Nora is the best with my shy labradoodle! My only recommendation is to call early because they book weeks in advance.

This is a long review but the bottom line is that Lindsey is amazing and you should definitely bring your pets here for quality service. We found Cali pet on Yelp because our usual mobile groomer had to cancel last minute. My dog Alizé is a nervous dog when it comes to grooming and nail clipping but, thankfully they only grind nails. Alizé has a very sensitive neck due to trachea, but Lindsey took good care of her. The staff's expert care, set up, and love. These women definitely do care about dogs. With all the horrible stories about groomers mistreating pets at the big stores. I had no reluctance about leaving Alizé with Lindsay. When I picked Alizé up from Cali pet, she seemed less stressed then when picking her up from the other groomers I have tried and the vet. It seems the groomers here are careful to do what you request, they are knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and have good systems. Cali pet is a bit more expensive than the other places I have tried but, the cuts last a good 3-4 months and grow out gracefully like a well done people haircut. They are good about having your dog ready when they say they will too. My dog Alizé have had small injuries at the other groomers I have tried. We'd end up taking Alizé to a vet and spent more money. I feel more confident that Cali pet groomers do their work with sufficient care, time, and skill that injuries are no longer a worry. I definitely would recommend them. It's not just the service but the care. read more

Soooooo my amazing groomer who I've trusted with my pup for a few years now is working here and I couldn't be more excited. Jessica is a superb groomer, she takes her career very seriously and has strong love for animals. I can't express how hard it is to find someone that grooms your pup and is consistent and she does an amazing job every single time. She pays close attention to detail, she's very organized, and is extremely kind. From the grooming to customer service you really cannot go wrong with Jessica. I will never go to anyone as long as I have fur babies. She has grown to be someone very important to us as we see her so regularly. Jessica is someone who goes above and beyond to satisfy her clientele and make sure she gives you exactly what you're looking for. I know as a fur mom it is hard to find someone to trust my morkie with as she's 4 lbs. My kiwi is excited to get groomed and always so excited to see Jessica. I go to Jessica every 2-3 weeks, and I've never even thought to try anyone else because of how happy myself and kiwi are with her. The facility is extremely clean, they're very timely, very kind and overall exceptional. I highly recommend coming here and requesting Jessica. Today- 8/2/20 Eli gave my little fur baby a bath and Tracey did a trim! Couldn't be happier with the outcome! Adore Jessica, Tracey and Eli's work! highly recommend read more

I recently adopted a three year old golden doodle, Dixie. On the many doodle pages I'm apart of every single one recommend Cali Pets! They specialize in doodles! I have taken Dixie twice now for "selfies" aka self wash and the staff is so nice and kind! They provide everything you need to get your dog clean. Tracy saw me struggling while drying my pup and she came over to help and tell me tips on how to properly dry my dog. As a first time dog owner I appreciate any help I can get. Today I went in for Dixie's first groom and Lori did an amazing job. I was not sure what to expect as it was my first time getting Dixie groomed. Lori blew every expectation I had. She was super sweet and welcoming to me and Dixie. She completed everything I asked for. I will definitely come back and ask for Lori again! If you can't tell from the picture Dixie enjoyed her spa day too! read more

Trimming my cats' nails is tricky and we found the right place to help. They take great care of my cats!

We took our dog here to get groomed and he looked great! He is an 80ish lb golden retriever and it was $87 which seemed pretty standard when I called around (even on the less expensive end). He hates the groomer and they said he barked the whole time, but that's not their fault! They cut his butt hair like I asked and gave him an all around trim. He looked very hand some afterwards. read more

Cali Pets - $87 for a wash, trim, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, and nail trimming - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Marcos, California

Took our pup here and got the three for thirty (ears cleaned, nails trimmed and teeth brushed) we were there for about 20 minutes, & during the entire duration of our visit, I noticed two dogs were left unattended on the first two grooming tables. The second table was high up and the dog was very small, he was still strapped with his leash around his neck and collar hooked above him on the table! I just feel like if the dog got scared or tried to jump off for any reason it would've been really bad. The next day we called see how much it would cost to get our dog a bath (we normally do it ourselves but he had an accident and got very dirty) and they quoted us $60. I asked if they could express his anal glands and then they said it would be $70. They explained that fee consisted of a simple bath, nail trimming, ear cleaning and teeth brushing. I had mentioned that we had just been in the day before and we did all of that & asked if they could give me a discount since we just paid thirty the day before, and they said no. That on top of the safety hazard, we won't be back. read more

That is such bullshit! We've let him grow out that long everytime and he's never came home bleeding and hurt before! We get he might be matted, but you guys skinned him!!! He had large wounds on his ears and neck that are just finishing healing now wtf! Why don't you take responsibility for your business instead of trying to make excuses! We called your store multiple times and you are no where to be found, and better yet you took the time to write a 3 paragraph response but couldn't take the time to call us back! You and your business is a joke. Thanks for skinning our dog and leaving him looking like a rat for $135! read more

I was a satisfied customer until the owner blatantly ignored my appointment that was made 5 weeks before and didn't answer my phone call or texts. I would not recommend this business if you're looking for people who respect their loyal clients (in my case for over 6 years.) read more

Tracy and team make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and treated well. Not the case with all groomers! They create an stress-free environment that we greatly appreciate. Highly recommend! read more

Zoë loves Cali Pets. They do a brilliant job grooming her and everyone is so caring. My dog, which used to tremble she was so afraid of the parlor, now gets excited when they collect her from home. This is all thanks to Tracy and her team who provide good care, with love. Zoë has started paying for her own services. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I totally would, without a doubt. Bonbon had experienced another location in which when he left he was scared, nervous and very anxious but today Jessica was the hero of the day!

