I have been bringing my dog here for grooming for the past few years and have always had a great experience. My dog isn't scared or anxious after leaving or when I bring him. The groomers always come out to meet me and ask what I'm looking for. I've tried out other places in the area and this is the best place. read more

My puppy stayed for two weeks at Paw Sweet Paw, and I have to say the marketing does a better job than how the business actually operates. Prior to the stay, I was told first-timers get 1 week of free boarding. Knowing that we'd be out of the country for 2 weeks, this was perfect, on top of thinking the workers were nice. I also made sure they would be sending photo updates EVERY DAY via email and that there are cameras in the play area for us to check on him. As the front desk lady could tell, I made sure to make their lives easier, so I printed out 2 A4 sheets of things to know about my pup, being as detailed as possible so they wouldn't be confused about what to do since he's still a puppy. Two weeks later, we had to ask our friend to pick him up because they said no one could help release the pup on Easter Day. When they went to pick him up, both the bowl and the bed were missing, and they couldn't find them on the spot. They had to be delivered the day after, and ONLY because I made that phone call to confirm if they could find my puppy's bowl and his ginormous bed. During those two weeks, we clearly informed them that we would be out of the country and that SMS wouldn't work, yet they didn't remember until I emailed them, twice. Over the 15 days, I could barely see my pup on the camera, and I only received THREE email updates and one 10-second video of my puppy, which didn't even show anything meaningful. It felt like it was recorded just for the sake of sending something. One of the updates was also sent only after I emailed them the second time. Being told we'd be getting one week of free pet boarding for first-timers was WHY we chose to stay here. The staff also told us we could call for a refund if we were mischarged. Two weeks later, when we called, the lady told me they were going through reorganization, so workers were moving around, maybe that's why things were missing, and that the free first week only applied to daycare. I would have to speak to the manager about my concern. The manager obviously had the answer in mind and avoided my phone calls a couple of times, on top of my calls getting hung up more than 2-3 times during transfer. When she finally picked up, without hesitation to my question, she said she couldn't refund me for the first free week, but she could offer me a discount, or a free daycare day or some other discounts. Lol. What's the difference between giving me back a 1-week refund as your team promised versus a discount? Why not solve the problem instead of dancing around it? Why am I getting "punished" when your workers told me the wrong thing? Sure, you might lose a couple hundred bucks, but what's more valuable is that you're losing is a customer who will no longer trust your business, and the word-of-mouth effect that could've helped bring in more customers. As a business owner, you should understand better why pet owners trust you with their dogs and what they expect, especially in Orange County. Unfortunately, our first experience was horrendous and extremely disappointing. The level of disorganization and hassle is beyond disappointing. If you're looking for a pet boarding hotel, I strongly suggest finding somewhere else. Like the lady said, they're going through reorganization, so they might be too busy taking care of customers right now anyway. read more

My dog bodhi loves it here. He has so many friends and he's always tired after a fun day of playing. Staff are very friendly and Bodhi loves everyone there. Bodhi gets the fetch and tug add on sometimes and I love the photos they send of him being his crazy self. read more

I have taken the dog to daycare at least once a week. I just found out that they rotate dogs from daycare to the boarding pen, if they have more than 15 dogs. I pay for dog play and instead the dog is locked in a closet-sized pen for part of the day. For sure they do this at Spectrum and the manager was very circumspect about Irvine. This may also explain why they removed the daycare cameras.. read more

Jon did a great job with my boys hair cut and groom! Everyone there is also so kind and welcoming! My dog loves when he pull up to the orange building read more

​I are happy with the care my dog receives at Paw Sweet Paw. She has been going here for both daycare and boarding for about eight years now, the staff are attentive and friendly, and my dog lights up every time she realizes where we're heading. ​Much of team knows my dog by name, and the consistency in the staff members who have worked there for a long time gives me peace of mind when traveling (thanks in particular to Danny and Josephine). The daily photo updates are a definite highlight during her stays, and the staff are also quick to communicate on the rare occasion they note anything atypical with my dog's behavior when she's there. The business recently reorganized, and the employees now have much more influence over operations; I'm looking forward to this next chapter. read more

