    I cannot recommend Pawssentials enough! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this business takes pride in what they do. The facility was exceptionally clean, organized, and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment for both pets and owners. The groomers were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and caring. They took the time to understand exactly what my wife & I wanted and treated our dogs as if they were their own. You can immediately tell they genuinely love animals and are passionate about providing top-quality care. The grooming results exceeded my expectations. My dogs looked amazing, smelled fantastic, and came home happy and relaxed. The attention to detail, quality of work, and level of customer service were truly outstanding. While quality grooming is an investment, this place is absolutely worth every penny. The professionalism, cleanliness, communication, and exceptional results make it one of the best experiences I've had with any pet service provider. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and caring grooming team, this is the place to go. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning!

    We've been taking our puppy Lychee here for her grooming for the past year. Elena takes good care of Lychee. Friendly professional staff. Lychee comes out looking fabulous every time!

    Michelle looking her best..

    Michelle had another SPA day. Emily is so good with my whiney girl. She looks and feels so clean. I love how they notify you 30 minutes before pick up. Very organized team.

    I want to gate-keep but I can't not leave a raving review. Finding a dog groomer is just like finding any other service provider--once you find a great one, you don't want to lose them. That's exactly the case with Elena. She does an outstanding job with our dog and is truly a master of her craft. After going through at least 10 different groomers in the Bay Area over the past 8 years, I hadn't found anyone who consistently impressed me or delivered reliable cuts for my pup. Not to say there weren't good groomers--but they were good, not great. I'm excited that Elena has opened her own business, and our first visit there was nothing short of a warm and excellent experience. She provided an estimated pickup time, and her estimate was very accurate, which saved me the stress of figuring out when to pick up my dog and planning my day around it. While the grooming area is behind a wall in a separate room, I appreciate that the door was left open so you could see or peek in on what was going on. It also provides a sense comfort to see that your dog isn't just going into a "black box". The service was excellent per usual, and because we're a repeat customer, Elena already knew exactly what kind of cut I wanted and had it noted, making the entire experience seamless. She also sends photos after they cut that are great, and always gives a little flair to finish off the groom. That extra touch means everything. I highly recommend this business!

    This is Finn's second time getting groomed at Pawssentials and Emily groomed Finn today. Finn doesn't love the grooming process and he's a big dog (90lbs) so I prefer to hand him off to the professionals. I gave Emily a head's up that he'll sit down and refuse to move sometimes. She was very sweet and understanding and then took Finn inside. Less than two hours later, Finn was out looking clean and cute with a little bandana! I always appreciate the 30 min heads up text they give so I have enough notice to come pick him up. Setting up a future appointment is super easy with them and I've already rebooked with Emily. Highly recommend Pawssentials if you're looking for a groomer that'll take care of your fur baby!

    I found Pawssentials on Instagram through their soft opening advertisement and first visited them in January. Since then, I've continued bringing my Goldendoodle back because of the excellent service. Emily is patient, professional, and always does a fantastic job with my dog's bath and haircut. One thing I really appreciate is that they send before-and-after photos after each visit, along with a thoughtful follow-up message. It's a small touch that shows how much they care about their customers and pets. The location is also very convenient, and you can either call or book appointments online, which makes scheduling super easy. I highly recommend Pawssentials to anyone looking for a reliable and caring groomer! Service: Groom + Style Extra Floof Crew (41-60 lbs)

    Emily did a fantastic job working with our fur baby. He was nervous going in but he didn't know yet that he was in good hands. After his service he looked like a puppy again. What a nice touch with a little blue bowtie. Koda will definitely be back again! Service: Groom + Style Standard 1 - 20Lb

    my cat moonlight was so clean and the service was great! I enjoyed the free pictures they send after and the people there are super nice!! Will come here again :)

    My dog loves it here! I've searched so long to find a great groomer and I'm so happy I found Elena! She is the best and really cares for my dog

