    Rio the Pup looking beautiful
    Ortiz B.

    I had such a bad experience a few months ago at a large chain grooming store that I looked on Yelp to find someone with good reviews. I am glad I came across Messy Mutts (Kaleigh). Her and her husband have a nice, sanitary, and modified mobile trailer that is perfect for the service they provide. They have a seating area where you're allowed to be by your fur-baby, so I got to be there from beginning to end, which relieved both of us from anxiety. My puppy hates baths and grooming, but Kaleigh has a way with her animals and knows what to do to relax them as much as possible. I did not have good expectations on how my pup would behave with her since he whines, barks, and cries at every bath I give him, and was pleased to see that he wasn't as nervous as he's been in the past. I believe that had to do with the care and gentleness Kaleigh handled him. Her trailer didn't fit on my street which wasn't the end of the world, I met up with them a few blocks away, and they also set up at the dog beach I believe. I am recommending this service and hope to be a client for a long time. Thanks guys.

    Luna After Grooming :)
    Jennifer E.

    AMAZING!!! I have a four month old English cocker spaniel named Luna and I was looking for a caring groomer that I could trust for my puppy's first groom. I came across Messy Mutt on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. Kaleigh responded almost immediately and scheduled me in right away. Kaleigh explained everything that was going to be done beforehand and set my mind at ease. I also love how she said she would play with Luna and get to know her before starting the grooming. Kaleigh updated me during the process and when I picked up Luna two hours later I was amazed. She smelled great and looked great. I could not be more happy with the results. So much care and detail at an affordable price! Kaleigh has turned me into a loyal client! Can't wait for her next groom :)

    Max looking his best after his visit to Messy Mutt!

    Best groomer experience I've EVER had! I was very hesitate to take my cat (Max) to a groomer due to how traumatizing it could be. But all my worries were eased the minute we walked in! Their space is open and welcoming. Steven and Kaleigh let us see the whole process and thoroughly explained it all. Which made me know he was in good hands. My cat was so comfortable with them he was even cleaning himself post bath. Which is HUGE! Max is a rag doll so very hairy and he was covered in fleas before. But now he is flea free and smells SOOO good! I've never felt his fur this soft. Steve & Kaleigh truly care about your animals experience and well being. What more could an animal owner ask for! Thanks guys!

    I've definitely found my new groomer! Brought my 5 month only puppy & I got him back so clean & smelling so fresh with his nails perfectly trimmed! I will be making more appointments with Kaleigh!

    We have been looking for a consistent groomer for our mini Aussie for a while. Most groomers are booked months out and don't communicate much through the process. Kayleigh was so kind and understanding since our pup is very timid sometimes and sensitive skin. She updated us on how he was doing throughout the grooming. He came out so shiny and happy. Needless to say we don't need to keep searching for a groomer. ThNks so much Messy mutt!

    Business owner's customer service.

    I am SO sad that I cannot get my cat groomed by this business. I have been trying and Trying and TRYING to get an appointment. However, the communication is HORRIBLE (see pic attached). I understand 100% that this business only has a couple of employees who are fully booked. However, that is no excuse poor time management and bad customer service. I would LOVE to try this business in the future. PLEASE TAKE THIS AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

    Ocean freshly groomed!

    Kaleigh and Steve are my heroes! These two wonderful owners, groomers and pet-lovers go above and beyond EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Ocean, my fur baby, was hit by a car on July 5, four years ago. I saw it, I stopped, and I scooped up this beautiful little girl that was left for dead. After days of flyers and advertisements, knocking on doors, I rescued her -- best thing I've ever done in my life. Ocean has PTSD, and seriously high anxiety, but Steve and Kaleigh treat her like their very own, and she loves going to the Spa. They are patient with her, and let her air dry and she doesn't enjoy the noise of the blow dryer. These two are saints. And if all that isn't enough... I've been in Denver for the last month, and Ocean desperately needed to be groomed, but Kaleigh is out because she is having a baby. Contractions and all, Kaleigh and Steve took Ocean today and groomed her for me -- I can't thank them enough as I trust my dog with no one else. Messy Mutts is where it's at Long Beach, take your animal here, you won't ever be disappointed and your animal will be loved like their own. Thank you, Kaleigh and Steve!!

    Katie T.

    Just the best! Steve and Kaleigh really work with your beloved family member to make sure they are nothing but comfortable. They just went mobile and will come to you! (Well as close as they can depending parking) My little Daisy just got groomed today, and I was able to hang out and watch them do their thing the whole time. They gave some nice advice about care between groomings and just how they get my Daisy smelling so good for so long. I could tell Daisy was happy after, she did her happy whine the whole walk home. Truly a wonderful couple, and you can tell they love what they do. Highly recommend!

