Called and was able to get an appointment for a couple days out. We have a standard poodle mix and we had been gone for 2 weeks camping and in rivers. So she was dirty and matted. Had pretty much expected to shave her since she was living her best life being dirty and free. So we did. It took our groomer about 3 hours to shave her. But when we got her back, we could tell she hadn't been mistreated. There are times when we get her back and she skittish or jumpy. She was perfectly fine. I did ask her to cotton ball her ears so she wouldn't get an ear infection since she's prone to those. She didn't get one. She looks so cute, Is so soft, and smells good. She did exactly what I asked her to do. 10/10 Will definitely be using them again! Great price for being mobile grooming! read more

NeliPet - Clean face. She couldn't see before - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

NeliPet is SO AMAZING and I highly RECOMMEND her! I have two Persian cats who shed a lot and have eye stain issues. (This is a common occurrence w this breed) Neli always cleans around their eyes, de-mats them, cuts their nails, cleans their ears, and makes them look a few shades whiter and more pristine than EVER. I am very OCD and like to keep them perfect and regal I have learned that most groomers say they can do cats but it is very very difficult to find a good cat groomer. Neli is the best and mobile too!! read more

NeliPet was remarkably kind, consistent with immediate call back, appointment scheduling, service descriptions and client reviews. Neli did an amazing amount of de shedding, conditioning, overall careful grooming of my 13 year old anxious pup! Afterwards, he has been completely itch free and he's immaculately trimmed, with a slight scent (not overly strong as I had requested). Very happy to highly recommend NeliPet!! We will look forward to seeing her in a few weeks! read more

NeliPet - Sleeping peacefully after his Tidying Up appointment with NeliPet! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Cat Groomer Extraordinaire! I thought having a Ragdoll who detests being brushed came with being covered in cat fur at all times and seeing it floating in the air but then I decided to get my cat a Lion cut and I am amazed! Neli also took the time to educate me including tips on how to train him for future home & professional grooming and taught me about their hair. Even though my cat HATES being brushed, I forced a few minutes a day to avoid mats. I was heartbroken to learn that he did have some mats closest to the skin - knowing they're gone, that alone was worth the service. Speaking of worth: pet grooming isn't cheap, having someone come to you instead of course is going to them adds to the cost, and expertise is incredibly valuable. Having said that, Neli's pricing is very reasonable. As I stated, my cat HATES being groomed. He's the sweetest, most fun, and curious cat. He sees the comb or brush and he's ready to fight! I not only appreciate Neli's expertise but her dedication to getting this job done which included allowing him to take breaks as he needed. read more

Neli is awesome. Was on time, listened to us regarding groom ideas and her expertise helped in the final style of our babies. Best grooming they have had - will definitely ask her back next time. read more

I have very hard to groom, Cat. He was very matted and needed a full groom. Neli is absolutely amazing and calm and extremely competent. My Cat was a very difficult first groom and the care and consideration she showed him was so appreciated. We have him on a schedule now so he will be able to be maintained without a complete shave. She was absolutely amazing. I have had other groomers who have actually nicked my cats delicate skin. There was none of that in her grooming. She took a lot of time and care. Worth every penny! read more

I have two miniature schnauzers who were in such bad shape. Not only did Nelipet do a great job on my dogs, my dogs were calm and happy after which is a first for us. My dogs were in such bad shape and they look so good, like little show dogs and they're calm as well. I highly highly recommend! Thank you Nelipet and see you in a few weeks!!! read more

NeliPet - Linus after his groom with Miss Neli - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

From the moment I booked my appointment, I was impressed with Neli pets ( Dear lovely Naghmeh ) very professionalism and attention to detail. The service was incredibly convenient, with the groomer arriving promptly and creating a comfortable environment for my anxious dog, Vince .The grooming was exceptional, with Vince looking and feeling his best after. Highly recommend!" Vince is so lucky Thank you read more

We've used Neli a few times, and she's over the top in her field!!!!! We have two pugs: our senior pug, Ruca(12), and Wrinkles (6). We've always been extremely satisfied customers, but during yesterday's session, Neli went above and beyond! She noticed puss/blood when expressing our Ruca's glands, and after she finished her service, she insisted I bring him in ASAP because of possible rupture or infection. I got the soonest appointment the following day. The vet told me at least five times how impressed she was with my groomer! Ruca had beginning signs of infection, and the gland was on its way to rupture! Because Neli caught it in time, that was all avoided, and we left with a round of antibiotics. In addition, they were so impressed with his ears. Although he's old and barely can hear, the vet said she could tell the groomer did an excellent job cleaning it out! NOW, with peace of mind, Ruca was ok; we could enjoy both our pug's fresh smell and soft coat!!!! I don't know what magic shampoo or brush she uses, but it works with extreme summer shedding!!! Every time Neli is done with them, you can tell they got the works!!!! SPA PAW QUALITY! Ears, nails, glands, nose wrinkles, and coat! read more

Love Neli Pet! I've always had my Scottish Fold's fur trimmed and have always been disappointed with the fact that the shedding never gets better. Neli recommended her de-shedding process as an alternative, which did the trick! My kitty was also bathed, nails trimmed and ears cleaned. It's been over a week and my cat still smells amazing! I found Neli on next-door and I am so thankful for her expertise! I can finally pick up my cat without getting fur all over me! read more

