    I can't recommend Elena and Pawssentials enough! She does such an amazing job with my dog and she always comes out looking SO cute and well cared for. You can really tell Elena puts a lot of attention and love into what she does. Nahla gets so excited every time we go which is always a good sign! I also love the little report cards with photos at the end of the service; it's such a thoughtful touch.

    Fresh cut!

    Pawessentials is my go-to for Tobi boy's grooming needs. Tobi is part Lhasa Apso, so he can get super furry. Elena has been my go-to groomer for Tobi boy for about two years now. I trust her and Pawessentials 100% to keep Tobi boy looking handsome! Tobi always comes home a happy boy and he loves Elena!!! Highly recommend Pawessentials for your furry ones grooming!

    We love Elena! She has been grooming our Teddy since he was a puppy, he's now 4. She always does an amazing job on him. She is very detailed and truly a perfectionist when it comes to her work. Teddy always comes back looking adorable, clean, and perfectly groomed every single time. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and takes pride in what she does. Her salon is also the cutest and always incredibly clean, which makes us feel so comfortable leaving Teddy with her. We completely trust her and wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a groomer who is talented, patient, and caring!

    Sharky was so happy after his grooming. Staff was very friendly and great service! Definitely recommend this place for local area

    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!

    My Goldendoodle has been going to Elena for almost two years (we follow her wherever she goes) and I truly would not trust my dog with anyone else! Elena, the owner of Pawessentials, is absolutely amazing. She is so kind, patient, and gentle with my dog, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Elena is also an expert with Goldendoodles, which makes such a difference. She really understands their coats and always does an incredible job. My dog absolutely adores her and is always excited to see her, which says so much. The new grooming location is wonderful too--super clean, welcoming, and clearly a place where pets are cared for with love. We always leave happy, and my dog looks and smells amazing every time! I highly recommend Elena and Pawessentials to anyone looking for a caring, talented groomer.

    We've been following Elena for about 3 years now across three different locations, and we're so excited that she finally has her own shop! The lobby is always clean, fresh, and welcoming, which already sets a great tone when you walk in. Our dog Bear always comes home happy and looking adorable with a cute accessory. But what really makes Elena special is the way she works with dogs. Bear is very timid and anxious and does not like strangers. In the past, we could immediately tell when he didn't like a groomer because he would refuse to go to them, which makes it incredibly hard to trust someone enough to leave your dog with them. Elena is the first and only groomer that Bear is actually willing to go to, and his anxiety shaking has decreased dramatically--especially since she opened her new shop. That alone says so much about the care, patience, and love she puts into her work. She clearly builds real trust and bonds with the dogs she grooms. Bear's haircuts are always consistent, his tail is perfectly fluffed, and his nails are nicely filed. Elena communicates clearly throughout the appointment and lets you know exactly when to come back and pick up your pup. She's responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. Finding someone you trust with your dog is everything, and Elena has absolutely earned that trust with us. Any dog that gets groomed by her is incredibly lucky.

    Lucky absolutely loves his spa days at Pawssentials! He always comes out looking so fresh and handsome -- his haircuts are consistently on point every single time. They really pay attention to detail and make sure he looks perfect before he leaves he comes home with a cute scarf :) Elena is so patient and understanding with what Lucky needs. Lucky is not fond of anyone touching his paws, but the she totally gets it and somehow manages to get it right every time. I highly recommend coming here. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

    Mr. Juno- looking like a gentleman!
    Mared H.

    Mr. Juno went for his first groom at Pawssentials today (so overdue!) and he came back looking great. He looks shiny, lighter, and SO MUCH hair is gone. We used to go to Rachel's and loved going there, but eventually was told Juno was too big and were left looking for a new place to take him every few months to supplement at home baths and brushing. I am so happy to find a new place that has good prices, does good work, and has friendly staff. Bonus points for the booking system being online and easy to use! Check them out.

    100/10 Elena has been grooming my doodle for 3+ years and we love her! She is truly the best and makes my doodle look like the perfect little teddy bear every time!

    We brought our two dogs, Toffee and Coca, to Pawssentials for a bath and nail trim and were very happy with the experience. The staff was patient, gentle, and professional, and it was clear the dogs were treated with genuine care. Coca is usually very fearful in new environments, so I was a bit nervous beforehand. She did really well there, which truly says a lot about how calm and reassuring the team is. Both dogs came back clean, soft, and smelling great, their nails nicely trimmed, and most importantly relaxed and happy. We really appreciated the personal attention and the positive atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Pawssentials to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring grooming place.

    I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great groomer. Everyone was very nice, and the lady who assisted us was especially kind and helpful. The energy there was very positive, and they clearly know what they're doing. They really listen and understand what you want for your pet. All I can say is thank you, and we will definitely be back!

    Thou protest too much!

