They were also amazingly accommodating and understanding when I got a few dates mixed up, and were able to add a few visits in on really short notice, which was so appreciated given it was 100% my mistake.

Long belated review…read more We used to have a Pekingese named Bobo that was super grouchy with groomers. Honestly, I think the groomers we used before Under One Woof may have been too rough when grooming him so I am so glad Under One Woof is here. I believe Seiji was the first to be able to groom him and I remember he kissed our dog the moment they met. Then, Naomi took over his grooming. She did phenomenal with him and he loved her so much. After our dearest Bobo passed, we waited years before getting another dog. Now, we have our baby Remy. I requested for Naomi because she is the only one we trust and because we know she does such a wonderful job. Now, Naomi takes care of Remy. My mom does have specific requests for shorter cut and Naomi understands and executes the request so well. I asked for pictures and they sent it to me. So cute. I'd definitely like to try more poodle like cuts when it gets colder! I usually do drop off at 8:30 and I pick him up some time from 12pm - 1pm.

From day one, Roy made us feel completely at ease. He sent daily photos and videos of Dior having the time of his life with his furry friends, which was huge for us since Dior never really got to socialize like that before.

We couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience and will 100% be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where their dog will be truly cared for.

Roy at PawPaw is truly amazing and the only person I trust. I came home to a beautiful, clean and better dog than when I left!! It's like she remembers her early training again-- she sits on command, is quiet on command (now HOW did you do that??!!) and is just perfect!! Holy cow!! Roy sends pictures and videos every day so you know that she is safe and happy. I loved seeing her "tucked in" at night with the other pups. I don't trust anyone else with my dog other than family and Roy. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog. I appreciate it more than you know.

Terrible customer service. Lack of empathy for pets and human beings…read more My dog had his first vet appointment at the Providence on Webster last month. While I spent a lot of money, I was happy to know that my dog finally got some treatment for his arthritis. Due to my schedule, they scheduled me for his monthly Librela shot at the Pacific location. I got a call today (on the day of his appointment) saying that I need a record of his vaccinations before he can get his second dosage of Liberla shot. During the first visit, they never once mentioned that I need to submit his record of vaccinations, as I don't have them. They said that according to CA law, they can't give him his Librela shot without the rabies booster, which is understandable, but I wish they would have told me that even prior to sedating him, giving him X-rays and his first dosage of Librela. Since my dog desperately needs his Librela shot today, I asked if they could comped the $37 rabies shot. They said "no". I spent $1800 on the first vet visit and his monthly Librela shot is $180. I would have never done that if I would have known about their requirements and terrible customer service. The reception stood firm on their $37 rabies shot requirement, never apologized or even empathized with my frustration. It's ridiculous how fast they take our money, then make rules and refuse to compromise because they know that our pets need the car. Very disappointing.

Signing my babe Phobos up for pack walks with Hadley has been *HANDS DOWN* the best decision I…read morecould have ever made for my nervous guy. Phobos is extremely people shy, and scares easily in loud/noisy environments so as you can imagine, it's been a huge challenge taking him anywhere. Walks were extremely stressful, always cut short and we were beginning to feel pretty hopeless since we had tried EVERYTHING we could conjure up to improve his confidence-to no avail. It's only been several months since Phobos has been joining Hadley & the pack on walks, but I'm honestly in disbelief with how much progress he's made already. Just yesterday, we brought him along with us to Moseley's Cafe to grab a quick bite (being cautiously optimistic), and he did SO well even though it was a tight, crowded area. He remained calm, collected and even laid down to enjoy a patch of sun. I was absolutely shocked. Only a couple months ago, he'd be barking at people, pulling every-which-way to get away, and we would have most likely caused a scene. I can't even begin to tell y'all how much my fiancé and I appreciate Hadley's patience and expertise in navigating these tricky waters. We will forever be grateful for Hadley's help and bringing much needed relief to our little fam. I genuinely feel so lucky that I even have the privilege to write this review. Thank you so, so, SO much for all you do. You changed our lives, for real. - Amanda, Alex & Phobos