If my dog was aggressive and that's the reason why the groom wasn't complete, WHY ASK HIM TO COME BACK???? WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I PICKED HIM UP YOU SAID HE DID GREAT! This is all cover up to point blame! You also issued me not even HALF of what I paid. I paid $183, you issued me $72 because YOU DONT ISSUE TIPS. How is this okay for you to keep the tip?! Ridiculous. Seriously DONT COME HERE. They are untruthful. They have no idea how to treat clients and they do not know how to communicate! They are not admitting they are at fault saying it's my dogs fault! ------------ My dog was groomed by Fiona. I gave her a heads up that my dog does better away from me, once he is handed over he is fine. My dog has been getting groomed since he was a puppy, this is nothing new to him! Upon arrival, Fiona did not seem welcoming at all. She did immediately approached my dog in a fast motion which if anyone knows dog behaviors this is a big NO NO. She said "let me take him" I handed over the leash and she rushed him to the back. I gave her the benefit of the doubt that this is a new dog and she just needs to see how he does. After a few minutes of him being in the bag, I assume she tested to see how he does being lifted, carried and placed and taken out of the kennel. All makes sense! She comes out and says "okay he did fine!" She points at the price and says $145, however the link she sent me via text and on her website says $135 very inconsistent numbers. She asked how I want the hair cut to be, I said please do not make him bald or shaved down. He can stay short, keep his eyebrows but trim it and trim the length of his ears and his muzzle area. I get a call at 12pm that he's ready. She comes out saying to get my dog from the kennel because he started to grow when being approached in the kennel. I grab him and he is so happy! Wagging his tail! She even showed me where she cut around his face and her hands were very close to his face. He smelt very good and looked good. She told me his ears were very dirty and she cleaned them, cut the nails and did everything and that he was great for the groom. I paid $183 in total for the groom but if I receive exceptional outstanding service I don't blink an eye and am happy to pay. When we got home, I looked him over and he still had Matt's on his ears. The AD said brush out for 15 minutes--clearly my dogs ears were not brushed. I looked in his ears and his ears still had debris in them! I understand not being able to get deep in the ear canal but the easy outer ear area had gunk. The full groom AD stated a sanitary trim but his sanitary area was not trimmed at all! It was the same length from when he came in! I checked his paws and none of his paws were cut or trimmed! Not even the bottom of the paw pads! At this point I am furious because I paid $183. I check his nails and NONE of his nails were cut at all!!! I reach out to Fiona, who groomed my dog and she asked me three times for me to come back for her to get it fixed. She said this was all very surprising to her, I told her I took photos of all the errors. She said she cut my dogs nails but if she cut it too short it'll bleed however they were not cut at all! They are still pointy and long from when he arrived! At this point we are going back and forth and then she throws the "my dog started to try to bite her" card however my dog being aggressive or trying to bite was NOT mentioned AT ALL! Not at pick up, not through our exchange in messages, the only time she decided to say it is when I asked for a refund as I do not want to go back to her grooming facility! I assume she is saying that to make an excuse as to why nothing was done. If this was the case why wasn't it mentioned AT ALL? I am extremely frustrated and I definitely do not recommend this grooming facility. It is half ass work for paying an arm and a leg. I expect exceptional service the first time, not after I complain about the lack of detail of the groom that you then decide to ask me to come back and do it over for me. If my dog was trying to bite, why did she offer to trim my dogs nails if I come back and that she'll fix everything, I truly believe that this was just a cover up, because she started to mention it AFTER I declined her offer for her to fix it! I asked for a full refund but the owner is only offering me half! why does it take someone to complain for people to start doing a good job or to start doing what their job actually entails? Why can't it just be done as expected the very first time!

The problem is this last time he came home acting completely different. He was visibly uncomfortable, like within a few steps he'd throw his bottom down and try to lick, scratch, or scoot. He's normally an active dog who loves to chase balls and will do anything for a treat, and he didn't even want to do either. I looked at his sanitary areas and noticed it was pretty pink and irritated looking. I called Furever Grooming and sent them a photo and they were nice about it, said it looked like a hot spot or skin irritation or that it could be allergies or something that just wasn't visible before the grooming session. I get that from a photo, that's a reasonable guess, but he was not doing any of this before his appointment. Zero scooting, zero licking, nothing. He started right when I picked him up from his grooming session. I'm not trying to say they did something wrong on purpose, but when your dog goes from totally fine to that uncomfortable that fast, right after being groomed, it's hard to not connect the dots. Their aftercare advice was appreciated, but this whole thing has honestly made me nervous to bring him back here, so I think I'm going to look for a different groomer :(

    We've been taking our Yorkie, Atlas, to Doggy Doodle for the last 9 years, and every experience has…read morebeen fantastic. We've been to one other groomer, and while the cut itself wasn't bad, it was way overgrown within two weeks and already needed to be cut again. We wanted a place that could provide a different experience, and finding Doggy Doodle was a blessing. It's been almost a decade, and we've had nothing but positive experiences here. Charlene, the owner, is incredible; very friendly, extremely accommodating and flexible, and so sweet with our old man. She's stayed at the salon late when we could only pick him up after-hours, due to our work schedules. Multiple times she was able to fit us into an already packed day. He's not the easiest to groom since he tends to wiggle around, yet she always does a a great job and never mentions it negatively. When he was a puppy, there were services that she wasn't able to do safely because of how he was acting, and it was always communicated to us effectively and directly. Even though some might find her abrasive, she's just a direct person. But she's always been kind. Atlas is co-parented (lol I know), we separated 4-ish years ago and both moved out of the area. But we still make the -- sometimes hour-long -- drive to bring him here and see Charlene.

The work she did was also decent. A few times my dog would look like a helmet head but it never bothered me. That's why it's 2 stars & not 1. But this last time was the last time I told myself I'd take her here. She had razor cuts under both arms & then got a fungal infection under one of legs. I didn't even notice it until I saw my baby scratching & licking herself so much. After checking her, I saw the scrapes under her arm. I was furious. Then the licking wouldn't stop under her leg. Took her to the vet & they told me it's a fungal skin infection. I asked if it can happen from a groomer & they said yes if the tools aren't cleaned properly. Now before taking her to the groomers she was fine. No skin issues. Then literally a few days after I saw the irritation on her skin. If you do decide to take your fur baby here, just make sure you check them while you're in her salon.