SHUT UP! If you want your dog loved, pampered and looking SPIFFY AF this is the spot! Honestly, I've known these folks for a while and they do a fantastic job. I've lived in north county for 7 years and have not been able to find a groomer who is consistent, reasonably priced, gives a great cut and usually able to accommodate busy schedule within a couple days notice before finding Cali Pets. Online scheduling makes everything that much easier. Best yet, they make you feel like they love and adore your pet just as much as you do! Worth every penny! read more

Cali Pets - Seriously, look at this happy camper!!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Marcos, California

Brought our dog here for the first time. Mainly due to location. The prices were a little higher than I thought. The young blonde at the front was rude and we seemed to be interrupting her personal time. It's the worst feeling to not be greeted in a friendly manner when entering a business. The groomer (cannot remember her name) did a great job and was loving and understanding to our scared little guy. We will likely give this place another shot. Hopefully someone friendly is working the front. read more

Cali Pets - Bernie the bernedoodle - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Marcos, California

I tried two other dog grooming places before sticking with this one. The reason I like this one the best is because plain and simply, my dog always looked his best when they were done with him. The first time I came here was in January, when Tyla groomed him. I usually try to get him groomed around every three months or so, and so when all this coronavirus mania happened, I couldn't afford to be picky with who was available. I tried giving him a haircut myself three weeks ago, but it was a disaster, haha! I am no dog groomer! I'd rather let the professionals do their job, while at the same time supporting small businesses. This morning when I called, I got Lori as his groomer. Both Tyla & Lori of them did an excellent job! I was very grateful that they happened to have an opening when I called them last minute this morning, and were so accommodating around all this COVID19 stuff! They pick up and drop off your dog from your car in the parking lot (no one is allowed in the shop at this time). They even allow you to pay via venmo for contactless payment! Unfortunately for them, I happen to not have venom at this time, so they made do with my debit card. I will be sticking with this place for all my baby's grooming needs from now on. Thanks so much for your warm customer service and flexibility, Cali Pets! Love, Matcha read more

Always have the best experience at cali pets! The staff is so friendly and you can tell they truly love their jobs and the doggos!

This is a good place if you want your dog to look good, they never mess up while grooming my dog and they always follow specific instructions I give. I would totally recommend this place to take your dog to. I always come here when I want my dog groomed or when he is sick/something is wrong with him. I also love how they give you free bandannas when you pick up your dog! I think thats really kind of them to give out free accessories for you dog :) read more

Poor management. Always changing appointments and they don't take you on time. Complain about your dog being difficult. Wouldn't you be difficult if hairs were being pulled out of your ears? read more

My daughter took her dog in to get her nails trimmed, and the dog left traumatized and with bleeding paws (one paw completely left undone). She has to be really sure of where she takes her dog because she is a rescue and very skittish. We took her dog here six months ago and whoever trimmed the dog's nails last time completely understood how to handle the dog, keep her calm, and did a great job with her nails. THAT'S why we went back. I have no idea what happened today, but now the dog and my daughter are upset, and the dogs 3 out of 4 paws (the one not trimmed) are bleeding and sore. That dog will never want to get them trimmed again, which would be a nightmare because her nails get really long! read more

Courtney did a great job with my sketchy little feller. He even gave her a little kiss to say thanks. I was impressed. They are usually able to get my guy in pretty quickly so that is also much appreciated. read more

They called me and said they could no longer service my pets! They always said my dogs were great during grooming. So I suspect the tips were not enough to please them even though I always tipped between 18 and 20%! It's a ripoff and they only service clients who tip above and beyond! read more

Due to COVID, my sweet mini poodle mix hadn't been groomed in over a year. I was both nervous and excited to get him into the groomer: nervous that the groomer would "scold" me for any matting he'd developed over the past year and excited to get him looking like his normal cute self again. I recently moved and needed to find a new groomer. Cali Pets could get him in fairly quickly, and I am so impressed with their work! Lori took the best care of my little guy: she gave him the works, didn't make me feel guilty at all for any matting, and took time to get to know him and help him feel at ease. When I came to pick him up, I was greeted by a happy doggy who had the best haircut he's ever gotten! He's soft and fluffy, and he looks so healthy and clean. I've already scheduled his follow up grooming appointment with Lori - I think it's safe to say we found our new groomer. read more

Cali Pets - Q after his trip to Cali pets - looking good! - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Marcos, California

I was just there with my 4 month old puppy and now he has mites and fleas. We were able to get rid of the fleas but the mange is something that according to his vet is going to take a lot of time and work. I wish I would have never gone to get his grooming done there I should of watched a few videos and did it myself because the grooming part was done very well he looked so handsome when we picked him up but the results of him getting mites and fleas there is a nightmare. read more

I've taken my 2 year old golden retriever to Cali Pets 4-5 times and they've done an excellent job each time. They check his ears for infection, they ask if I want them to trim his whiskers before they do it (which I appreciate because I do NOT want them to trim his whiskers), and they do a great job trimming his fur. They've never shaved him which is something I'm always terrified of (I've read horror stories of dog groomers shaving golden retrievers-- such a disaster) and my dog seems to have a really good time every time. The groomers are nice and I love that they put a cute little handkerchief around his neck when he's done. :) great job Cali pets! I'll definitely be back. read more

I've taken my dog here twice but not sure if I'll be coming back. They do a great job at washing her! But unfortunately they're not able to clip or file down her nails for me because my dog freaks out too much I guess :/ which is a bummer because I'd love to get my dog's nails done at the same time she gets washed! Honestly, the reason I went to get her washed was for the nail trims I think we're gonna try other spots too, to see which is our fave. But other than the nail situation, this could've been a 5 star review! read more

I am a proud owner of a standard and toy poodle and have never had a groom as fine as this none on both dogs today. You have done an exceptional job and you should be commended on all counts.