    The owners are so caring and loving to our babies. Thank you for your services. It is so rare to find a business where you can feel the pride and work ethic of those who run the business. To trust someone to take your beloved pets unsupervised for hours is even more difficult. So glad I found messy mutt. They even found an issue with one of my nails in his dew claw to get checked out that my vet had missed from a recent vet visit! Thank you for such attention to detail

    he slept like a baby on the way home. then woke energetic, refreshed and clean- thanks guys!

    OMGOSH Messy Mutt is the place to go for your kitty grooming needs. Steve and his beautiful wife are absolutely Awesome! my little Alex can be a handful yet they both were able to work with him and clean this little lil messy boy. Messy Mutt is the only place ill ever go. Thanks guys! :)

    That tail
    Maghan B.

    There is a reason this place has + 200 reviews and rated 5 stars! What a wonderful experience :) I took my 1 1/2 year old husky here for the first time today. With the weather changing I knew she was starting to shed her coat and figured I should stop procrastinating and take her. I have grown up with dogs but we never took them to the groomers and always figured it a waste of money since I could do the same job at home right? Wow - am I an idiot. From the start of booking the appointment to the very end the Messy Mutts lived up to its name. They explained everything they were going to do, treated my Lucy with amazing kindness and patience, and even provided tips I could do at home along the way. From dropping off to picking her back up the whole process took about 3 hours and was well worth it - Lucy has never looked or felt better! We will for sure be going back next month :)

    Penélope and Pepa

    They took really good care of my cat "Pepa" - got rid of her knotted hair. Now she's a happy clean cat and she's hardly shedding. Messy Mutt owner is awesome with animals Now I'm gonna take in her sister "Penelope"

    Princess feeling good and smelling terrific after Messy Mutts took great care of her.

    See all

My Bichon/mini poodle has a super fluffy coat, and I love keeping him in that cute teddy bear style, but most groomers end up shaving him way too short despite my requests. From the very first phone call with Signal Hill Pet Grooming, I knew I had found the right place. The receptionist was incredibly sweet and welcoming, making the appointment process so easy. When we arrived, the groomer, Gloria, greeted us warmly, really listened to what I wanted, and immediately understood exactly what my pup needed. When I picked him up, I was blown away. He looked AMAZING--calm, happy, and honestly like he didn't even want to leave. I love that they're kennel-free, so the dogs aren't locked up before or after grooming. That alone gave me so much peace of mind. This was hands-down the best haircut he's ever had. Not a single nick or cut (which sadly has happened at other groomers), and the entire staff made me feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. He smiled the entire car ride home, and I could tell he knew he looked extra cute I've officially found my go-to groomer, and I couldn't be happier!

It was a last minute appointment needed for the little pup and with the help of Yelp, we found Sara. I put in a searched which came up with places for what I was looking for. There were a few places that came up but she was the first to reach out. The sweet conversation explained what I was looking for and she replied professionally with what services they offered. Between a few back and forth we were able to get him in last minute. She squeezed us in day off which we were very thankful of. The place itself was in a mini strip mall with a few other businesses. A thrift/vintage shop, a bar, a few coffee shops, hair salon and nail shop. There's a decent size parking lot but when we arrived it was packed but lucky enough to find a spot. When we walked in, it was a little confusing as it was a vet. The ladies behind the counters were all sweet when we checked in but wasn't sure we were at the right place. Well, it's a vet and groomers on site. It was just a couple minutes wait till Sara came out to greet us. First off, she's such a doll and sweetheart. Very professional and takes pride in what she does. Chatted with here for a little bit about what we wanted before handing over the little pup to her. We were quoted about 2 and half hour or so which she'll call us 20 minutes before hand to let us know he'll be ready soon. Freddie Mercury was in good hand. Picking him up, he was such a cutie. The bathing, cut and grooming was great. Nails were cut and file for that nice finished look. Also he had the cutest little bow tie on which was the little icing on the cake. From the chat on Yelp, Sara explained all the pricing and services ahead of time to give us the breakdown. As it was our first time, she did take good care of us with everything. Total for everything and extra add on including gratuity and discounts for first time, it was just short of 130.00. Price wise for everything was good. It was worth it and her service was very well worth it. Even though we're not from the area and it was a last minute appointment, we're keeping her in our book as we'll be back in town again and know Freddie will be in good hands next time. The place was very professional and clean. There's a drinks section with a mini fridge of drinks and a water station for refilling your bottles and coffee machine. It was busy which is great for them. Sara, a professional and sweet person who has a special skills for what she does. Friendly, sweet and a doll. Highly recommend Sara.
