Anthony did such an amazing job with my puppy. I was worried she would be difficult because she doesn't like baths usually. She got a very bad report card from another place lol He was so sweet with her as she was a little afraid at first. She came back looking and smelling beautiful. Thank you Anthony!

Great experience with Anthony. My puppy looked great. This company is a little more expensive than another one that I tried but it was worth it. I will definitely use them again.

Anthony came to my house this morning and transformed my pup from scruffy to sophisticated! Amazing work and will absolutely be using him again!

Top notch service from this company. Always on time. Great communication. Outstanding groomers. Jessica always puts in the extra effort to make our dog look amazing. She is an extremely talented groomer. Pricing is very competitive.

Once again Panda is a happy pup! Anthony came out today and took such amazing care of my Australian Shepard who just spent 4 days camping. She was a HOT mess in my eyes and Anthony showed her ALL the love. Thank you Emily for having such a great team. Anthony arrived during the time frame we were told and even notified us when he was in the way. Could not be happier. Emily the owner remembers her customers, she was so kind and professional when I called to make the appointment. This IS a kind, professional loving company.

I can't say enough good things about this place! Ray is so sweet and personable. I was very impressed with how patient she was with my 8 month old puppy. If you need someone to groom your dogs please use this place! You will not regret it!!! 100% worth every penny. Thank you again, Ray!

Fantastic grooming! Our 7 year-old Aussie, Hazel, was beautifully groomed. The best work ever done! We could tell she felt happy, more relaxed and comfortable after her wash, deshed and light trim up. Never going anywhere else.

I'm only giving this a two star because my dog ended up looking decent and they were prompt with timing . However, long story short. I told the lady on the phone that they needed to be careful with my dog because he has hip dysplasia. He's very sensitive with his back legs and usually will just sit down when he's uncomfortable with washing. He's the sweetest GOLDEN RETRIEVER you will ever meet. I told the lady to be very gentle and that was that. She brought my dog back into the house and goes "Your dog is nippy, he tried to bite me." I was in complete shock because he's never done that before. I conveyed that was really unusual and asked what was going on during that. She said when she was doing his back legs and picking up his feet. Mind you my dog lets you do all these things when you're gentle. And if he doesn't like it he'll sit down or move. So, that tells me she was really harsh with him. I asked her if she was gentle and restated about his hips and she completely brushed me off saying "I've never had that experience with a golden." We payed and she left. My dog comes in the house crying for about 5 minutes! I am completely horrified by this. Please be careful with pets here especially if they're sensitive. My dog's been groomed several times before and this has NEVER happened.

I have had 4 Australian Shepherds over the past 25 years. Have had several mobile grooming services to my home. Today was my first time having Barkingham Palace to my home. The groomer was on time, excellent with my dog. The fees seem reasonable/average. My dog was absolutely beautiful! I made another appointment next week for my other Aussie. I would recommend this grooming service.

Everything was great from my initial phone call to book the appointment with Emily, to the end with three clean pups - two Newfies and an Aussie. Not an easy gig, but Jaycee was very good with all of them. She was on time for the appointment (a little early even), she asked me what I wanted with the grooming, and then just went to work. From how my babies were acting when they came out of the truck, I know they were well cared for. I think my 11 month-old boy weighs more than Jaycee but she handled him well. I have two happy Goofy Newfies, and a smiling Aussie. Now, everyone needs a nap from all that work. Will definitely call again.

