My yorkie went from a complicated adult rescue with a lot of health problems to SUPER OLD on the verge of death scary decrepit in the last year. Dude almost died when we had to remove all his teeth. When we adopted him and his partner, they were super neglected advance case rescues--and this little guy has bad lungs, liver, pancreas, and personality (IYKYK these little jerks). In 2025, after we took out the poor guy's remaining teeth, his pancreas started failing post-op. It took us about 6 months to get him back to health. In that time, he lost a ton of weight and most of his hair. His butt was actually bald! Then, miraculously, or through pure yorkie dark side terrier magic, he actually got MORE healthy with MORE hair...but different hair, and different texture, and even different colors! It is wild. Today, we took him in for his first groom since being on the verge of death, and the little guy looks like a puppy again. He clearly feels great with the last few months of bulk coming off. In any case, this is THE best spot for getting your dog groomed if you need to know that they will be treated right. I am so worried 24/7 about this little fragile dude, and Roch and Gertrude is the only place I leave him besides the vet where I cannot keep eyes on him. read more

This is an overdue review but I felt like I had to share how great R&G is. Ever since we adopted our little love Max in 2019, we wanted the best for him and that includes finding the best groomers who he would be comfortable with and treat him nice. My wife came across R&G when looking for dog groomers and we've been coming back to R&G regularly since 2019. Later, in 2021 we rescued another little senior dog named Mimi. She had a bit more sass than Max and unfortunately her last owners hadn't done the best job caring for her coat. R&G treated her with so much love and respect that they were able to give her a bath and give her a great looking trim that we almost didn't recognize her. She looked like a refreshed dog. Unfortunately, Mimi passed in 2023 but R&G was also caring enough to be there for us as we navigated that loss. To this day we continue to recommend R&G to anyone looking for a dog groomer because they will treat their pets like the family they are. Even though we moved 40+ minutes away from Pasadena, we still make the drive to come here because they are worth it. Leanne, Elizabeth, Jasmine, and the team are caring to both our dogs and to us and we will continue to come to R&G for our dog grooming needs. read more

Went in as a walk in with no appointment and was helped out by a really nice staff member. They were able to squeeze in my golden retriever Sunny and they did a great job! I took my dog to another groomer when he was a couple of months old and they didn't do a great job so I was a little hesitant but R&G had great reviews and I definitely see why. Sunny's coat is so shiny and soft The staff was really sweet & their work is amazing Sunny will definitely be coming back. read more

This place was a 10/10 the whole experience was amazing I love how knowledgeable the lady was she definitely gave me her honest opinion about how to trim my apple head Chihuahua. I love how they also ask me if he's allergic to anything or if he's sensitive to any scents. You can tell that this place not only cuts dogs hair but also cares about your pet. They also have a menu where you can pay extra for a facial for your pup or a massage and of course I decided to have my dog get a little s-paw day with them 10/10 will be coming here. read more

So happy to find this pet spa yesterday, close to our new home rental. I spoke to Liz in charge and she was able to squeeze our small dog, a Toxirn, Cairn and Chihuahua mix, in that day. Wonderful news because Dottie hasn't been groomed for nearly 2 months. We lost our house, groomer and all important paperwork in the Eaton fire and everything has been topsy turvy since. Plus we are away for some weeks in 5 days' . I really needed help in a hurry and there it was! A friendly environment. We were able to provide the necessary paperwork for the big D (actually, she's pretty small and delicate). They are very particular about current Rabies injections: quite right too. Un-scented shampoo available. We talked through requirements. None of us wanted to do anything overly radical flor our 2 month old rescue. We handed her over. A couple of hours later our bundle of fun was returned. If she could smile, well, she would have. Looking similar but smarter. No shivering or shaking. A happy camper, like myself. Thank you so much all involved. It's a fine pet spa. We will happily use it for as long as we find ourselves Pasadena-based. 100% recommended. And VERY reasonably priced, we thought. read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Hands down the best grooming experience we have ever had. The store was cute, the people were so sweet. And chloe and Liz did exactly what I asked for and more, Lola looks beautiful. I attached before and after as, the way they did her tail is so cute. The only downside is they are busy so it was a little tough to get in but that's usually a good thing because it means they are an awesome business. We will be going no where else to get groomed from now on. read more