My bichon-poo's hair was long and matted after having been under someone else's care long-term. When we got him back, I contacted Neli to book a full service grooming appointment for my dog. She was responsive and was luckily able to take him in the following week. She was reliable and communicated with me thoroughly via text. Even though it was pouring rain that evening, she was punctual and did an amazing job with my dog! Even though he was tangled and matted, she had to shave him but was able to still maintain a cute roundish face on my pup!! She's very meticulous and really took great care of him. He looks amazing now. I can't wait to have her come back when his hair grows out a bit so that she can make him look like a teddy bear. Thank you, Neli!! read more

NeliPet - Ferrero looking adorable after his time with Neli - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Neli is an excellent cat groomer, and cat groomers are very hard to find. This was a learning experience for me because I have never had a cat groomed. I have a Ragdoll now and LOTS of fur. Neli also did a great job trimming her nails. So, I've learned how to groom her better myself, although I think I will have Neli once a year. It's quite expensive- but worth it read more

NeliPet - Fur Baby - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Our cat, Oliver, needed a professional to clear up his matted fur and bathe him properly. Setting up an appointment was easy and it worked for my schedule. Neli got to my house early (which I kind of love because I got to leave work a little extra early but I digress). I brought Oliver out in his carrier to her amazing, equipped van and we discussed what needed to be done. She was very good at explaining everything down to the last hair (no pun intended). When Oliver was done, Neli texted me and I met her and my fuzz monster out at the van. She explained everything that had been done and how I should perform regular grooming on Oliver so that we don't wind up with another "Matted Mess". Neli was an absolute professional. A professional with a clear love of animals and that's exactly what I have been looking for the last year. I couldn't be happier with her and the amazing job she does. She clearly knows what she's doing and we have set up regular visits going forward. I DEFINATELY recommend her!! read more

The search is over! NeliPet is the last dog groomer you'll ever want to see. I've bounced around different dog groomers because my dog Winnie is a little bit older (10) and very anxious/sensitive. Neli is so kind and caring. You can tell she really loves animals and it shows in her interactions with them. She's also a wonderful groomer! Seriously, Winnie has never looked better! Neli also brought up a few possible issues/things to watch out for/address at the vet for Winnie, and I really appreciated that. Thank you Neli for everything and we can't wait to see you next time! read more

Neli has continued to care for my little old man, who is 16 now, and provides such care and compassion to him at his advanced age. She also has been grooming my new dog, who is 2 now, a doodle, and very anxious. He looks perfect every single time. We are moving soon and heartbroken to be leaving Neli. read more

We were looking for a new mobile groomer, during a difficult time. Covid made us very careful about who we allowed to come into our home and pick up our dogs to be groomed. When I called Neli, she said that she was vaccinated, which gave us great comfort. We have had a couple groomers in the past, but Neli's attention to detail is out of this world. Stanley and Wattson always come out just as expected! Neli makes great suggestions, and takes her time. One of her best qualities, is that she worked for a vet, prior to starting her own business. This gives her an innate ability to make us aware of issues that might be arising, such as ear infections or the need for teeth cleaning. She knows her stuff! She does it all by herself and she is killing it! Give her a shot, you won't be dissappointed. read more

NeliPet - Stanley and Wattson thrilled with their new cuts and complimentary dog bandana - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Best mobile groomer! From the moment of first contact, very easy to work with and to schedule an appointment with her. She was on time, van was extremely clean and she was very attentive to our wants with our dog. We were given suggestions on what type of cut our dog should receive based on his size and hair type. We also asked for "extras" and was told that we didn't need them which was nice to hear that this was not about the money but about giving our dog only what was needed. After the visit was done we received a text that our dog was ready, we met her at her van, and was given advice on how to keep his nails trimmed and the best time to get our dog re-groomed again. All in all it was a pleasant experience and we will definitely book Neli Pet again in the future. read more

Neli took such great care of our little Sphynx cat, Pope! We are so grateful to have found her, and now look forward to seeing her weekly. She cares deeply for animals (and my little boy adores her too!) and we feel at ease knowing our kitty is in great hands with her. Thank you Neli! read more

Neli is the absolute best! I found her on yelp a few years ago and we've established a beautiful business friendship. She is so sweet, and my cat always gets happy to see her. I originally called Neli because Sasha sheds a lot! With Neli's help & the time she takes with brushing Sasha out- we've been able to get a handle on her shedding. Neli noticed a small cyst on Sasha & recommended a great doctor. Luckily it was nothing, but I'm grateful that she goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you Neli! See you soon! read more

Nelipet was great. Neli's communication throughout was spot on, and she has a lot ot of experience with dogs, and will point out any possible issues she sees (I.e. possible ear infections, possible allergies/allergic reactions, matting, etc). Most importantly, Our 2 golden doodles look GREAT and we will not hesitate to use NeliPet again! Thank you again Neli read more

