At first, I was really happy with this service. Whomever was initiating the text conversation for the booking/appointment was responsive & straight forward. I did find it a bit weird you can't literally speak to anyone, though. I honestly don't even know exactly who it was texting me- the owner or an employee? They were able to get me in within a week, an initial arrival time of 4pm but due to a cancellation I was given a heads up two days before they'd be able to arrive between 2:30-3pm, which I appreciated having another engagement later in the afternoon. They communicated their arrival time ahead when en route, and also gave a firm/fair estimate. It was easy enough to bring my cat out to the van in her carrier. But, something left me very uneasy just handing her off while I sat inside. I understand it's too crowded for patrons to sit inside, but it's just not something I'm used to- my kitty is 14 with a heart murmur so she's "babied" quite a bit! I had them come out because she isn't properly cleaning herself & the matting is getting bad- causing pain. Too much for me to trim manually as I'd usually do, so a lion cut shave was the best option to mitigate this. Overall, they did a pretty decent job. But, later in the evening as I'm petting her & really looking her over- I start to notice some issues. One being uneven cut just before the bottom of the leg fur. It's choppy & looks bad. But my biggest issue is the MULTIPLE cuts/open wounds on her poor tail! Those absolutely were not present before this grooming occurred. While I know the tail is difficult, I absolutely expect it be done WITHOUT cutting her! Especially for a professional. And not just once- there are well over 10 spots (as shown in my photos). This is not okay & now I actually feel terribly guilty, like I put her through torture out there in that van. They charged exactly what they quoted & said she did "really well"... but I question the second part of that because she's never been SO shaken up, and it wasn't just from being shaved. I'd like to say better & would have absolutely utilized this service again- but not after seeing how badly her tail was butchered. The shave might look decent but all the literal skin cuts are not. Poor thing didn't deserve that when the matting on her tail wasn't even the worst of it. I'd think twice before leaving your animal solely in their care without you supervising. I wish I would have insisted on staying to be there for her comfort & supervision. Also: I docked this down to 1 star after the owner began texting & harassing me in a very unprofessional manner after writing my review. Absolutely horrifying to treat a client in that manner instead of attempting to resolve anything. See photo of how they choose to interact. I'd advise avoiding. read more

I would never use this groomer ! I was told my cat was difficult she meowed to loud well yes it was her first time getting groomed ! It doesn't even smell like she had a shampoo she handed her back to me wet ! No comb no deshedding !! In fact I had to comb her once she was dry , I was charged 177 dollars for a wet cat ! Inexcusable ! I would never use them again , Ya I watched another groomer who groomed a stressed out cat she said you have to know how to work with cats ! This groomer does not have the patience to be grooming cats !! I was charged 177 dollars for her to return a wet cat to me ! Seriously wrong !! She wasn't combed ! I had to comb her my self she had fur falling off her ! What kind of company argues with the customer ? read more

I love Renée and Soft Coats grooming, my 3 dogs love her too! I have 2 shih tzu's and a yorkie we have been using them for the past 5 years. Renee is always so sweet, friendly, on time and professional. Very easy to schedule with, responds quickly, but does book up fast. She does a great job with all 3 and listens closely to what you want. So convenient and less stress on all my pups! Thank you Renee! read more

Renee is amazing! She did a fabulous job with my boy and I'll definitely be calling her back when this grows out. I was so anxious about this whole thing and I know he was too (he was very vocal about that). 'Possum is not the easiest to groom for us but something about Renee seemed to keep him in line. Once I got him back in the house I thought he was going to give me the thorns but instead I got SO much sugar. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner! Thank you Renee!!! read more

Soft Coats Mobile Grooming - 'Possum finally able to enjoy the A/C - Pet Groomers Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Oh my goodness!! We had a prior mobile groomer who did not give our girls clean, even cuts so I am so happy to have found Soft Coats! Rich and Rene are very nice people and very patient. They took some time to visit with Sugar and Sandy in our home before taking them to the van to groom. And they did a wonderful job! They were also right on time for the appointment. I highly recommend them to everyone. read more

I have been messaging this business for over a week - multiple times - and haven't even been able to get as much as a quote. Absolutely ridiculous trying to get a response from them let alone an appointment!! Good luck! read more

Wow, our Golden Retriever has never looked so good. So soft, smelled great and the groomer removed a lot of fur. We went the mobile grooming route because we didn't like our dog to be in a cage when he's groomed. We're now a customer for life of Soft Coats. Oh, and their a local business which is an added benefit. read more

