out of her way to always answer my concerns when my little pup is under the weather and to give great pointers in her obedience training. What it really boils down to is the high level of trust that everyone at Finishing Touches imparts on the owners and the dogs. It makes being away from them actually feel like a treat...like the dogs are in camp. So, if your little loved one does pass their muster, there is no better place in the city for daycare and grooming.

I was recommended to Stephanie by my vet who told me that Stephanie was one of the few groomers to whom the dogs don’t mind going. It was the best recommendation that I have received for my one year old Coton! Not only did Stephanie do an excellent job grooming my puppy Posie, but we liked her so much that we started to bring Posie there 3 times per week for doggie daycare. It is a small facility but Stephanie and her colleague Sonny are so wonderful with the dogs. They are hands on and caring and also have helped tremendously with Posie’s training. I am so grateful to Stephanie for taking such good care of Posie and caring for her as if she were her own puppy!

Literally THE BEST doggy day care in NYC. Possibly in the world. Highly recommend. Would not take my dog anywhere else. The owners are incredible & it has been the best experience I could have possibly asked for

I am so thankful for the attentive care my puppy receives at Finishing Touches by Stephanie! He has been attending PlayCare for a few months and it has been a fantastic experience. He was also recently groomed for the first time and I was thrilled with the results. Stephanie and Sonny are truly wonderful people. I would encourage any doggie parent to consider their services!

We have been bringing our two dogs to Stephanie for well over two years.... She and Sonny are beyond excellent, provide incredible care and genuinely go above and beyond for each dog as if it was their own. I have experienced recently while traveling, Lola had an infection and Stephanie was great. She kept me informed at all times, sent pictures and was extremely attentive to Lolas needs. Both dogs love coming here and its obvious Stephanie loves having them!! I would definitely say of all the places I have used for daycare/boarding, this is by far the best!!

Finishing Touches has been a trusted, much loved, and very important part of our pack for several years now. My pug, Daisy, who very recently passed, went there for grooming and for daycare.She loved it there. God forbid wed walk by on a non-daycare day. Shes sit right down in front of the door expecting to go in!Id also board her with Stephanie - knowing that my little girl was having a fabulous vacation of her own while I was away.Over the years, I knew I could have Daisy stay there with complete trust and faith. Also, I found Stephanie to be a well of knowledge and often sought out her advice. This came in very handy over the last few weeks.Losing Daisy is still very new and painful - will be painful for a long time. But I take comfort whenever I walk by the store. Daisy was cared for and loved there. I feel better knowing that she got to go there a couple times a week and have the time of her life.

I recently brought my five month old Bichon puppy- Hudson- in to be groomed here for the first time. I am so over the moon happy with the level of talent Stephanie has in grooming! Hudson looks amazing- and honestly I cant even imagine anyone else doing a better job anywhere else in the world. Its amazing that this business is two blocks from where I live. I also love that Im given great advice every time I go, and that they really care about the health of the dogs they groom. A definite recommend!

I have been taking my 5 month old puppy here regularly for daycare for almost the past month. I cannot say enough positive words about this place. He has the most amazing time! He runs in as soon as we get near the door because he cant wait to play with the other dogs! The play area is always kept very clean and all of the dogs have always been well behaved and playing nicely with each other when I go inside.My pup has also had a few grooming sessions already and looks amazing and smells so clean every time.Stephanie has gone out of her way on many occasions to offer tips and advice on training and other puppy matters. You can tell that she cares so much about animals. It is also obvious that Stephanie and Sonny are very kind and loving with the animals because Im sure my little guy would not be running in with excitement to the place he gets groomed if they were not gentle and kind. I can also tell that since he started going to daycare here, he is better behaved at home and is eating and sleeping so well.

The best place to bring your dog for grooming and daycare !

Our dog Hank came here for day care, boarding, and grooming for 3+ years - and I am only using the past tense because we recently moved out of NYC. Stephanie and Sonny always took great care of Hank - and Hank was always happy to go! We just hope we can find Hank a day care and grooming provider who is as good in our new city.

After looking at various places in the neighborhood, I first went to Finishing Touches by Stephanie to have my dog groomed and Stephanie gave our dog the best grooming ever. I have continued to take our dog for grooming and have also begun to take him for occasional day care. Sonny and Stephanie know and understand dog behavior and are keenly attuned to the dogs in their care. The establishment is immaculate and I feel very good about leaving my dog there for day care and grooming.

Our dog loves going to Stephanie and Sonny for grooming and day care. They are both patient and skilled, and take wonderful care of our boy. Im very happy that we found them.

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful - caring & professional. She took the time to walk me through what she was going to do with my Pekingese and put my mind at ease about leaving my baby with her. My dog has never had a better grooming, and Ive tried several locations in the city. A couple weeks later, and it is growing out so nicely. The best part is that she recommended we drop in sometimes on our walks so that she can give my dog a treat and make him feel more comfortable for the next time he goes back. Now we cant walk by without him wanting to run in and say hi! Im so happy to have a found a groomer that cares as much about the well being of my dog as I do. Also, her pricing is equal to if not less than everywhere else Ive tried which is great considering the amount of personalized care she gives.

Ive trusted Stephanie for several years with two of my dogs, for grooming, day care, and boarding. She was first recommended by my vet. Stephanie is extremely conscientious, detailed-oriented, and very knowledgable about dogs -- on everything from behavior to food habits. The best part is I never worry about my much-loved pets when they are with her (my poodle cant wait to get there!) so I cant imagine taking my dogs anywhere else.