My Experience With Grooming Services at Paw Sweet Paw (This review reflects my personal experience under California's Consumer Review Fairness Act.) I'm sharing this because I believe other pet owners in Irvine and Orange County deserve to know what happened during my recent grooming visits at Paw Sweet Paw. My intention is simply to describe my experience as accurately as possible. Recent Visit - November 24, 2025 After picking up my dog, Suki, from grooming, I noticed he was squinting and keeping one eye partially closed, which was unusual for him. Over the next few hours, I observed that the eye became more irritated and developed some discharge. Because his symptoms were increasing, I took him to Pacific Care Pet Emergency in Irvine. The veterinarian examined him, performed a fluorescein stain test, and documented corneal ulcers in both eyes. The full medical report and invoice were provided to me. Suki was prescribed ophthalmic antibiotic ointment and an Elizabethan collar for several days. This was a stressful situation for both of us, especially because he had not shown any eye issues prior to the grooming appointment. I am not making any assumptions about exactly how the irritation occurred -- I am simply stating the sequence of events and the information given to me by the emergency veterinarian. Previous Visits This experience was part of a pattern I personally observed during earlier grooming appointments: * September 2025: After grooming, I noticed redness and irritation on his face and rear area. * March 2025: The haircut provided did not match the instructions and example photo I had discussed, and I did not receive the usual pickup notification. I emailed the business about both situations. I did not receive a response, so I decided to keep a record of these experiences. Why I'm Posting This Review My goal is not to accuse anyone or assign blame. My goal is to: * Share my personal experience as a pet owner * Describe the concerns I observed * Provide information that may help others make informed decisions * Encourage improved communication and follow-up Pets cannot express when something is wrong, so owners rely heavily on businesses to communicate clearly and respond when concerns are raised. I hope the grooming staff and management take this as constructive feedback. Final Thoughts Suki is part of my family, and seeing him uncomfortable and needing emergency care was difficult. I hope that by sharing this experience factually and respectfully, I can help other pet parents feel more informed. read more

I was happy to have found this place but sadly, the quality declined quickly. Even though we were bringing her often, mats had built up because my doodle's baths at this groomer didn't include brushing her out. I took her back in a week later to get groomed again. The groomer said the mats were bad and had spread but he would try to cut off as little as possible. We were shocked to pick her up and find that she was shaved. Also, when we picked her up we were told she was now wet in her kennel and they had to dry her off?? She chewed her feet for two days and limped/lifted up her front left foot. Her ears also had a bad odor for the first time. I called on 5/23 and asked for the manager and/or to speak with the groomer. The supervisor said neither was available, that she would talk to them both and call me the next day. Neither the manager nor the supervisor called me back. read more

I like the convenience of everything in one place. My dog has used boarding and grooming here. No complaints. Reasonably priced. Tip your groomers! They work hard! read more

This place is BAD. They shaved our doggy so close to her eye and it's RED and Bare! They did the same thing to our dog's rear area below her tail. It's very uncomfortable for our dog and it's inflammatory and we have to apply prescribed medication onto our dog. This is so SAD ! Do not bring your dog to the bad groomer ! read more

The only place in Orange County I can take my dog for grooming. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Prompt service with flexible service dates and times. Very clean and cute. read more

My dog just got picked up. Stayed two nights. I picked her up covered in pee on her legs. She smelt so bad and could see how dirty she was( I expected her to be dirty from having fun but covered in pee, that's not what I expect paying $84/night at a pet resort ) She was extremely thirsty, like she was neglected while being there. Absolutely horrible. We have been going here for years and less lately because the last time she was there she came back with scratches and her nose all red like she was locked in her room all day. The quality of care here has clearly went down or the current staff doesn't enjoy what they do. Also upon pick up I witnessed another dog by it self in the training room with multiple puddles of pee. I don't know how long he was in there for but I waited in the front for a while because no one was at the front desk. read more

We have been displaced by the fire and are staying in the OC temporarily. Our dog was need of a bath and Paw Sweet Paw not only did an exquisite job taking care of and cleaning our golden retriever, but also showed exemplary generosity for our situation. I can't recommend Valentine and his team enough for they were able to do for us and our furry baby. Thank you so much read more

