While his ears weren't plucked during the appointment, the staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and patient with both me and my dog.

I'll definitely be bringing my pup back for future grooming appointments!

She is well enough behaved that she does not need to be crated when not being worked on, and that makes us feel a lot better about her stay which can be 3-4 hours depending on how busy they get. There's plenty of parking in the neighborhood and it's pedestrian friendly so we can go for walks before or after grooming. If you'd like to wait while your pet gets groomed like we sometimes do, Peet's is down the street and there are lots of places to eat nearby if you're hungry.

I had an appointment today with Alisha. She did a fabulous job with my orange tabby (Papi). He's a…read moresenior cat and he's my entire world. Alisha has amazing, kind, and safe energy. Papi is about to turn 9 years old, is a rescue, has anxiety, and is very shy. Alisha was incredibly patient with Papi and made sure he was very comfortable. He had a fabulous first grooming experience. I'm so happy that I made an appointment with Alisha. Papi feels so soft and smells so good! I can tell he feels great after his bath. This photo was taken as soon as we got home. He wasn't upset at all after the experience. I appreciate how Alisha really prioritizes giving pets a positive experience. I'll 100% for sure be a returning client. And I'll be recommending this business to my friends who are pet parents!

We love it at Claudia's! We've been bringing our doggie who's a 4yr old beagle to the San Leandro…read moreand Castro valley location since he was a puppy!! 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.

I couldnt even speak to a groomer, I spoke to a person helping witb registration. I asked him tk NOT be shaved to look like a rat and thats what they did. I want him to have a teddy fluffy look. They used razor to shave his face instead of scissors. Im so disappointed without how he looked. He was not matted at all too, we brush him and hes a puppy. Im never coming back here. I decided to not crash out at the store but the look is so hideous. I felt like I was robbed. He was so much cuter before. Please

We have been bringing our dogs to Dogtime for close to 10 years for both daycare play and overnight…read moreboarding, and we truly could not imagine going anywhere else. 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.