I honestly don't know if I love Jaycee more or if my dogs do. I have a rescued golden with pretty severe anxiety, and trusting anyone with her has always been hard for me. The idea of handing my dogs over to someone I can't watch the entire time used to feel impossible. A few years ago, though, I took a chance on Jaycee--and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made for my pups. From the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, kindness, and care. She didn't just groom my dogs--she took the time to understand them, to meet them where they were, and to gently earn their trust. That meant more to me than I can even put into words. Watching my anxious golden slowly light up around her, and now seeing both of my dogs literally dance with excitement when she arrives, has been the greatest gift. Jaycee isn't just a groomer to us--she's become a person my dogs adore and someone I deeply trust. If you're nervous, hesitant, or protective of your pets the way I am, I can promise you this: choosing Jaycee is something you will never regret. I can't believe I forgot to write a review a LONG time ago! read more

My rescue Havapoo had never been groomed to my knowledge. I scheduled a mobile grooming so he can get clean and get a haircut. The appointment making process was so smooth and easy, and the owner Emily (I believe that's her name!) was so accommodating to make my pup feel as comfortable as possible for his first grooming. She really listened to me and made me feel confident in them. Nicole came today to groom Lucky, and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about her. She listened to me as well, and from the beginning treated Lucky as if he was hers. I felt so comfortable having her take him. She took her time, and even updated me with how he was doing!! Lucky did amazing with her, and came out looking amazing!!! He's so soft and fluffy and looks like a whole new dog. I cannot recommend Barkingham and Nicole enough!!! read more

WOW! The entire experience from booking the appointment to the end of the grooming session was perfect. We have a 13 year old Aussie who is weary of new people and very anxious. Emily & Josh made it a point to make her comfortable (as well as me by sending pics throughout the process). Our girl has a very thick coat and had matting behind her ears and was an overall hot mess. She looks like a new pup and smells so good. Excited to get on a regular schedule with the crew at Barkingham. Thank you guys SO much for helping our old mama, Annie! Huge perk: your dog doesn't have to sit in a metal cage for hours in a very stimulating environment, and they come to you. Prices are more than reasonable for the work that they do. read more

We used them for the first time today due to great reviews. Also because my dog gets nervous when I take him to a grooming place so I decided to do a mobile grooming. I also payed $110 for the service I thought it was a lot because my dog doesn't even get a haircut since he's a pit bull but anyways their service was good ears cleaned, smelled good. Except on his nail trimming they hurt him or cut to much my dog is bleeding non stop. I wished they could've communicated when it happened They didn't let me know when they finished the service I noticed once I took him inside. I don't think we will use them again.

Haha True story? Maybe A Hook just to grab your attention?? Probably Will you ever know the truth??? Absolutely Not ;) But hey, you made it this far, so let's just keep on going. Approximately a year or so ago... I was shopping at my local Trader Joe's and in the parking lot (NO, there were no dogs on the loose), but there was a table set up with 2 girls advertising a new Dog Salon that was opening right next to T.J.'s. As we were on the hunt for a new dog groomer (our last one turned out to be a nightmare), we were excited to know that one was coming soon and it was literally right down the street from our house. So I took a business card and asked how comfortable they were with working with Pugs (which are not big fans of getting their nails clipped) to which they replied "they could absolutely do it." Within a week from my initial interaction with the 3 Tails staff in the parking lot, I made an appointment with the gal behind the counter named X.O. Little did I know then, but X.O. would soon be the one who would always ensure our sweet pug named Teddy was in good hands every time we would bring him here for a nail trim. X.O., you truly are the BEST!!! Since Teddy's first nail clipping here, we have been back pretty much every 2 to 3 weeks and over time, Teddy has seemed to get less and less anxious when it came time to go in for a nail trimming. In the beginning, I'll admit that I too would be a little anxious and would nervously wait for him right outside while he was in the back getting his nails done. Nowadays, I just drop him off with no cares in the world and go shopping at T.J's. Within 20 minutes or so, my Teddy boy is ready for pick up and he seems to be unfazed. I truly believe that it's the 3 Tails Team that works their magic and their genuine love for dogs brings a calmness not only to the dogs themselves, but also to their nervous-nelly pet owners (aka me). Other than nail trimmings, 3 Tails Dog salon offers the following: Baths, Grooming, Teeth Brushing, Ear Cleaning, Anal Glands Service and Day Care is also available. So if you are a Thousand Oaks, Conejo Valley local and you're looking for an AWESOME Dog grooming salon, I highly encourage you to give this place your business and support.

