I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to Sharon for the outstanding care and grooming you provided for little Dottie girl. The attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly shine through in your work. The hand made outfits were so cute for my kids to dress her up in. When we picked her up she smelts amazing. I'm a Dad out numbered 3-1 and was traveling from San Diego back home and needed to break up the trip from my three young kids. On a Sunday, Sharon opened up her doors and adjusted her schedule so that she could see Dottie and that allowed us to go to Knott's Berry Farm for three hours. It was a blessing and we are so grateful. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure Dottie was comfortable and looking great. We'll definitely highly recommend your services to other pet owners! We give it Five Paws of Approval as a family. read more

I've been taking my dog to Paws Above The Rest for almost the last year now. My baby girl is 17 years old, and when she began to show more signs of old age, have less mobility, as I shared in my last review I could not leave her at the previous salons she's been to without feeling anxious. For her breed I know how important it is to keep her tidy for her health. Unfortunately my little coco is getting older and older. Like Sharon told me, she deserves to be clean and maintained despite her age. Sharon takes care of Coco like she is her own. During these delicate years of Coco's life, I cannot be more grateful to be able to take her here and be worry free knowing she's being well taken care of. Thank you so so much !! We are forever thankful. read more

We couldn't have asked for a better first grooming experience for our puppy Sophie! Sharon was amazing from the moment we walked in. You can tell she genuinely loves every pet that comes through her door--she treated Sophie like her own! We really appreciated the quick updates of Sophie after her groom. It put us totally at ease knowing she was in great hands. We're so glad we found Sharon, and we'll definitely be back soon! Highly recommend. read more

We just had our first service with Sharon and we can't wait to go back. We've already booked additional appointments. We reached out to Sharon to try to find a place to clip our pups nails. She was able to accommodate us last minute and was so helpful and kind to our pups. Both of our pups are anxious and need extra patience when being handled. We were able to come in and be with them during the process since it was their first time - and at the end, our puppy who would normally scream and yipe when getting his nails cut was actually starting to relax a tiny bit. Definitely some progress that we hope will get better with time. read more

My first impression about Sharon is that she was nice and helpful when I called in regarding setting up an appointment. Unfortunately my interaction turned negative. My immediate family member had an heart attack and I had texted her that I had to cancel 2 hours before our appointment. She did state that if I needed anything to call or text her. Of course I was focused on my family and not about getting my dogs groomed. Her response was rude and unprofessional. I'm aware of her frustration but as a business and adults they need to realize life happens. See screenshot of her voicemail. Although I cannot speak for her services however because of that voicemail I would not recommend their business because they are not understanding. I would have even paid a fee if ever returned for the innocence but no this is not ok. read more

Sharon is my new go-to dog groomer even though there are groomers closer to me... that's how impressed I am. The shop is clean and welcoming. Very reasonable prices for bath and summer cuts, and if you check in on Yelp she throws extras in! Most of all, she LOVES her clients and dogs love her back. She will give you pointers. I was so impressed that she confirmed my foster's ear infection that I suspected. The shelter did not catch it. read more

Sharon did a great job with my pug mix. She came back happy with trimmed nails and smelling great!

Wow!!! First time going today and my brother and I were in absolute awe over how easy it was for our english bulldog to trust Sharon. She cleared his ears and gave him instant relief and our pup absolutely just sucked up to her after that. Nail clipping that was once hard for us to do was magically absolutely easy for our doggie when the clipper was in Sharon's hands. She worked absolute magic and definitely showed authentic care for him. She also balmed his nose and cleaned his little pockets of skin out of kindness. We will definitely go back soon. She knows what she's doing. Our dog cannot stop smiling from relief. read more

Wow, this place is the place to go for your dog. I cannot recommend it enough! I could tell by her response on her bad review that she really does care about dogs and I just knew that it would be the right place to go. My dog is full of energy and very difficult to work with and she handled him with so much patience and love. I will be coming back here every single time. I'm grateful for dog groomers like this. They really do make sure dogs have the best life. read more

I loved this place! She was so gentle with him since he's more on the shy/aggressive side. He wasn't whining when I came to pick him up because she doesn't cage them! 10/10 service and this will be my new go to spot for Peanut read more

