You can tell she is a dog lover. She also has a beautiful backyard with a majestic tree that I wished I could hang out in. Her dog Bentley is an energetic but super sweet Whippet. Debbie sent daily updates and photos that helped ease my anxiety over leaving our pup for the first time. I would totally recommend Happy Paws and will definitely use again in future

Debbie welcomed him with loving arms and took exceptional care of him despite his challenging personality. She is very responsive, sends daily updates with photos, and puts your mind at ease while you're away. She was a beautiful backyard for the dogs to play in and takes them on daily walks. She allowed us to drop off Obbi the afternoon before we traveled and didn't charge us! She was also super flexible with pickup time when we returned home. I really appreciate that she only boards one dog at a time, so they get her undivided attention and care. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much again, Debbie! Obbi can't wait to play with Bentley again!

Been there once, just last week, but was really impressed by every interaction, from the call to…read moreget information to the booking, to the drop off and the pick up. And most importantly, our dog looked really fantastic. Like, incredible. We plan on trying this place for our other dogs next. If they did this great with the shedder, I'm sure they'll do a great job with the other two. I would rate their prices as toward the high end, but not the highest. And frankly, I've learned that you get what you pay for when it comes to grooming. I'd rather pay a fair price for the difficult labor groomers do when they handle (with sharp objects) our most precious family members, and to do so with professionalism and friendliness. I look forward to going to them again soon.

Recently, my dog Louas lost his bonded sibling from which, until recently he had never been…read moreseparated. This included going to the vet, getting groomed, going to the park, and just hanging out looking outside the window. Make matters worse two weeks after his sibling passed away removed. My poor dog Luis has been going insane ever since when I leave him alone he screams and cries and barks and claws. He's really having a tough time. For this reason, I have been grooming him at home myself because I was fearful of leaving him with a groomer who might not be sensitive to his plight. I hired a mobile groomer, but they canceled that the last moment. Desperate, I called Doggy Balboa Grooming in Van Nuys. They're small, but very well functioning grooming salon was perfect for Louas. They took him in right away and were as gentle as could be. I came back and Lewis looked like a whole new dog. I expected him to be shivering with anxiety, but instead his little tail was wagging is very happy. The cost for a bath and a haircut that including nail trimming teeth brushing and all that stuff was only $85. I would've paid twice that to have Luis taken care of properly. Mostly what I loved about these guys is that they were not afraid to show me their facility. They let me in and showed me where the actual do the grooming. I think there's probably only 12 crates total in the whole salon salon. Maybe even less. That means your dog has their full attention the entire time they're there. Louas has a permanent grooming salon now and I could not be happier

1 STAR -- $32 GROOMING, $17.32 MANDATORY "TIP"…read more I brought my dog here because Jenny S. had what appeared to be a long list of glowing reviews. Unfortunately, after actually reading through them more carefully, I realized there was an important piece of context missing: many of the reviews are from people who describe themselves as longtime clients who had their dogs groomed by Jenny before she opened this shop. That suddenly made a lot more sense. Because apparently the glowing reviews predate the part of the experience I found most outrageous: checkout. My dog's grooming service was $32. When I went to pay, the credit card machine forced me to select from three tip options. There was NO option to enter my own tip, NO "no tip" option, and they do not accept cash. And here's another particularly deceptive part: the credit card machine displayed the tip choices ONLY as dollar amounts. It did not show the corresponding percentages, as most modern checkout systems do. So instead of seeing something like 15%, 20%, or 25%, you're simply presented with dollar amounts and expected to choose one. The LOWEST tip the machine would allow me to select was $17.32. That is a 54% tip on a $32 grooming service. So my choices were apparently: pay an enormous, predetermined tip, or... what exactly? There was no reasonable way to simply pay the advertised $32 and leave. Had I accepted the lowest tip option, my $32 grooming appointment would have become $49.32. A tip is supposed to be voluntary. If you want to suggest 15%, 20%, or 25%, fine. If you want customers to enter whatever amount they feel is appropriate, even better. But forcing customers to choose from preset tip amounts where the LOWEST option is more than half the cost of the service is an absolutely bizarre and deeply unpleasant checkout experience. And the fact that they don't accept cash makes the lack of a reasonable "custom tip" or "no tip" option even more ridiculous. You can't simply say, "I'll pay the $32 and leave whatever cash tip I choose." I specifically chose this business because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. But after reading them more closely, I noticed that many are essentially testimonials from friends and previous clients describing experiences with Jenny before she even had this storefront and checkout system. Which explains why those reviews don't mention the thing I actually experienced as a paying customer. They couldn't. The checkout didn't exist yet. But what made this experience even worse is what happened afterward. I called. Several times. I also texted several times to try to address the issue directly. No response. Not a call back. Not a text. Nothing. So now I'm left with a $32 grooming service that I was pressured into paying $49.32 for, a checkout system that wouldn't allow me to choose a reasonable tip or decline one, a machine that conveniently displayed the tip amounts without showing the percentages, and a business that wouldn't respond when I tried to discuss it afterward. I genuinely feel robbed. I'm not questioning whether Jenny is capable of grooming dogs. I'm questioning a business practice that puts a customer in the position of having to choose a 54% tip as the least expensive option after the service has already been performed--and then ignores the customer when she tries to address it. If you want to charge $49.32 for a grooming service, charge $49.32. But advertise the actual price. Don't advertise $32, put a tip screen in front of the customer, refuse cash, hide the percentages, make $17.32 the cheapest possible tip, and then ignore the customer when she calls and texts afterward. That is not hospitality. That's tip gouging dressed up as a checkout screen. UPDATE: Owner reached out to me JUST 2 mins after my post! Crazy that she didn't have time to answer my phone call or text message to her business phone...

I wanted to share a memorable experience from when Erica was pet sitting my Yorkie, Sirius Black…read more It was only the second day, and I was starting to miss him quite a bit. I got a video from Erica showing Sirius having an absolute blast in the backyard. He was running around chasing a toy, and he looked really happy. Erica really went above and beyond, taking him for long walks and making sure he got plenty of exercise. I loved how she engaged him during their walks, taking the time to let him explore and sniff around. It was clear that she has a great way with dogs. Sirius can be a little shy around new people, so it was really reassuring to see him so comfortable and having fun with her. This whole experience reinforced how important it is to have someone caring for your pet who truly understands their needs and takes the time to interact with them. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Erica--she definitely made my time away much easier knowing Sirius was in such good hands.

After finally getting an appointment, I can honestly say they far exceeded my expectations. The full-service grooming only took about two hours, which was much faster than many other groomers I've used. Even better, the price was very affordable for the quality of service provided. My dog came back looking great, clean, and well-groomed. After this experience, I completely understand why they're always booked. The combination of quality work, efficiency, and reasonable pricing makes them a popular choice. I'll definitely be coming back and recommend booking ahead if you can!
