“We love The City Dog! The staff is extremely welcoming, and you can tell that they truly do care about the dogs that go there for boarding or day care. They take the time to get to know their clients (both dogs and humans)! It always brightens our day when we get to see pictures posted of our Golden Retriever on Instagram and Facebook! Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!” – Jacqueline K.

Not Your Average Pet Groomer

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Becky Hinga, co-owner of The City Dog.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Becky about what makes The City Dog unique compared to the many other pet groomers in Ohio. Becky told us:

“We care about the dogs. We got into the business to make a good place for dogs.”

Becky went on to tell us that The City Dog is a unique, upscale dog daycare and grooming shop that’s located in downtown Columbus and provides each pet with exceptional care in a safe, loving and clean environment.

We also asked Becky about The City Dog’s mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“I tell my employees to remember who writes our paychecks. Our mission is to always do the right thing, no matter who’s watching you.”

Building Success by Doing the Right Thing

Becky credits The City Dog’s strong online reputation to their commitment to always doing the right thing in their facility.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, The City Dog has grown through word of mouth and not much else, which speaks to the kind of service they offer.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Becky’s expert advice for them:

“If you’re doing the right thing on the ground, then your online reputation will reflect that.”


Congratulations to The City Dog for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Becky, for taking the time to speak with us!