I started bringing my puppy to day care with Stephanie and Sonny when he was just 5 months and it changed my life! He is now 7 months old. Before that my entire life revolved around his very needy schedule. It is such a relief to have a safe place for him to enjoy the day safely burning off steam while I work and even get a workout in (guilt free) before picking him up at the end of the day. Ever since his first visit he began dragging me in that direction when out for a walk anywhere in the vicinity so he obviously loves it there. He is always eager to go and is a relaxed puppy when he gets home. It is a small boutique day care so the small dogs get a lot of attention, including potty breaks and lunch (if necessary and arranged in advance). Nothing but great things to say about Finishing Touches by Stephanie.

A caring duo to care for and/or groom your pet.They pay close and careful attention to him or her! You wont be disappointed!

We recently had a baby girl and were very nervous about how our 2 year old english bulldog --Winston--would react to her. To say we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Winston has been going to Finishing Touches since he was about 6 months old and they have done an amazing job training him - its such a relief, as he is so gentle with our daughter and listens to our commands - it has been incredible. Winston is so well trained that he knows to only play with his toys and not touch the babys toys. He is very gentle around her and very protective when he hears noise at the door. We cannot thank Stephanie and her team enough for the amazing care and training they have done with Winston!

Recently moved to NY and am so glad to have found Stephanie and Sonny! They are caring, attentive, and you can tell they really value their clients- my pup currently goes to daycare 3x/week

New to the neighborhood and fellow dog owner in our new building recommended daycare and grooming with Stephanie. My two cockapoos had the best haircuts of their 11 year old lives and they totally enjoy their time at doggie daycare. Its a relief to have such a friendly and helpful spot for my boys!

My dog has been going to Finishing Touches for 2 years. Originally he went only for grooming, but since July he has been going to daycare twice a week. Stephanie has done a fantastic job of grooming him since day one, but the real added bonus has been the daycare. Sammy has gone from reluctantly entering the shop to bounding in, excited for his day of play. The change in his demeanor is evident in everything, including his encounters with large dogs on the street - a problem in the past. After a day with Stephanie and Sonny, he always returns home with a huge smile on his face!

When I moved back to NY I needed to find a place where I could leave my two dogs and know that they would be well taken care of.I went to seven places and the only option was one - Finishing Touches By Stephanie.Stephanie and Sonny were and are a a God send. They take outstanding care of my dogs.Stephanie stays on top of their vet needs and reminds me when I need to take them.I have been boarding with Stephanie for over three years.Sadly, I lost my little Yorkie who was 15 years and 10 months old. He had cancer and the vet I went to in FL told me he was not in good shape.I took my little Joey to a vet that Stephanie recommended. Joey still had over 3 years and was fine up to the very end. Stephanie takes care of my dogs with love and caring.Whatever she says goes. She was very strict with me when it came to my dogs meds and diet.Since I travel so much, Stephanie will send me texts with their photos and videos.Losing Joey was more than heart breaking.I was shredded and I was ridden with anxiety attacks. Stephanie listened to me and put everything into perspective. I still have my littleChiuaua and she loves going to Stephanie’s.As soon as she hears the Word Stephanie sheRuns around in circles and gets so excited thatIt is a challenge to get her harness on.I would never leave my dog with anyone besides Stephanie. Not even my friends.I Bless her every time I pick up my dog.Everything at Stephanie’s is immaculate and the same dogs are always there for day care and boarding. I am a Loyal Patron and Friend.I have done the work for you. Only leave your dog with Stephanie. Her grooming skills are outstanding as well.

Our mini Australian shepherd loves coming to Stephanies! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Stephanie and her team ROCKS! Words can not describe how amazing it has been for Chiu to be groomed by Stephanie. She really took the time to get to know our dog, Chiu and its a truly special and personalized service. She has been wonderfully helpful and patient with Chius particular needs. Previously, we had used a reputable and highly recommended groomer who seemed fine. However, Chiu made it clear he was happiest when he could be groomed by Stephanie. Chiu is clearly being treated well and has a genuine bond with Stephanie and Sonny. Thank you all at Finishing Touches for all the amazing work yall have done!

Run, dont walk, and bring your dog to Finishing Touches for doggy day care, boarding and grooming!! I recently adopted a young Shih Tzu from the Humane Society and she has pretty severe separation anxiety. When I called Stephanie she spent a very long time on the phone discussing my dogs training and gave me such useful information from her many years of being in the business. You will not find more caring, meticulous, intelligent and kind people than Stephanie and Sonny. They are so knowledgable and generous with their thoughts and concern. The place is squeaky clean and Stephanie is incredibly organized and a serious detail freak. (I appreciate that as I am one, too!) They seem to know everything about the dogs that come there and have long relationships with most of them. I feel the care and supervision is so far superior to any other place I have used or researched. They are very strict about choosing appropriate dogs for playcare, so dont be put off by the process. It is for the good of all the dogs that go there and you will have complete peace of mind leaving yours there knowing that the dogs are all healthy and well behaved. There are many other places around that just seem to want to increase their headcount. Maisy has a fabulous haircut and I know that everything was done properly. My dog is happy, content and exhausted when she comes home...just what I want for her!! I dont know what I would do without them!! Thank you for everything, Stephanie and Sonny!! I would give 10 stars if I could!

I had been taking my two Chihuahuas to Finishing Touches for over 10 years! The place is excellent and the service and caring is devine. As my chis got older they developed health issues and were still groomed in a caring and professional way. Now that both dogs are gone my rescue Bichon Frise goes there. She loves it and so do I. Thank you Stef, Sonny and the gang!!!

Execellent work.. Stephanie is extremely knowledgable..

Emailed them and gave specific directions on the kind of haircut we wanted for our dog. Had to take the dog to another groomer to fix the botched haircut. Never again...

Stephanie does a top quality job!