She gives him the perfect traditional cocker cut that would have every lady at the dog park swooning.....if only he weren't neutered! Trying to get a decent photo of him post-groom is like trying to take a selfie with Bigfoot, but trust me, he looks fabulous. The prices are fair, the vibes are great, and the dedicated parking right out front is a game changer when you're wrangling a flailing fur missile in and out of the car. Highly recommend. Teddy gives it four paws up!!!

Furever Grooming is wonderful!

He comes home happy every time, and I trust them completely with his care. So glad we found them!

Let me just begin by saying I've had yet ANOTHER amazing experience with Barkingham Palace Mobile groomers. This company is just fantastic but it's their employees that make it truly GREAT!! The wonderful humans they employ are absolute gems and LOVE what they do! They are KIND, caring, courteous, timely, professional and extremely talented. Not to mention VERY personable (which I, very much appreciate). Here at our house our dogs are FAMILY and I want whomever is caring for them to treat them as such. Sadly, because life is crazy busy this review is a year in the making, (more like - a year late) and I'm sorry it took so long. But! This most recent appointment(s) were just so good I had to make the time, sit my butt down and FINALLY write about it. So, get comfy.... Cause I'm wordy. (My husband refers to it a tad differently, but whatever :-) Anywho, we scheduled two appointments within the last month (We usually do all 3 fur babies at the same time, but this month my youngest gsd had double ear infections so he was left out of the last appointment -per our vet. It was these last two appointments where I got to meet Raylynn for the first time. (Not worried at all because every groomer that's been sent to us is always wonderful). First, straight facts; Raylynn is an incredibly talented groomer and second -she is amazing with my dogs. Right out of the box my dogs gravitated to her. This is not always the case with my German shepherds because they are very intuitive and tend to "check energy" for a bit longer than other dogs. Not so with Raylynn. I could tell almost immediately my boys felt very comfortable around her. Neither of my boys has ever laid down at a strangers feet (especially a groomer with all their exciting smells) But they were perfect gentlemen and waited patiently for their turn as we talked. So, needless to say, I was very impressed (actually shocked is a better word). You know what they say; dogs can read energy better than humans, so - trust them." Well, to say the very least - they were spot on. I don't think my dogs have ever looked this good or been this happy after they've been groomed - EVER! It really says a lot about someone when my dogs cry to get into the van and then whine as she drives away. I could go on but I see you yawning (not sure I would've even gotten to this point, so good for you)! I will end by saying, Bravo Emily and the incredible team you've put together. I know I've told you this but, keep up the good work!! You are setting the bar VERY high! Raylynn is exceptional at her job and always keeps me posted about my dogs behavior or any issues she may see - which I appreciate. I also really like the fact that I done have to medicate my dogs like I've been asked to with past groomers. It really goes to show, if you're a competent groomer - little or NO MEDS should be needed! Ariel is another gem that my pups just love to pieces! Oh!! I think you gained at least two or three new customers tonight because there was a crowd of neighbors at the van chatting with Raylynn before she left. PS: is there a referral bonus? Asking for a friend? Wink*wink* read more

I have always had a great experience with Barkingham Palace. With short hair dogs I have no problem bathing them myself, other than i can be lazy. Lol. But my huskies hair gets out of control. Long, wet and sticky hair all over me and my walls afterwards is not fun to clean. Barkingham keeps my doggies pretty, which keeps my house cleaner and me happy. The staff is always friendly, always on time and my dogs love them. I love being able to still accomplish things at home, and not leave the house. It is worth every penny and more. Today my Romeo was groomed by Raylynn. She was super caring and sweet. He was shedding pretty bad. Now he is so clean and fluffy. Thank you Raylynn and Barkingham Palace! read more