This boutique pet spa is a special little gem in Pasadena. Leanne (owner) is the sweetest, and does the BEST grooming ever. I love her attention to detail; my little Boo always comes out looking like a movie star. She's a dog mom herself, truly cares about pups, and is the only person I've been comfortable leaving mine with, other than my family. I highly recommend this business. read more

Absolutely love R&G! Barry has been coming here for years for his grooming and Leanne and her team are truly like his family. They treat him and all of the pets they groom so sweet and gentle. I 100% recommend their services. read more

What a gem! I took my pup here from a recommendation from our neighbor and I will never go else where. They do a wonderful job making my dog smell and look like the furry lil angel he is. He gets excited to come here and seems to really like the staff so I know they treat him with kindness even when I'm not around because if there was any reserve this dog would make it known that he doesn't want to be there. Also they are totally covid safe which is fantastic.. You check in from outside, they come to your car to grab your pup. And they are very timely. They do a great job grooming but the best part about this place for me is the non anesthesia dental cleaning. I started taking my dog for these at my old vets but since we moved I couldn't find a place close by until going to book another groom and seeing they do them here! Previously, at my old vets it was an all day ordeal for a dental cleaning without anesthesia, but here it was literally 30mins and they did a fantastic job. My dog is small and likes baths/haircuts so I like doing those myself but any time I feel like spoiling him or he needs a dental cleaning we will be coming here. I would confidently recommend this spot to even the most particular pet owners. *Also they ask if there are any areas to watch out for on your pet before taken them in which I really do appreciate this cuz my lil guy has a wonky knee and it's never been aggravated by coming here so again, I know they're treating him with kindness and true care. read more

I am first super grateful to find someone to groom a cat. I have a super fluffy cat named Fish and her fur is soooo long. The groomers have helped her keep her dignity and do a really nice job keeping her booty and belly fur under control. Nothing worse than cleaning poo out of fluffy butt fur. She comes back to me equally as proturbed as when she went in. Let's face it... this cat hates grooming but they do such a great job. I adopted a hot mess of a dog in November... See pics... My hot mess of a dog came back to me happy and sassy and she is zooming around the house feelin fresh. Highly recommend Roch and Gertrude. It's worth the wait for an appt. read more

All I can say is R&G is the best. I took my cocker to them his entire life, and they were wonderful to work with. Mikey Sr. actually got excited when I would say "Doggie Groomer." I lost Mikey Sr. in August, but I have adopted another cocker, Mikey Jr. He is now 16 weeks old and getting close to starting his monthly visits. I also have several friends who use R&G and they feel the same way I do. The staff are wonderful, caring, and always have time to discuss your pet's health. They are wonderful. I am so happy I found them! read more

When we adopted our new, sweet bb a couple months ago, one of the things we most looked forward to was taking him for his first spa day at R&G, and that finally came to fruition this past weekend. Top-notch holistic pet care (scrubs, facials, aromatherapy massages, and standard grooming). We can't wait to take him back again and again. Everything in my review of 3 years ago remains true. Leanne and her team are doing god's work pampering pets like the kings and queens we know they are! read more

If you need a groomer, look no further. R&G pet spa exceeded our expectations. Due to Covid, they put procedures in place to keep everyone safe. We met with one of their employees outside their location to discuss our dog and the type of cut we wanted. If you have a bichon, you know that finding a good groomer can be tough. They were super knowledgeable in the bichon look and spent roughly 10-15 min with us going through the details. Besides the grooming, they did everything right. They contacted us a little bit before the grooming was done to let us know our dog was almost ready and our dog walked away happy...which never happened at our old groomer. I would rate them 10 stars if I could. read more