Literally incredible. My senior dog is really sensitive and usually becomes really introverted and skittish after getting groomed, but not after we switched to Neli!! She is a miracle worker. He looks incredibly every time we get him back from her. And she was nice enough to recommend us a brush to use for his specific fur type. Seriously a game changer and great for pups who might not be great with groomers!! read more

We recently relocated to the area and have been searching for a new groomer. We had never used a mobile groomer before, and it's a much better and less stressful experience for the dog. Neli is wonderful. She took her time to let my shy dog get comfortable with her before getting started with him. She did a beautiful job and he was happy and relaxed afterwards. She sent me several sweet photos from her session with my pup and gave me some helpful tips for keeping his nose and tear ducts healthy. I'm so thankful to have found such a great resource. She's amazing! read more

We had a great experience with Neli, she was understanding and helpful. Our dog looks great! We tried a few places around here and we were never happy on the end result, after seeing the pictures here on yelp we decided to spend a little more on mobile grooming and she is worth it, by the end of the appointment our dog was really comfortable with her which means he liked her because she took good care of him. We will be scheduling again for sure. Thank you Neli!! read more

Neli is remarkable and an absolutely astonishing groomer. My 5yo Maine-Coon cat needed grooming ASAP. Of all the places I reached out to- I reached out to Neli last. She replied promptly; 2nd out of all 10. By a stroke of luck or fate or both, Neli was able to come out the next day for my boy! [respectfully- don't EXPECT the same results/luck; just be reassured its happened!!] I met her at her awesome van. We discussed my distress over not knowing how to properly maintain my boy's problematic double-coat. Then we agreed on how to go about it- with a lion cut. She took her time with him, and was not rushed at all. Neither too soon nor too long. And the results were beyond my greatest imagination. Not only was he the softest I had ever felt him before- he was relaxed and at peace! My sassy little lion boii was tranquil!!! And oh my God did he smell amazing for days to come... While she was working on him, I went back inside. We were talking about all the brushes and combs I've bought for him; the sprays, the lotions I've tried and how none of it works. I don't like to be a nuisance as a customer-- but I felt a connection during our discussion. and a passion behind Nelli that hopefully would make what I did next not a nuisance at all: i put all the items that I had bought for my boy in a shopping bag. I brought it with me when I went to pick him up; hoping after working with his fur she could give me some direction. I was immediately greeted by an open van smelling amazing, all tidied-up, with my boy sitting happy in his carrier. I showed her the bag, and she understood my desperation. She went through each brush, and said "yes" or "no" to them, and even told me why. Out of 9 brushes I gratefully ended up with 2. And even better than that- I was given an understanding of what to do and WHY. Neli is an absolute God-send. I am very grateful for every aspect of our first encounter and appreciate you so much! I can't wait for our follow-up appointment. We'll see you January !! read more

NeliPet - AFTER - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

NeliPet is a GOD SEND - I cannot express enough how fantastic she is!! Neli cares deeply about our pets as well as her customers. Her cuts are amazing and her loving care of our dogs goes ABOVE and BEYOND! Our dogs have never looked better and are no longer stressed about their grooming experience since this is a mobile service. Absolutely worth the extra price for a mobile spa. Neli is gentle, professional and very educated about animals. She will let you know if she is concerned about something with your pet and suggest ways to help (i.e. chewing on paws, ear infections, etc.). I will never go anywhere else for my dogs grooming. Neli is fantastic ... I recommend 100%. read more

Just adopted a new baby from the shelter. My Ellie May is VERY SKITTISH. Neli took time to greet Ellie & calm her nerves. I had taken Ellie to another groomers, BUT NEVER LOOKED AS GREAT AS WHEN NELI GROOMED HER. I am very impressed with Neli's professionalism & care for my fur baby. Neli sends us text when Ellie is being shampooed & then finished. Neli sends you before & after pictures. She's fantastic! read more

NeliPet - My Ellie May after - shes gorgeous - Pet Groomers Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Neli responded first when I sent a request out looking for a mobile pet groomer. Scheduling was easy. Pricing is fair. The thing that sets Neli apart from other groomers is her obvious love for what she does. She spent 20 minutes sitting on the curb with my very scared, 4 year old Malinois. Letting her smell and inspect her freely before retreating to the van for her bath. Lili was not as scared with Neli because Neli made sure Lili was comfortable. That was the moment that I knew she would be great. She did not disappoint. I also have a 12 year old GSD with arthritis. Luckily, the van is equipped with a rising platform so my senior, Randi, didn't have to jump or be picked up. The grooming was spectacular and the dogs weren't overly fragrant like other groomers tend to do. I highly recommend Neli! She's everything I've been looking for in a groomer. read more

Update: Owner was nice enough to resolve the issue with me. I appreciate her reaching out to make things right. Paid $125 for my dog to get groomed and she gave him back to me wet and told me that she can't wash him anymore, that this would be the last time. My dog has no hair he doesn't even require a hair cut. I put in his paperwork that he was a 55 pound Dalmatian so I'm confused how they send someone who can't handle the weight or size of that type of dog. But I find it extremely rude to just say you can never wash my dog again and give him back to me wet after 15 min and then charge me full price. Complete rip off. I wont be using them again. read more