I have an 80 lb., 3 year old Golden Doodle named Laker who requires a ton of grooming, patience and doggie devotion to get the job done beautifully. Barkingham Palace has been grooming him for the past 3 years. I cannot offer high enough praise for their professionalism, skilled expertise and yeah, patience, lots and lots of patience. The groomers seem to love the challenge Laker presents and are committed to handing me back a beautiful, handsome, happy dog... not a hair out of place! And I love the convenience of having them come to my house. No feelings of abandonment, no guilt ... he is in the hands of a groomer the entire time. Barkingham Palace is awesome all the time! read more

this place is extremely pleasant and informative. My dog is not the best with her feet and sometimes her romp other groomers have even turned us away because of such thing. the groomer raylynn had nothing but utmost patience and encouragement for our fur baby and I actually saw a goofy side of my dog today afterwards which was very encouraging that she feels so comfortable in barkingham palaces care. She is delightful to say the least I highly recommend even with pets who need a little more love and time. I really appreciate employees who go above and beyond for animal care since I've seen so many of mine and my girlfriends babies be treated so terrible. Gave me hope again. read more

I had been looking for a new mobile groomer for my 14 1/2 year old standard poodle for 2 years, as my wonderful groomer was no longer able to take her. I went through a few of them. The inconsistency and reliability I was coming across was disheartening. Then I found Barkingham with Emily and Jaycee, who's been grooming my Gracie, and I couldn't be happier. They are so warm and friendly and really care about my dog, loving and gentle with her. My Gracie Girl looks amazing every time! They make it so easy to book an appointment, they have always been on time and even let me know when they are on their way. I'm so grateful to have found them. read more

Josh did a wonderful job grooming Coco, our almost 2 year old German Shepherd Mix Rescue. She is always playing in the dirt and grass and really needed a nice bath and brush. I would recommend Josh grooming your dog. This is the first time I used this service and price quoted increased due to the time it took to care for Coco, which I understood. This was such a convenience, instead of putting her in my car, driving her to the groomer and having her wait at the groomer with all the other dogs which gets her excited, and stressed, and then having to pick her up again. Very convenient and will use this service again and again!!! read more

We cannot say enough nice things about Barkingham Palace, and our groomer Jaycee! She took care of all of our pets with such love and attention. She made sure she understood what we wanted in terms of bathing and styling. The end result is amazing, our dogs have never looked so good or been so happy after a bathing/grooming session. All 3 of our pups were trying to follow her out the door as she left. We now have a standing appointment, and even though the Barkingham Palace vehicle just pulled away, our pets are already looking forward to their next appointment. Highly recommend this service and Jaycee as a technician. read more

I have had many many dogs over the years. I have used all different types of mobile groomers. I hate the thought of dropping my dog off at 9 in the morning and picking them up at 5. Barkingham Palace is the answer to all of my dogs needs. They are easy to make an appointment. They text you when they are in the way to your house. And most of all the groomer, Tai, greeted my dog and loved her for a few minutes before even starting the grooming. Tai was fast and efficient. My dog was beautiful, clean and happy when it was all over!! I whole heartedly recommend Barkingham Palace to any and all dog owners!! read more

excuse me if I didn't hear the name right but i think her name is raylenn , but she has the cool tattoos as well as piercings. I made a yelp just to say how phenomenal this young lady is. My wife and I were absolutely delighted with her service and more, she made it such a great experience since our last groomer practically traumatized our baby. Her attention to detail and customer service exceeded every expectation I've ever had. I will be using Barkingham palace from here on out thanks to her. dog dad approved for sure ! :-) Keep her around read more

Barkingham Palace is a first class act. The owner works very hard to satisfy your needs and she does. The company is punctual and courteous. A great grooming company! What a joy to not not have to load your dogs and take to the groomer, The grooming truck comes right to your home or office. The best part is your dogs are more relaxed and happy to see the groomers, no long day in a kennel crate. Good for dogs and great for the owners. The price is a bit higher as she provides door to door servive, it saves customers time and gas. read more