We love everything about these guys. First, and foremost, they are the best groomers we have ever used. We have a 1.5 year old bernedoodle, and he always looks fantastic when he leaves. They listen to exactly what we are looking for, and ensure that they adhere to our desires. Our dog literally looks like he's ready for a dog show when he leaves, and the grooming lasts!! But it doesn't stop there - not only are they the best groomers around, but working with them is fantastic. It is apparent that they actually care about what they are doing, and value us as customers, and most of all - they love our pup, Henry. This is apparent in every touch point we have with them - be it over the phone, over text (yes, they text!), or every time we pick him up and drop him off. The only thing I wish is that it was easier to get an appointment with them, but I guess that speaks for itself!! read more

Freaking AHHHMAZING! My fur babies came back super cute, and my 8 yr old maltese, Yogi, gets an ear infection 90% of the time after being groomed.

I will definitely be coming back, and recommending to all my friends and family with pets. read more

I am writing this review after just under three years of loyal patronage to this business. I have a Miniature Schnauzer and since the earliest visit had pre-determined regular appointment every 6 weeks. After our last visit I was shocked and surprised at the level of service my Schnauzer received (pictures attached) and returned to discuss this with the front end attendant on duty. To my dismay she immediately began making excuses claiming she witnessed the finished product and everything was fine. That maybe my Schnauzer had cow licks, she began to blame my dog, saying that he's difficult and hard to handle. Admittedly, I became offended and asked why after all this time if he (my dog) was so difficult wouldn't you communicate with me and inform me that you couldn't manage his grooming needs rather than provide sub level service and continue to charge top dollar fees without explanation? This past week I was contacted as usual regarding his next scheduled appointment and I confirmed. After leaving work early to make this appointment and arriving at the "salon" I was once again approached by this same individual " Leann wouldn't even come to the front and join in this conversation" only to be informed me that they thought best if I took my dog elsewhere. Why send messages to c o inform appointment only to to me away? That could have been handled much differently. What happened to servicing loyal customers with courteous communication and a simple..."we'll make it right" attitude? That was definitely NOT my experience with this "salon" today! read more

Roch & Gertrude Pet Spa - 75.00 eyebrows! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I recently adopted the goodest girl (a Dachshund mix) from the Pasadena Humane Society. Because she's highly anxious and nervous, I thought it best to leave the nail trimming to the pros (dark nails, can't see the quick = potential recipe for disaster). It was Roch & Gertrude's sterling reviews, detailed service descriptions on their website, and location (with ample street parking, though a lot is available as well) led me to choose them to trim my pup's nails. Said pup was terrified upon entering the facilities, peeing and pooping a nugget shortly thereafter. I was mortified but Leanne and her assistant didn't bat an eyelash, were so kind and patient. As a first time dog owner, I was so appreciative of their approach. I was also able to see my pup and pet her during short breaks. The process took no more than 15 minutes. Incredibly reasonable pricing, the friendliest services, and impeccable work. Leanne was more than happy to answer any questions I had about all things dog. This is absolutely the grooming go-to in the SGV! read more

This pet spa is truly amazing. I called to get my dog an appointment to have nail grinding and they got scheduled her within a few hours. I took her in and they took her back right away. It took 3 people to do her nails but thats typical, I have a pug and they are stubborn and don't do so well with this. The techs were amazing and had a special technique for pugs. They were fast and were able to do a great job on her long nails. The place it self is cute and comfy. They have water for you while you wait. Parking is easy. There is plenty of street parking and also have a parking directly above them. The staff here is very sweet. They offer many holistic services which I will be bringing my dog back for. read more

I tried this place out for nail cutting when I wasn't happy with the job my vet tech did. They are awesome here! She came out and introduced herself gently to my very nervous pup, offered her a treat, and even had her yorkie try to be-friend my scared girl. They carried her to the back where I could see everything going on and they oh so gently cut my pup's nail to perfection! When they couldn't get the last leg, one of the girls held my dog while the other cut the nails. They didn't put her on her side and hold her down like at the vet. This was such a nicer experience. My dog doesn't have easy nails to cut - they're small and black and yet they did an amazing job. They are short but they didn't cut the quick and they're not sharp. The price was also very reasonable. The spa is cute, clean, and the girls are SO friendly. I'll definitely be coming back and I hope everyone else checks it out too so this place can stay in business for a long while. Yay for finding great doggie services! read more

This place is amazing! My elderly chihuahua is very traumatized by a past pet spa that ripped out her claw. She absolutely freaks out when anyone gets near her paws.