Sharon is THE BEST! I would give her 10 stars if I could. The first time I took my puppy, Luna, to get groomed was at a PetSmart... She was terrified when I dropped her off with an unfriendly crew member, she was crying when I picked her up, and they charged me an extra $10 "handlers fee" which I can only imagine was aggressive. After that experience, I never wanted to take Luna to a groomer again. After bathing Luna at home (which is always a two-person job), my brother recommended I give Sharon a try because his pups love her. I know Luna is a lot to handle (she's a puppy!), but Sharon happily and successfully give her a bath AND a haircut by herself! She went out of her way to ensure Luna felt comfortable and when I picked her up, Luna was SMILING! It felt like such a relief. Even though I live 40 minutes away from Paws Above the Rest, this is the ONLY groomer I will use from now on. Thank you, Sharon! read more

My mom took her rescue dog in to be groomed. We don't know much about her dog and weren't sure if she had been groomed before. Sharon was very helpful and patient with her. She was very happy with the results, and her dog came back smelling so good. She will be bringing her back. read more

So thankful to have found Sharon! She goes above and beyond. It was our first time using her services and we couldn't be happier. She deep cleaned Reina's ears which no groomer has ever done as well as her teeth. My fur baby hates getting her teeth brushed so I'm glad Sharon has some sort of liquid she just applies to the teeth that removes the grime. Reina also had a matted tail that every previous groomer would trim around and leave the knots but Sharon took the time to get those knots out! On top of all that my bf got this adorable happy Father's Day card. read more

Super overdue my bad Sharon! but better late than never. I brought my dog here last minute for a nail trim when no other spots were open. My dog never likes giving his front paws to people but trusted Sharon instantly. Sharon was also just a really genuine person, educating me on whats the best process if I were to cut his nails at home and gave him extra care services just because she genuinely loves dogs! It was nice connecting with you Sharon sorry it took me 2 years to post it but hope you've been well & finally took that vacation you were talking about! read more

So happy I found this place! My mini golden doodle desperately needed a haircut so I searched on Yelp for a groomer in my area. I'm very picky when it comes to my fur baby because I want nothing but the best. Sharon and Liz were so sweet ! You can tell they care about animals & are knowledgeable in all things pet grooming! They even printed a picture of my girl after she was done. I definitely recommend Paws Above the Rest !! read more

I highly recommend this place for any difficult dogs! I have a 6 month golden and she is a rambunctious little one so I have had trouble finding a good groomer that will treat my pup with care. I searched for 2 days on Yelp, and even though these other groomers had 4 - 4.5 star ratings, the comments were a little suspicious. I went to a groomer nearby and my pup came back with a bloody eye, and they had a 4.5 star rating on Yelp. I finally found Sharon, and right off the bat you can see that she is a genuine dog lover. She really caters to your dog's temperament AND the best part is she does only one dog at a time, which means extra care and love for your pup! Definitely making Paws Above the Rest our home groomer. read more

We will absolutely make this our routine. read more

I came here Thursday to take my poodle mix in for a haircut. I explained over the phone to her that he had some mats that needed to come out. When I arrived she said how did you let your dog get like this mats hurt there skin. She then proceeded to say that I need to give him cbd to cut him because he's in pain, all while brushing my dogs hair and he's just sitting there not whining or anything. Yes he does have some mats however I have taken him to many groomers in his 7 years of life and never once have I been treated like a bad dog owner or been uncomfortable leaving my dog with them. She told me she wanted to shave my dogs hair completely off and I didn't agree with that. So we left and i decided to cut his hair myself instead of trying to find another groomer. She charged my card as a NO SHOW when I showed up. I understand a small charge not a 80 dollar charge when you didn't cut my dogs hair. This is the text she sent me and my dogs hair before and after I cut it myself and yes he looks a little ridiculous but better than nothing. Would never recommend anyone to her. read more

My pup and I had the best experience at PAWS ABOVE THE REST! I'm usually really uncomfortable leaving my dog at a groomer but they made my dog and I feel so good!

This was a Godsend! We needed grooming and boarding for my mother's terrier, who is not socialized . My mother is a shut in and Bengie was in poor condition (matted, fleas, and his glands impacted) Not only did they provide incredible care, but compassion, and a rapport with Bengie. The shop is so clean and the owner is compassionate, and knowledgeable. Her prices are so fair and I will be recommending her to everyone!!! Wonderful groomer! read more

Sharon is awesome and the best groomer in OC! I l have a 16 lb male shitzu poodle and have been going to her for almost 3 years now since my pup was only 3lbs. I love how passionate, caring, and knowledgeable she is when it comes all her clients. My dog is a bit feisty and not the easiest to work with but I appreciate her patience and willingness to work with him by suggesting calming treats and CBD oils which was quite effective! She also uses a calming spray during the grooming session which helps too. I also appreciate her genuine advice and for pointing out abnormalities during her services because sometimes we just do not realize the ear infection or the subtle rashes or lumps on our dogs! So I'm just so thankful when she let me know about my pup's ears and I was able to get him treated before the infection got worst. Last but not least, my parents and I just love how handsome he looks and how good he smells when he comes home from the groomers. The wonderful blueberry scent would linger for days and it's awesome! I'm a sucker when it comes to aromatherapy and essential oils and I definitely purchased the blueberry facial foam and spray from the shop! Paws above the rest is like a doggy day spa and I love the vibes and Sharon is just the sweetest! read more

