“HI Emily. Thanks for the great review! Laura and all our groomers take great pride in their work, and we are so happy to hear that Laura takes such good care of your sweet Bella and I know she greatly appreciates the recommendation! ❤️ Thank you so much for your support!”

What the top quarter does differently
The 8 pet groomers with the highest reply rates against the other 24. Three contrasts, each measured, none of them about star rating:
- They answer most of what comes in. Median reply rate 97% versus 8%.
- They leave no negative review unanswered. 75% of the top quarter have zero unanswered reviews of three stars or fewer, against 25% of the rest.
- Customers keep writing to them. Median reviews a month 3.4 for the top quarter, 1.6 for the rest. Replying does not create reviews on its own — but in this market the pet groomers that answer are also the ones customers keep writing to.
How fast reviews arrive
Ranked on Google reviews received per month, among pet groomers with at least 50 reviews. Pace is the number that decides how much any one bad review weighs.

What “normal” looks like in Minneapolis
The typical Minneapolis pet groomer in this audit has 140 Google reviews, a 4.8 rating, answers 29% of them, and receives about 1.7 a month. Ratings cluster high in almost every local category, which is why this page never ranks on them — the difference customers can actually see is in the replies.
How Oh Local helps a Minneapolis pet groomer
Most of your customers pay, leave, and are gone — the review only happens if something they took with them asks for it. The pet groomers at the top of this page answer what comes in and keep it coming: a review link on the receipt or a card, a reply to every negative review within days (how to write one), and no unanswered three-star review a customer can find first.
How it works
- Run the free audit. We read your public Google reviews and replies and send you the numbers: reply rate, the reviews still waiting for an answer, and the oldest of them — with the table on this page to put them beside.
- Claim your page. Pick your listing, and your QR card and short link are ready to print — from your own phone, no onboarding call.
- Get the weekly email. Every new review with its reply drafted, private feedback that came in, and the short list of what to fix on your listing and site.
- Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.