    New customer here! I took my 9-year-old mini Australian Shepherd to Elena for a bath and grooming, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I was a little nervous at first because he tore his cruciate ligament two years ago and hasn't been to a dog groomer since then. Even though he's recovered, I'm always extra careful about where I take him and how he's handled. Elena immediately put me at ease. She was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra care. Chase went in his usual hyper, happy self--and he came out exactly the same way: energetic, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with the whole experience. Though I was told he protested with songs in the bath :) And the groom itself was fantastic. His coat looked clean, soft, and beautifully done. He smelled great and looked like a brand-new dog. She clearly took her time which I appreciate. The price is reasonable and I plan to come back. It's such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pet, especially when they have a history of injury. I forgot the name of the other lady that we met at check out, but she was friendly and hooked us up with a new customer goodie bag. I also want to note that I appreciate during hand off and pick up that there wasn't a waiting room with a bunch of dogs in the lobby--it felt like a personal experience and saved me the anxiety of my dog engaging in a bark off with other dogs! Highly recommend! Thanks for taking the time!

But after this mess I would rather drive further for his well being. I would not recommend this place to anybody unless you hate your dog. I picked him up from grooming when we got in the car he was shaking so I thought ok maybe it was a new groomer. When I got home I saw that his eyes were red. But I thought nothing of it maybe it's just allergies. Shortly after a few days there were discharge coming out of his eyes so i booked an appointment to see the vet. They did a scan and one of the eye were infected and also had a cut in it. I explained to the doctor that this happened after grooming. The doctor told me most likely is the tools that wasn't properly sanitized and it cut him which cause ulsar in one of his eyes and the shampoo they were using most likely caused the irritation and got infected. I brought it to the groomers attention, there are two owners in this place. The First Lady named Fiona didn't want to deal with it so she told me to contact the other owner Ming. So I reached out to him, he just said sorry and it's most likely that he's allergic to something at home. I told him it all happened right after I took my dog there. He didn't want to deal with it and tried to offer my 20% discount on the next visit. The nerves he has, I mean anybody at their right mind wouldn't bring their dog back to this place after what happened. My vet bill was over $800 total and I still have to take him back soon. I'm not expecting him to give me my money back but at least acknowledge what is going on and have some accountability. I've been messaging him back letting him know what was going on but he hasn't responded at all. He would probably only message people back on here with excuses since it will hurt his business with bad reviews.

    Was looking for a new place to groom our two longer haired husky-mixes and came across Furever…read moregrooming on Yelp. Called to book an appointment & was able to get scheduled for both pups the same week. They ask for updated vaccine records (rabies) which I was able to easily text. We went for a wash, brush, and trim. We asked them to focus on the tail & butt floof area because it always gets tangled and rough. Additionally, one of our pups has always been anxious with groomers/baths in general so trying a new place always makes me a little nervous as well. After 3 hr 15min we picked them up and WOW! We could visibly see a difference in the way their hair looked. Not only that, but their staff had taken their time to really brush out their tails & buttfloof to the point we could just run our fingers through their fur - from their skin straight to the end of the hair easily. I deeply appreciated this & it goes to show the level of care and attention to detail their staff put in. Our more anxious pup always tries to run out from the groomers and leave the building/space (we've had 3 different ones in the past) & I noticed that this time around, she was still interacting with their staff and not pawing at the door to leave or screaming at us to take her out. She was actually calmer than usual which put us at ease!!!! What a wonderful first experience & they have fantastic pricing. We'll definitely come back & would recommend Furever Grooming for any pet parent.

    Been here a few times now and wanted to leave another review since they've been consistently great!…read moreMy dog used to shake and be nervous all the time going into the groomers, but after we started taking him here, he does shake less! This most recent time we saw Rachael, and Rachael was great! Super kind and my dog looked so good. Also loved that she was able to tell us how my dog did. Really the only bad thing I did experience which I feel I have to disclaim, is that there was only one time we didn't receive the text notification to go pick up our dog and I just went in before closing time. Just wish they called when he was finished too instead of just giving us the 30 mins heads up text so my dog and the staff wasn't just waiting. Other than that though, still highly recommend! Thank you Le Pawsh!

    FIVE STARS!!! Le…read morePawsh is hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made for my dogs. The moment you walk in, the space feels calm and intentional. It is clear that the team prioritizes the dogs' comfort and well being, not just the final look. Shelby the owner was the original creator of Barbie's tiger look, and Rachel did an amazing job curating her birthday makeover. It was thoughtful, tasteful, and done with so much care. Barbie left happy, confident, and looking incredible. Sam did a wonderful job with my 14 year old pup, Simba. Watching an older dog be handled with that level of patience, gentleness, and professionalism meant everything to me. Simba looked great and was clearly comfortable the entire time. I not only trust the owners of Le Pawsh, I trust the women on their team as well. They have built a place where care for dogs is consistent, thoughtful, and real. The women here are skilled, kind, and pay attention to how each dog is actually feeling, not just how they look. They listen, they remember details, and they handle dogs with patience and confidence. Brandon, one of the owners, also runs DYAD Dog Training and is currently training Barbie. The progress has been noticeable and meaningful, and his approach reflects the same level of care and intention. If you are looking for a place you can truly trust with your dogs, Le Pawsh is it. Hands down. Thank you Le Pawsh for treating my dogs like family.