I have been looking for a good groomer for over a year! No need to look any further- soft coats mobile grooming was outstanding. My dog is very high anxiety and not the easiest to groom- Jamie did a fantastic job. She did everything that I asked exactly how I wanted, and my dog came back happy and excited. I am a first time customer and I will continue using soft coats from here on out! read more

Just had Soft Coats Mobile Grooming over to shave our long hair kitty. Our kitty is very small and doesn't like traveling much, so having a groomer come to the house with a self contained grooming center was amazing. The groomer, Renee was professional and very pleasant. She did a amazing job! A great value for the price and we have already scheduled a future appointment to keep our kitty looking good. Highly recommend! read more

Cuddles and Willow loved their grooming session today! Soft Coats was amazing! Renee was prompt, gentle, caring and loving! Made the process an ease! Thank you! read more

Renee has been grooming our cat since we got to the Valley and we are beyond thrilled with her work and care. As a pet owner, you always want your pets in the hands of someone who is going to love and care for them as you would, while our cat's grooming sessions are short, we could not ask anyone to take better care of him in that short time. Her work is impeccable, and she is a consummate pro. read more

Soft Coats Mobile Grooming - Renee does an AMAZING job with our cat!!! We are always pleased, and so is he (this is his happy face). - Pet Groomers Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

It can be really hard to find a cat groomer. Most places, because of how mean most cats are, refuse to do them. I messaged Soft Coats along with many other groomers in the Gilbert Area. Not only was Soft Coats the quickest to respond, but they were also the only ones willing to shave down my cat. The end result? He's so happy and he looks so good! He's never been completely shaved before and the groomer handled him so well! Thank you guys so much for putting up with him! read more

Used this service for the first time today and was very pleased with the outcome! I have an elderly Boxer who needed some extra TLC and he received a bath, ear cleaning, and nail trim for $75. The groomer was so sweet and did an excellent job. read more

This was my first time using soft coats,and it was awesome! My dog rocker is my life and renee understands this . Hes a big boy,and she was absolutely amazing with him! Not only is she a professional at what she does, she genuinely loves animals,and it shows in her work. Rocker looked (still does) great when she was done. Rocker would always shake like a leaf when id take him to our previous groomers, it broke my heart every time,but he didnt shake and wasnt nervous at all with renee. I think he made a friend,because the previous groomers would put a bandana on him and he couldnt wait to take it off. Renee put one on him and he wont let me take it off of him,he loves it! Bottom line ,renee rocks.if you want a friendly,professional groomer who genuinely loves what she does and truly cares about your pet almost as much as you do, call renee, i guarantee you will not be disappointed!! read more

Renee has always taken care of my lovable pitbull Bella. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet(s) are comfortable and happy. Renee is anything but dishonest, unethical, and unprofessional. I highly recommend her services. read more

Our cat is a chunky babe with very thick fur. She is also quiet feisty and we are hesitaant about having her groomed because of this but she was dying in the summer heat so we had her groomed by Soft Coats and they did and INCREDIBLE job!!! Our Izzy is so happy! They took such amazing care of our girl! We loved how professional, punctual and communicative they were. Also, they were just great people over all. 12/10 would trust our babes with them and we are now scheduled forever clients. Thank you for taking such great care of our Izzy read more

The BEST groomer we've ever had fired us yesterday and what really sucks is i have to be happy for her. Renee has been taking care of my geriatric furbabies since she started working with another service and then moved on to her own business. Even though she grew her services in the East Valley, she continued making the long haul to Phoenix to care for us. She's moving even further East now and servicing Phx makes no sense and yes, we've always known this day would come. Good news for the East Valley, she'll have a few more spots open up. Folks, she is FANTASTIC, providing gentle, loving care especially to my anxiety ridden little old man, just like he's hers. Thank you Renee, for your commitment to us and the services you've provided, we will miss you!!! read more

First time using Soft Coats Mobile Grooming and found the experience to be great. It was easy to set up an appointment to get my cat groomed. We also got 2 other cat's nails trimmed. Very happy with the service. Would recommend Soft Coats Mobile Grooming and will use again! Thank you read more

Very odd and unprofessional person who runs this business. They text me to ask to see a picture of my dog and when I sent it they never texted me back. Who does this? I know it's hard to find truly professional and talented groomers in Gilbert and the east valley but this is this strangest person I have dealt with in searching for a groomer. Maybe the person didn't like that I was new to town and had an out of state number? read more

Soft Coats is amazing!!! They do a fantastic job with my teenage Australian Shepherd who has fairly severe arthritis in his back legs, are very gentle with him and work hard so that he doesn't have to stand any longer than is absolutely necessary. I would recommend Soft Coats to anyone looking for a groomer! read more