If I could give more stars I would. I'm so grateful I found a place I can trust leaving my fur babies. Not only is the grooming great, the staff is just wonderful. Sharon genuinely loves animals and you can easily sense that when she's with my fur babies. They wag their tail when they see her and leave just as happy. I love that it's appointment only ... it's truly wonderful! Liz groomed my 63 pound Old English Sheepdog for the first time and did a beautiful job! Again, can't be more appreciative of Sharon and Liz for listening to my requests and most importantly loving my babies. Thank you ladies! read more

Sharon is amazing! I went here because I wasn't super happy with my other nail groomers and she was close to home. I couldn't be more pleased with how the whole appointment went. She fit us in within a couple hours of calling and when we got there, she went right to work on my Georgie. She was absolutely wonderful with him...made my little man feel safe and comfortable as she trimmed his nails. (Used aromatherapy oils and everything!) She also noticed that his anal glands were full, so she took care of it right away for us! Now he smells like blueberries and can't stop prancing around with his new nails and clean butt! Will 100% be coming back...you rock Sharon! read more

We LOVE taking our Yorkie to Sharon for all of his grooming needs! She is so sweet and cool, and most importantly she is caring, nice, patient, and thorough with our dog. I would never take my fur baby to anyone I didn't trust or feel comfortable leaving our boy with. She takes her time (which I appreciate) and our dog always looks and smells amazing when I pick him up. She really cares about her clients and their pets. Our dog is always excited to see her and be there! Paws Above the Rest is the best grooming place, check it out! Also, I wanted to mention that the Marty N. customer who only gave Sharon 1 star is not telling the truth. I am the customer who showed up while a young couple were there with their dog. There was no third person with them, so Marty was never there! And Sharon did not overbook my appointment. I got the weeks wrong! So I went back today instead. Sharon is amazing with all dogs regardless of size. Do not pay any attention to that untrue review. read more

Super pleased with the Grooming service provided by Sharon. This was our first time at this salon. She was on time, professional, and did a great grooming on my Lani.

I am a new dog owner and a bit clueless on taking care of my new puppy, OSO. I am learning alot from friends and from Miss Sharon. She gave me so much information on how to care for my new puppy. I really appreciated that. I was referred to Sharon by a good friend. I called her to make an appointment and voiced my concerns. She is closed on Monday and Tuesdays but because of my concerns, she was kind enough to take in Oso last minute on her day off. She truly knows a lot about dogs and she was honest and upfront about what she can do for my puppy's grooming. My puppy has never been to a groomer and she was patient and took her time with Oso. I felt bad because he was a little difficult with her shaving him. Sharon still tried to do her best to groom him. Sharon does care for the well-being of your dog. I will be back to have Sharon groom Oso again. read more

Just went here for the first time since we moved/were looking for a new groomers and Sharon was amazing with our dog. I just know she's a true dog lover and I could tell he loved her.

Sharon is literally the dog whisper! I found this shop right down the street from my house and decided to take a chance since my normal groomer was always booked a month + out and was all the way down at the beach. I will never go back! Best decision I could make! Sharon the owner is so energetic, informative, and most importantly passionate about our fur babies and making sure they have the best possible experience! My fur baby (small Yorkie mix) always comes back looking and smelling AMAZING! Sharon will even throw in extra things we don't even ask for for free from time to time like plaque treatment or extra trimming when we only paid for a bath! I would 1000% recommend Sharon to anyone and everyone if your looking for a small, local, family feel groomer :) read more

We had the best experience at Paws above the rest today! Little background, our last pup had a huge fear of groomers after having a terrible first experience. It was super important to me that we take our new puppy to a safe, comfortable place that she'd be happy to return to. Today our fur baby Penny had her first appointment with Sharon and it was great! Penny didn't seem nervous, and I even got a video of her get blown dry and she wasn't even fazed! Our pup is a German shepherd, husky, retriever mix so she sheds a TON and Sharon did a great job lightening up her coat but still keep her fur long and gorgeous. Plus she smells GREAT! And she gave us a little picture of her first hair cut which was such a sweet rough. Sharon is awesome and we will certainly be back! Probably often since this shedding is no joke! read more
