    Denise is very nice and took excellent care of our little rescue, Charlie. Also the little doggies get to walk around the front room and aren't stuck in a bunch of crates all day. So nice to have someone good so close to home

    Michelle is fantastic and she does an excellent job with our puppy. She is very patient and takes her time to do a great job. Every time we take our dog there, he doesn't want to leave!! Highly recommended Michelle.

    After our excellent groomer moved out of town, my poor pup has had a series of bad cuts, one included shaving her down to very little hair so that supposedly the puppy hair and adult hair did not get matted. I have since been told by multiple groomers that this was not necessary. I have a toy poodle and I've always been fond of the continental cut, so shaving her down was a nightmare... Anyway, I was in search of a new groomer and I am so lucky that I found Ruth, who is amazing and so conveniently close to my home. She had a book with a variety of poodle specific cuts and she spent a lot of time with me discussing what I wanted and figuring out the most flattering cut for my puppy, she spent a lot of time on her, was very thorough, and explained to me exactly what she was going to do and I couldn't be happier!

    One of the cutest haircut my dog has gotten!

    Esther is soooooo amazing! My goldendoodle hates getting brushed daily so he gets matted so quickly…read moreeven with grooming every 3 months. We just moved to OC and found Esther thru seeing her work on another pup while I was out and about. To be completely honest, when I dropped my pup off, I was so ready to picked up a completely shaved boy (because he is so matted on random spots) Esther spent the entire day with him (blessed her heart) When I picked him up, I wanted to cry. He looked sooooo cute and like a perfect teddy bear! Could not thank Esther enough. You have a customer for life! We love you and grateful to have found you!

    One of the most frustrating and unprofessional experiences I have ever had with a business…read more The crazy part is that I had actually brought one of my dogs here before. The haircut was decent and the experience was okay, which is why I decided to come back with all three of my dogs. Looking back, that was a mistake. I scheduled appointments and clearly discussed haircuts for all three dogs. They kept my dogs for over three hours, and when I picked them up, it was obvious that almost nothing had been done. No haircut. No proper grooming. No bath. It looked like they had simply been brushed and sent back out. After wasting hours of my day and leaving my dogs there, I received essentially no service. Then came the best part: they expected me to pay around $100 per dog anyway. Let me be clear--the money is not the problem. The problem is expecting customers to pay hundreds of dollars for services that were never provided. Why would anyone pay for a haircut that never happened? To make things even worse, over a month later the owner called me demanding money and threatening legal action. Instead of taking responsibility for the fact that nothing was done, she chose to act aggressively and try to intimidate me. If that is how customer complaints are handled, it's no wonder people leave upset. This business seems far more concerned about collecting money than actually delivering the services customers are paying for. The lack of professionalism, accountability, communication, and customer service is unbelievable. I gave this place a second chance because my first visit was decent. After this experience, there won't be a third chance. I will never bring my dogs back here again. If you care about your pets, your time, and your money, I strongly recommend finding another groomer. There are plenty of businesses that actually do the work before demanding payment for it.

    We too used to like them, but the last time we boarded my 93 year old mom's 15 (?) year old sweet…read morelittle rescue dog, he got out and was lost for an unknown period of time. It turned out that it wasn't that long, but anything could have happened - he was loose and could have been hit by a car, grabbed by a coyote, or picked up by someone not as kind as the people who found him. Imagine landing from a trip and turning on your phone to a message from a strange (but kind!) man with a Santa Barbara area code saying he had your dog that they'd found running scared in the street - my mom was hysterical. They tried to slough it off and when they knew how upset I was, both Kristen & her husband started using rather foul language - they were the ones who lost the dog! I also question if they are licensed to board dogs in a residential neighborhood. I was shocked to find out a day or so later they had asked my mom to pay the entire bill! Incredible nerve after putting her through that trauma. She paid it "as she was afraid they would sue her." I discussed with Kristen calmly and she agreed to reduce it by 50% and refund my mom the difference. Then she started trying to renegotiate and offered only 1 night off "per her business consultant." Kristen has tried to contact my mom repeatedly, including going to her home, after my mom has not responded and I have asked her not to several times, and this is definitely verging on elder abuse. My mom is so upset, she says she'll never travel or board him again. As of today, over 3 weeks later, still no refund to my mom for their incredible negligence. I also noticed, as Brian S. did, that other than my mom's review in Sept, before they lost Reggie and when we still liked & trusted them, all other reviews are very old and refer to the previous owners.

    I am so grateful for the Island Pooch walkers. The walkers that Kristin chooses are so good and…read moretrustful. They arrive on time and have such good communication.