First time using a mobile groomer. So convenient! Prompt arrival, quick grooming and excellent friendly service plus very competitive pricing! Renee is a great groomer, very skilled at handling my nervous cat :) She was fast, efficient and professional. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Groomer didn't really seem to comfortable cutting my cat's hair and the end result showed. Very nice groomer maybe just needed a little more experience. read more

Loved this service! I have an old man kitty, and he's never been groomed, but it was time..... along with getting old, he's "over" grooming himself! The process with Renee was awesome, everything from booking to confirmation was via text (which is perfect for me), she was early, professional and did an exceptional job! Will recommend to others! So convenient! read more

We just tried Soft Coats Mobile Grooming for the first time today. What a wonderful experience for our sweet kitty, Zoey! She just needed a good brushing to get out a couple of matted areas, her claws clipped, and a sanitary cut around her bottom, due to her long hair. She was pretty vocal, but Renee made her comfortable enough to snuggle up against her during the process! Soft Coats is the perfect name because Zoey's fur feels like silk! We'll definitely be back and will recommend her to others! read more

If I'm going to shell out $200+ for a groomer, it would have been nice to at least have met her on the phone. After she texted me back that it would be 6 weeks for an opening, I said that was fine and if I could talk to her for a minute. She texted back that she's too busy and texts only work for her. That would be fine if I had already been a client. But when you make the call to a groomer who could potentially be handling your animals for the first time, you kind of want to get a gauge on them. At least TALK TO THEM. I had a few questions for her because I have a cat that doesn't like to be groomed. I wanted to know how she would handle him if he started to get agitated. I wanted to feel comfortable by knowing what she would do. What kind of business owner tells a potential client she has no time in 6 weeks to talk to them? What kind of business practice is that? I found it extremely rude and for someone that boasts that she really cares about animals, it doesn't seem like she cares a whole lot about their owners or their business. Very disappointed. read more

After trying several mobile groomers for my dog, who has a special personality, I've finally found the perfect person: Renee with Soft Coats. She is an excellent groomer with a fantastic setup. She is so patient with my retriever/chow-chow who is very needy. Her van is well-maintained, clean, and organized. Rene read more

Definite 4 paws up for Soft Coats and Renee! Renee is super patient with my little squirmy Yorkie, always does a great job and I feel comfortable knowing my fur baby is just outside. I had a bad experience with another mobile groomer, my dog hid all day, but not with Renee! Lots of kisses and fun. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Soft Coats Mobile Grooming is by far the best grooming experience in the valley. We have been to numerous groomers and do-it-yourself dog washes, but after my experience with Renee at Soft Coats I will never go anywhere else. We have a small sized St. Bernard (under 100lbs) and Renee had no problem de-shedding, bathing, drying, brushing, and pampering our pooch. Not to mention that she responds quickly to calls or messages, came to our house, and her service was still cheaper than other groomers around the valley. Renee showed up to our house in her state-of-the-art full service mobile grooming salon and delivered the best grooming services with phenomenal customer service. Soft Coats went above and beyond my expectations not only as a mobile groomer, but as pet grooming business. Renee at Soft Coats sets the bar for groomers around Arizona. read more

Soft Coats Mobile Grooming - Lady was so happy and clean after her appointment with Renee!!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We finally found a groomer! We've been looking for a groomer for a couple years now for our cats. Both of them get anxious when having to travel and not all groomers do cats. Renee was fantastic. She handled our long haired female and gave her a lion cut, no problems. My wife and I can't even brush her when there's two of us! We will definitely be doing all of her grooming needs with Soft Coats. read more

Renee groomed our little goldendoodle puppy for the first time a month ago. It was Bookers first grooming experience and she looked so cute when she was all cut and clean. I immediately scheduled the next appointment because I was so impressed with the results and service! read more

Renee does and amazing job. My golden never looked better! My dog get so excited every time she comes to groom. A very reasonable price for the quality of her grooming. I will recommend Soft Coats Mobile Grooming to all my friends. read more

OMG this was the BEST ideal that I could've went with since my fur baby's really don't like leaving their everyday surroundings. They loved Renee and took to her like she'd been here 1000 times. Can't wait to have her back in a few months. read more

It's rare that I meet someone for the first time, knowing very little about them and know in my heart they are truly a genuine and kind person. I knew before Renee even reached our front door that she is a very special person - gut/sixth sense, if you will. She has a true love for the dogs and cats she grooms and has genuine compassion and understanding for people. I was so impressed with her. She operates one of the best mobile grooming businesses I've ever known. read more
