    Happy clean Shelby
    Loretta P.

    When I picked up my dog, she was happy and smelled great! Staff were nice, the place was clean, I have no complaints.

    They take great care of my Cleo and my moose. I highly recommend them. I am so glad I was able to find a groomer that could also groom my cat. They always come back fresh and happy

    Love Sofia at Dapper Doggery!

    Excellent, clean, and well run dog grooming establishment. "Edie" loves her groomer, Sofia. Sofia does an outstanding job every time. She's professional, gentle and values her clients' time. I would highly recommend her!

    Justin, You and your Team knocked it out of the park with my two Goldens. Thank you so much for doing what you do, and doing it so well and efficiently!!! You've earned a customer for the long haul!

    Quality care and good customer service. We drop our fur babies off and in no time we are picking them up with fresh haircuts and baths. So glad we found them. Don't hesitate, they do not disappoint. Your dog can be Dapper too!

    My dog was a mess she had weeds under her and she was so mangled,they got me last minute because she was in pain . They have new owners and it's much cleaner. To my surprise when I got home I gotta little photo shoot , extra nice touch , they did a outstanding job . Love the mangy dog in Poway and her happy mom.

    Cut the back of my dogs behind
    Jessica B.

    I understand that dogs can be anxious and difficult to groom, and my goldendoodle can be skiddish, however I wish I got an apology for the cuts on my dog's behind. When I called to explain, the owner was quite defensive, saying he doesn't remember it ever happening and things like this don't happen in his shop. I had to tell him I had pictures to prove it before he'd really listen to Me. I'm more bothered by the lack of ownership of the issue and I would have preferred the groomer when I picked up my dog to own up to it, tell me what happened, instead of me finding out by watching my dog whimper for hours after grooming and then to cal and get a defensive 'wasn't me'. Won't be going here again.

    Very first visit went great. They were timely, my pet was well groomed and seemed comfortable. He does not usually do well with groomers he is not yet 2 years old but he did well and I prepped him for the visit by making sure it was early in the day when he is usually calmer. Staff was friendly and the place was clean. 3 precious little dogs were running around playing when I arrived and the staff member made every effort to help with introductions for my pet. Going back mid Dec. and I will add another post then.

    Mattie...happy and clean!

    Very friendly, quick, and did a wonderful job for my little dog Mattie!! Thank you, will see you next time!!

    My goldendoodle needed to be groomed pre-delivery of her puppies. She was treated with gentle care and had a great groom. She can't wait for her spa day post whelping her pups!

    Pretty sure you aren't open Sundays???????

    See all

    I decided to take my doodle to Dapper Doggery this time and I'm so happy with the groom she received.

    My dogs and I had a great experience with Bobby's pet grooming! My border collie mix and Aussie are…read morereally easy going when I bathe them, but can be a bit anxious and weary of strangers - my collie mix especially. So hearing that they were able to bring him out of his shell and get past his shyness was nice to hear. They even played some fetch with him while I was on my way to pick him up! I was able to meet and talk for a bit with the owner. Really nice guy and the groomer was very sweet and upbeat!

    I do not usually leave reviews, but I feel I have to share this for other dog owners…read more I brought my two year old French Bulldog here. She is one of the friendliest, sweetest dogs you could ever meet and has been to other groomers without ever having a bad experience. She usually enjoys going. This time was completely different. When I came back and asked how she was doing, I was told, "I don't know, I didn't touch her." That immediately concerned me. I could not even see my dog at first, and when I asked again, I was told she had been isolated because she was barking. When I finally saw her, she was in a small cage, shaking and clearly terrified. This is not normal behavior for her. As a dog owner, you know your dog, and something was clearly wrong. I calmly expressed that I did not appreciate how she was being handled and that something did not feel right. Later, instead of addressing my concerns, I received a message from the owner accusing me of being rude and telling me not to come back. I was not rude. I was concerned about my dog. I have taken her to multiple groomers, and she has never reacted like this. That alone tells me everything I need to know. I will never bring my dog back here and would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about their pet's well being.

    I have a Great Pyr and Anatolian Shepherd and we love Dirty Dogs self wash AND grooming!…read more I usually come here just for the self wash with my Anatolian, because he's short hair and I figured why not save a few bucks and do it myself. He's a big boy and also a big scaredy cat. He doesn't like the height of the tubs unfortunately but we had a staff member assist with picking him up and loading him into the tub...which was very kind!! Overall self wash is a decent enough price but I believe they have deals on certain days. Now on to the grooming... Had to use their grooming services last min because my usual groomer was completely booked! Dirty Dogs staff was extremely accommodating and communicative during the book process after I booked online. We happen to get Miss Megan and WE LOVE HER!! She was so great with my hairy girl and really took the time to get all the mats out!! She did really incredible work and I HIGHLY recommend going to her but all the groomers there are wonderful!

    I've been a loyal customer of Dirty Dogs for years, and absolutely love our groomer Denise (she's…read morethe reason I am giving this business some stars and not just one) but it's honestly disappointing to see the direction things are going. One of the reasons I originally chose this place was because of their branding around organic, thoughtful, and customer-friendly grooming care. It felt like they genuinely prioritized the well-being of the dogs and the experience for owners. That's why the new $25 "cage-free" charge doesn't sit right with me. This change was implemented April 1,2026. Not kenneling dogs after grooming shouldn't be treated like some kind of premium add-on--it should be part of standard, humane care. I would think that most customers aren't leaving their dogs there for half a day so this fee feels unnecessary and out of touch with how people actually use the service. It comes across less like an improvement in care and more like a way to tack on an extra charge under the guise of something that should already be included. For a brand that markets itself as being about quality and ethical grooming, this change feels inconsistent and, frankly, a bit disappointing. I really hope they reconsider this policy because it takes away from what made this place stand out in the first place.

    Hands down horrible grooming experience. I had called earlier requesting someone who knows how to…read moredo poodle hair and was assured everyone knew how and they get doodles daily so they are well educated on poodle/doodle cuts. The lady who checked me in was super condescending and was not friendly at all. I didn't know my dogs didn't have the bordetella vaccine and she was so rude and talking down to me to "educate me" of the risk. I told her I'll go ahead with it as my dog doesn't go to dog parks and she further said "well he's exposed to dogs cause here we have all kinds of dogs" ... Probably should've just left but I wanted my dogs hair groomed. I showed her a picture of what haircut he has had. I wanted one of my dog's haircut in the past and this is what they gave me. They told me they could touch it up within 3 days for free and I asked what they could do and was told it's better I just grow it out. Disappointed that they didn't offer me a solution to how they could fix it and yet they are the "expert" and still charged me full price ... now my dog has a botched haircut. Definitely DO NOT go to them if you have a doodle/poodle. This is poor service and quality. Pictures say it all, you be the judge. Not sure how someone could miss the inspiration unless they were amateurs.