As a married wfh couple we needed an easy grooming solution so and gave barkingham palace a try. Ray was the groomer who attended to Cook the first visit and we have rescheduled routinely with Ray twice now. It's clear she's a dog person and cares about the dogs she grooms and does it right every time. Cook loves her and she is sure to be attentive to your dogs needs and works with you. We recommend Ray for your grooming needs!! She's been great to work with and is flexible when scheduling. On time and always so fun to deal with read more

Barkingham Palace has been grooming my dogs for years. We tried so many groomers and had so many bad experiences before we finally found a groomer we love. We love having Barkingham Palace come to our home! It is so much easier on my animals and ME! We no longer have to take the horrible car ride where I have to drag my dogs into the groomer and leave them there kenneled for half the day. My dogs love to get groomed now!!! Emily and her staff are always on time, kind and professional. I will never use another groomer!!! read more

I am absolutely thrilled with the service from Barkingham Palace! Our groomer, Josh, did a fantastic job and even stayed extra long to make sure our dog was perfect. We have a German Shepard that needed some love and I could not believe how great she looked when she was finished. Josh knew exactly how to handle her extreme anxiety and they were best friends by the end. Amazing experience overall. Mobile grooming is a bit pricey for us, but we were extremely pleased with the results and will definitely be calling back soon! read more

Ray and Sarah at Barkingham Palace have groomed our shih tzu Chewy multiple times now and every time has been a great experience. Chewy gets full service in the spacious air conditioned truck, a bath, a shave, nails clipped, ears cleaned, and a cute bandanna to top it off when he's done. Also, we never have to wait long to get an appointment, they are very responsive, and accommodating to busy schedules. I would recommend Barkingham Palace to anyone who is looking for a caring, convenient, wonderful dog grooming service. read more

Very thankful to have found a company that has groomers with such compassion and care. I have an old golden that refused to walk at all for months. I got booked with Rae and she worked with my dog's comfortability. A few of her nails were curling into her pads and she fixed it the last time a saw her, and by the next appointment she was fully walking around and happy. I cannot thank barkingham enough for giving my dog more life and taking away her pain, I know it wasn't easy. Thank you!!! read more

my little raptor had crazy dewclaws and the last person missed them completely , neglected her as well :( , was astonished by the inadequate service and horrible customer service skills! my girlfriend recommended these guys as she saw them in the neighborhood and tried them. Ray is so good! She deserves all the praise and credit she helped me not get torn up by my baby and my sweet little baby to feel better walking. So it's a win win , Barkingham is truly a palace for pups ! read more

My dog was getting pretty furry and with the excessive heat wave that's currently going on I really wanted to get him shaved quickly to relieve him a from the heat. I called Barkingham Palace to set up an appointment and they were able to come out the very next business day! My dog got his 'summer' cut and is now able to deal with the heat more comfortably. Barkingham Palace always provides a great service, are very professional and do a great job! Thank you! read more

I wish I could give our groomer raylynn more than 5 stars. This young lady outdoes herself each and every time she works with our dog. I would suggest her to anyone and everyone looking for a kind and very hardworking groomer. Our dog is normally not one for new people but practically breaks down the door for her. She tells me everything being done and or going to be done down to the last "hair". always a pleasure to see her and our baby looking brand new! read more

Real professionals here. I was taking my dog to a salon for a while before noticing my dog would be mortified to go in, more so than his vet visits. Enter Barkingham. Raylynn was extremely knowledgeable and totally has a way with dogs, he was jumping with excitement around her from start to finish. She pointed out things to look for in a rushed groom since apparently the last place left him uneven in random spots. Wonderful job with a wonderful company. read more

We have used another mobile groomer before but did not have a good experience. Completely different with Josh with Barkingham Palace! Spoke to Emily and set up my appointment which turned out to be the next day! Great communication via text message which kept me informed. Josh text me in advance and showed up on time! Molly, our Yellow Lab was treated so well and we were very pleased with the service! We would definitely recommend Barkingham Palace! read more
