We used Love and Care multiple times when our standard doodle was still just a puppy and she was…read moreabsolutely terrified of getting into the car to go anywhere. The only way we were able to get her groomed was by having someone come to us. Her haircuts were always so cute, and she has never been fluffier than when Love and Care was grooming her. They did a really good job of giving us what we asked for in terms of hair length and overall shape. Eventually, we ended up going with another groomer for a couple reasons. First, mobile grooming is more expensive than regular grooming. I mean, of course it would be - they're coming to your home and have to have everything on board. Second, and this is the biggest reason, is that the last time we had our girl groomed, it was a warm day and she came back to us so overheated and panting so rapidly that I was concerned for her health. I'm not sure whether or not the van was air conditioned, but her physical reaction was disproportionate to any anxiety she would have had getting groomed, especially after having had it done by the same person multiple times. Because I'd read about a dog dying from overheating in a van with another groomer (not Love and Care!), I was really on high alert and concerned, so I made the decision to take her to a groomer with a shop that I know is air conditioned during the summertime from that point forward. This was my own anxiety and I'm not saying Love and Care did anything wrong, just that I didn't want to risk it. If I ever needed a mobile groomer again, this would likely be the first one I would call, I would just need to make sure it was a cool day before attempting that again. One minor quibble, and I'm guessing that it's not something that happens often, but we had them come once and ask to use our power. Not only our power, but they needed our extension cord. It wasn't all that convenient for me to stop what I was doing, find our extension cord and run it out to the van, and when you're having a mobile groomer come out, convenience is basically the whole reason to pay extra. And although it probably didn't amount to much in electricity costs to us, it was certainly not 0, and we were still expected to pay the full amount when they arrived unprepared and not properly equipped to do the job. I could have just as easily said no, or could have not had an extension cord able to reach, and it would've been a wasted appointment slot. It wasn't egregious enough to dock a star, but it's something to keep in mind if you elect to go with this company.

We love Wallyson and Love and Care!…read more Our dog Nitro reflects his name...he's an explosion waiting to happen! Watching Wallyson groom him is a sight to see! He even allows him to clean inside his ears without a growl or an attempted bite. If we tried that, we might lose a finger. But not with Wallyson! And he always comes back to us looking and smelling great! We highly recommend Love and Care and Wallyson for your pup's grooming needs.

I had been with the same groomer for six years, so when I unexpectedly needed to make a change for…read moremy three dogs, I was stressed out of my mind. They're not the easiest group--one of my older girls has arthritis and can't stand for long, another has IVDD, and my third has pretty severe anxiety. Finding a mobile groomer who would be the same person every time, understand their specific needs, and have the skill to execute the right cuts felt impossible. After a lot of research, I found Viktoria. I read through her reviews, watched her videos, and decided to reach out. She responded right away and was able to come the very next day, which was a huge relief. From the moment she arrived, I knew I had made the right decision. She really listened to all of my concerns and took the time to understand each dog's limitations and personality. She adapted her approach for each of them--handling my arthritic dog with extra care, being mindful and gentle with my IVDD pup, and creating such a calm environment that even my anxious one felt at ease. What really meant a lot was that she sent photos and videos throughout the grooming process. Seeing all three of my girls relaxed and my tiniest one actually falling asleep during her groom--completely reassured me that they were safe and comfortable. And the results were beautiful. The cuts were exactly what I wanted--if not better than what we had before. I feel incredibly grateful to have found Viktoria. She is patient, skilled, communicative, and genuinely cares. If you have dogs that need a little extra attention or you're just looking for a truly exceptional mobile groomer, I can't recommend her enough.

That led to trying out the daycare and then also having them give her baths. She LOVES the staff and her play days. Her tail wags whenever she sees Melissa (owner) and when I pick her up I have to convince her to get in the car-she hates to leave them!! We could never get her in the car before but now she knows she's going to Muttley's and she jumps right in!! Melissa is super flexible and so kind-when I was injured she even volunteered to pick our dog up and take her to daycare since I couldn't drive....so above and beyond what she needed to offer!

Marco accidentally cut my puppy while grooming her and didn't take responsibility for doing that…read more Andrea the manager called me after a day (!) to shake responsibility and say that this cut was there before. But at the same time she said that they will pay for the visit at the vet (if the cut was not Marco's fault why would you pay for the vet visit?). I was furious when I saw that. I sent images to my vet and she was concerned about the depth of the cut (she said it's definitely looked like a cut made by grooming!) and that we should make sure it's not infected. My puppy tried to lick the area and we had to put her on an Elizabeth cone for two weeks. It took long time to heal. I was a loyal and happy couture using their services with my previous dog for over 14 years. The fact that it took the manager Andrea a day to call me and check on my dog only to say that the cut was there and not to take ownership for it- lost me. I will have to look for a new place!!!

Now that he's older -- deaf, blind, cranky, and a bit more challenging to groom -- Nelson has never once complained or turned us away. Over the years, our dog's haircut has transitioned from a fluffy teddy bear face to a short, easy-maintenance style, and we've always been happy with the care and service provided. Communication is easy and straightforward. At drop-off, I usually remind Nelson about the specific areas that need extra attention, and he always gets the job done. Pricing is also very reasonable, especially compared to other groomers in the Millbrae/Burlingame area. Scheduling appointments by text is super convenient, and I especially appreciate the grooming and nail trim reminders since life gets busy. Turnaround time is quick too -- grooming is typically completed within 2-3 hours. I can't recommend Nelson more for your dog grooming needs! He's been caring for our dog for over a decade, and we truly appreciate the patience, reliability, and kindness he's consistently shown throughout every stage of our dog's life.
