Staff is always super helpful and you are greeted right when you walk in the door. Good variety of pet supplies and food to choose from. I have been going here for years and would recommend over the big box pet stores!

Best haircut my dog has ever had and very patient groomers. He's sometimes nervous and they gave him the exact haircut I asked for. While many groomers might be just tried shaving him. He came back fluffy, happy, and soft.

Our Owners

Petsakes owner Kelley Kinser and her husband Gabriel "Gator" Kinser met as music students in college and pivoted to entrepreneurship early in their careers. Both licensed real estate agents, they enjoy shopping for good deals and going above and beyond for clients and friends. Their home is kept warm and fuzzy by a plethora of Borzoi and a token Doberman that Kelley enjoys exhibiting at dog shows in her free time while "Spectator Gator" enjoys cheering from the front row. They are active in a variety of local and regional dog show clubs and nonprofit organizations and enjoy traveling with and without the dogs.