I am giving a 5 star review solely based on our last stay . Danny the manager was very nice to listen to my frustrations and concerns for previous visits for Waylon . Danny expressed they are trying to make Paw Sweet Paw the place your pup wants to stay and play & appreciate any feedback . Waylon only stayed overnight 1 night . We picked him up , he was happy , playful , smelled great! Not like dog pee :) Didn't get sick, and ate normally . This was huge ! In the past , he got sick almost every time , didn't eat for days and we would have take him to the vet which is an added expense. I definitely think the water needs changing out more frequently. It's nice to see the staff smiling and like they love being there to work and take care of our Doodle . Here's moving forward, we are looking forward to having Waylon board and play there without any unnecessary issues . At the end of the day, it's like a day care for pets , we realize that . But some things can be managed better . Thank you for addressing our needs and concerns this last visit . We will be back soon ! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. After leaving my pups old groomer after realizing they weren't giving him water while he was there, tied with the fact that my dog seemed to fear for his life every-time we dropped him off, and the horrible attitude of the groomers who worked there- finding a new groomer was long overdue. His vet was also letting me down and I didn't feel like they were caring or attentive to my pups or my needs. I had driven by the spectrum location multiple times and saw the great reviews, but was hesitant after another 5 star reviewed place has let me down. Long story short, my pup needed a place to stay last minute and we decided to give it a shot. I was a bit nervous but they immediately soothed any worries. My pup needed his canine influenza shots to board them and they were extremely accommodating! They were able to get him in for his first shot on the SAME following day so he could stay for 5 nights in boarding. Customer service was fantastic, the facility is huge and everyone working there from the vet techs to the front desk and people watching to pups was beyond sweet and helpful. Also, the facility is HUGE. The boarding area can be seen from the second level if you want to take a look, they will let you so you feel extra confident leaving your pup there. The best part of the entire experience? My dog is actually HAPPY and EXCITED to come here! (This is coming from a dog who has major anxiety and is very nervous around people)... We also had him fully groomed during his stay and they did a fantastic job. We've now found our one-stop shop for everything: Boarding, Vet, Grooming's & Daycare. I am honestly so thankful I found these guys because it was a headache taking him to multiple places. The owner of this place clearly knows what he/she is doing. The only thing that would make it THAT much better would be if they added non-anesthetic dental cleanings :) When my furchild is happy, I'm happy. Thanks so much Paw Sweet Paw! :) Bumper thanks you too (: read more

*WARNING - AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE...LITERALLY* We have been bringing our Goldendoodle for bath and groom for over 3 years, and have experienced extreme deterioration in the quality of their services. We have tried several groomers here and every time we find someone we like, they would leave. However, the main reason for the *WARNING* is that we finally found the reason for her stomach issues. Almost every other time we bring our dog in for a service, she comes home with episodes of diarrhea and vomit. We had repeatedly politely requested their staff not to feed our dog water (fear of contamination) and treats (allergy to chicken). However, our dog still comes home with stomach issues to the point we had to spend more money at the vet. Some episodes were so bad we had to rip out our carpet. By our calculation, we have spent over $5,000 in services at PSP and about $3,000 in vet bills due to her stomach issues. We are not the type of people to complaint unless things got extremely severe. Well, we're at that point. We have thought about filing a formal complaint, but it's just not worth our time. This place is no longer worth our time and money. Thank you Paw Sweet Paw for the wonderful diarrhea and vomit memories. read more

I really used to like coming here for cost effective baths for my golden. It seems like recently after they've been offering more services and have gotten busier the quality has gone down a lot. Previously it would take me about 2-3 hours to get my golden back from a bath and the last time it took me 5-6 hours. This last time he was even hesitant to go in when he usually has no problem. The last 3 times I got him back as well I've noticed knots on him. I brush him between baths and don't know why after he comes back he has these mats showing. After the first time I called to ask them to pay more attention around his ears/armpits to get rid of knots but it seemed like it went unnoticed. They also usually leave me on hold for 15 mins or more at a time when calling to make appointments. Sadly won't be returning. read more

They're so caring and kind! Love taking my babies Sofi and Simba over for daycare and pamper them.

This is in the same location as Dr Boyd's that closed and I'm thrilled Paw Sweet Paw opened up. They refurbished the place with new toys and they have a nice online reservation system. My dog was very happy and appeared well cared for when I picked him up from daycare. They send you a link with pictures during the day which is awesome! A couple of things that could be improved and are understandable as they are gearing up for more dogs. It's not easy to get someone on the phone and I've been put on hold and forgotten about a couple of times. There's no need to call as long as the online system works but I was trying to make an advance boarding reservation and the system won't allow it since he will have an immunization due before then. I take him to another daycare when I work (Doggie Daycare and More) in Newport and that isn't an issue there. Also you have to make a reservation for daycare which I don't have to do in Newport since it's drop off when I need them. But Paw Sweet Paw is clean and close to home and my Bo is happy and tired today! read more

It was my first experience at Paw Sweet Paw. It took about 5-10 minutes to make an account and then they were able to bring my dog in to the groomer for a nail trim only. It took about 5 minutes for them to be finished. Unfortunately I didn't get to see how my dog did. The groomer referred my dog as a "she" when he is a male dog. I noticed that my dog's nails were very sharp so it didn't look like the groomer filed them to make them smooth. And then the groomer also forgot to bring back my dog's leash so I had to request for it back. Unfortunately it felt like a very quick "in and then out" experience and not personal at all, especially when the groomer came back with my dog. Even though it was close by to where I live, I do not think I would like to bring my dog back as it did not feel like I got a great experience. read more

I wish i could give them a minus rating for their terrible treatment of my dog! They are not good in giving the care to your pets nor they care about anything other than $$$. this facility should shut down. read more