I highly recommend them for any service your pet needs. read more

This is the only place I will ever take my royal pair from now on. It's amazing in every way and big box groomers can't even come close to Roch and Gertrude Pet Salon. I love that it's cage free and my two dogs get to act like they are shop keepers for the day. They are welcomed each time with open arms by the amazing Leanne and Hailey. I am always greeted so warmly that I enjoy coming in as well. Plus you get to see Leanne's dog Pierre so it's always fun to go inside. My dogs look amazing because of the expertise of Leanne and Hailey. Leanne is so so attentive and checks in to make sure my pair come out looking red carpet ready. My dogs go in scruffy and scraggly ala Nick Nolte's mug shot and come out gorgeous and handsome besides smelling AMAZING !! I am so glad I found out about Roch and Gertrude pet salon !! We love it ! read more

I'm a first time visitor today. I've been very nervous and anxious about my rabbit's nails for awhile. I do trim them when I can at home, but it's been difficult from a carpeted floor. Her thrashing around and thumping her foot at me makes me even more nervous. I would just be able to trim off whatever I can. After my recent several failed attempts at trying to trim her nails, I've finally decided to let a professional handle it. I was still scared and nervous because I've never had anyone else handle her before. My Charlie bunnie was in and out really fast! it's truly the best experience I've ever had with this whole pet grooming thing. Thank you so much for a wonderful and stress free experience! Thank you for also putting me at ease. read more

It's been so challenging to find a new groomer we trust for my dog (Charlie) since we moved back to CA from Seattle. After doing alot of research and reading alot of yelp reviews, I finally decided to make an appt for a bath at R+G. Charlie was in need of an overdue nail trim and gland expression but our Feb and March weekends are just crazy booked and the only time we had was this Saturday. I made an appt request on Yelp Thursday night for that Saturday thinking we'd probably have to find a back-up groomer since it's so short-noticed and likely they don't have an open slot. But to my (pleasant) surprise, Leanne emailed me the next day to offer an early Sat afternoon slot! The booking process was easy and Leanne was extremely friendly to coordinate with (i.e. providing vaccination record). My dog is always scared to go to the groomers, and this time it was no exception. He was crying as soon as we got to R+G, but the staff was so friendly the whole time which made us feel better about leaving Charlie there. He was ready for pick-up in ~1.5hour. When we came back to pick up Charlie we asked how he did, and one of the staff told us Charlie didn't seem to enjoy most of the service. I really appreciate their transparency and honesty, instead of telling me Charlie loved the experience which is what most owners would want to hear probably. Because I know Charlie gets nervous and anxious with strangers (esp when we're not in sight), and doesn't like baths/blow dryer/nail trimming, I was not at all surprised to hear that he did not seem to enjoy it; now I know that I can trust them to tell the truth =) . Charlie seemed very happy when we picked him up (tail up!), smelled fantastic, and his fur was silky smooth! We may have found the grooming salon we've been searching for! Will definitely come back for Charlie's haircut next! read more

Chloe looks great and was told she did really well. Will definitely continue to bring Chloe here for future grooming. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Every 5 star review you read is true!!! I have had a few bad experiences with groomers since moving to Los Angeles and was scared to take my dog to another one. However, after doing some serious research on pet salons in the area I stubbled on R&G Pet Spa's yelp reviews and decided to give them a shot. I am so glad I did! I explained to R&G that my poor pup had been cut pretty badly by her last groomer and that she is now very anxious being groomed. R&G took the time to listen to all my concerns and were very gentle with my dog. They took extra time and care while grooming my pup, even giving her breaks when she seemed to get nervous. After grooming they wrote me a detailed email going over how my dog did. I felt like my pup was very well taken care of and in good hands. I feel so blessed to have found R&G Pet Salon and will be back again:) read more
