    My little guy was in desperate need of a haircut and lucky for us, Jennette had a cancellation today. His fur wasn't quite fluffy enough for a bichon cut but it looks pretty darn close! He's a rescue and has a little separation anxiety but I realized today I probably have more separation anxiety than he does cause Jennette was great with him and I picked up a very happy dog!

    My dog is a very nervous fellow. He had an awful incident with another dog and became quite reactive so I typically take him grooming at smaller shops that groom dogs one at a time. I heard of Jennette on a local facebook group and her work looked incredible. Luckily, I was able to book a slot within a week of reaching out to her. I told my partner jokingly that she must be a dog whisperer because I have never seen my dog as calm as he was when I dropped him off to his appointment with Jennette. He received the full spa service complete with bath, cut, styling, and nails. He was rather scruffy and he had a few tighter matts on his legs so it took about 3 hours for his groom to be completed. I shared photos of the style I was hoping for (very rounded and Japanese fusion teddy bear style) and I was taken aback when I picked my dog up. He looked gorgeous. His coat was so soft and he was so calm - I was afraid he would be too nervous to work with, but Jennette must have really zenned him out with her amazing spa work. I have not been able to stop recommending Jennette to everyone I know. She is truly an artist! Please don't hesitate reaching out to book a spa session for your pet - they will adore her and she will make them extra adorable!

    Jennette was recommended by one of my friends and I recently got a Bichon Frise puppy that needed his first grooming session. She was great and did an excellent job doing a full grooming session on him. I was initially afraid of having him go to a groomer as a puppy and worried he would dislike it but I was told he was super well-behaved! She took the extra time to get him acclimated to the grooming process and I cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend Jennette's services as she has the vast experience and patience of a skilled groomer.

    I'm so glad that I have found Jennette to groom our little boy. She is amazing groomer. She did the best job since we had him. We will definitely come back.

    Jennette did an epic job grooming my puppy I have a little shihtzu pup that needed a last minute groom, Jennette greatly accommodated us and did great! Coco came home looking like a show dog and she smelled so great! Thankyou again Jennette! Coco can't wait to see you again!

    Jennette's service was 10/10. I was recommended by my friend Abby and she did not disappoint. Since there was a dog virus going around, we did not want to take him to the regular dog groomers which hold a lot of dogs at once in a cage. I had cut my dogs hair at home however it doesn't do him justice lol. The process was smooth. I first texted Jennette to ask when she was available and she then asked for pictures of my dog as well as what breed. She then gave me an estimate price as well as what day he could come in. Thankfully , it was a swift process and to know my dog was comfortable with her was amazing. She had told us our dog did very good during grooming services. If you want to know your dog is highly taken care of, and the cut looks nice and what you asked for, please go to her ! She was honest and worked well with my boyfriend who dropped off our dog to explain which cut would compliment our dogs shape. These pics weren't taken the day of but a couple days after and he still looks cute!!! Along with our short haired dog in the back haha

I'll be cross posting this review on their Castro valley location too. our beagle used to get so nervous going to the groomers but he's had no issues with having his grooming appointments with Claudia. We usually call ahead of time to see if drop off is okay, usually it is fine and they can take him right away. We usually take him for a routine grooming session and also when he gets into some naughty business and wants to rub himself in the grass in who knows what but it leaves him smelling very stinky!! No worries tho cuz Claudia gets him smelling so clean and brand new. We usually book a bath, ears, teeth cleaning, nails, trim excessive paw hair. Beagles are prone to ear issues so we always include the ears!! cost is affordable but honestly, finding the perfect place is PRICELESS to us. Our dog seems comfortable being here, and maybe secretly enjoys it because he doesn't get nervous during drop offs anymore LOL We love our doggo so much and love that we found a dog groomer who is reliable, trustworthy, honest, and so friendly to us and Sage our dog. We plan on returning for years to come.

The professionalism and structure they bring is unmatched. They manage their facility much like a children's daycare, every dog is carefully evaluated before being welcomed into the community, vaccinations must be up to date, and safety is clearly their top priority. The facility is incredibly clean, organized, and thoughtfully run. We also love all the extras they offer. From different levels of boarding (the highest tier even includes a special tuck-in and Kong treat!) to dog training, bathing, nail trimming, and their fully engaging playrooms, complete with Dog TV, play structures, bubbles, pool days, and themed activities, it's clear they go above and beyond to make every stay fun and enriching. They even include webcams for us parents to check in on them from time to time! Our doggie Herkules absolutely LOVES his Dogtime family. It is truly his home away from home, and he gets so excited every time we pull into the parking lot. As very particular dog parents, trust means everything to us -- and there is no place we trust more than Dogtime. Tony and Krista have done an incredible job since taking over the business. They've created something really special, and we are forever grateful to them for caring for our dog kids as if they were their own.

We couldn't be happier with the incredible job she does with our Maltipoo, Luna. She's also incredibly efficient--Luna is usually finished in about an hour, while other groomers have kept her all day. Alycia's mobile grooming service is especially wonderful for dogs with anxiety because dogs like Luna don't have to spend hours sitting in a crate listening to other dogs bark and howl. The one-on-one attention makes such a difference. What impresses me most is Alycia's attention to detail and genuine care. She is meticulous in her work, and Luna has never come home with a nick, cut, or unexplained scratch--something we unfortunately experienced with other groomers in the Bay Area. Luna receives compliments every single time she's groomed by Alycia. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is truly a godsend, and we're so grateful to have found her.

Over the years I've tried different groomers, but many times my baby would come home whimpering or clearly uncomfortable, and as a pet parent that breaks your heart. With Alysia, it's completely different. Star is always happy, calm, and comfortable after her appointments. You can tell she's treated with patience, kindness, and real love. Alysia takes the time to understand dogs, especially strong personalities like huskies, and it shows in the way Star trusts her. Not only does Star always look beautiful after her grooming, but I also have peace of mind knowing she's in caring hands. Finding someone you trust with your fur baby is priceless, and I'm beyond grateful we found Alysia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a groomer who genuinely cares.
