Booked an appointment and he never showed up. Left a voicemail and texted but never got a response.

He does not respond. He groomed my dog twice, with very bad communication, then completely disappeared. Would not recommend.

Unfortunately, our first experience with Ivan was a complete bust. On the referral from someone, we booked a 9am Sat morning appt. On Thu before, I rec'd a confirmation text (with a reply Y" to confirm), which we did. Saturday came and we never saw him. Sent 2 texts and left a voice message, and now 3 days later, no reply of any sort from Ivan to explain the reason. I would not recommend this company based on this poor experience. read more

I've tried contacting Ivan with no luck. Is he not in business anymore or not accepting new clients? I have no idea, but it has been a week with out a response. A simple response of no appointments available, been occupied, or something; but nope. Just left lonely in the dark. - - - - - - - - - - - - 12 minutes after posting the review, he then responds back to my text. See photos and time stamp stated. read more

My dogs (2-multipoo, 1-terrier mix) love Ivan. He has been grooming the multipoo since they were babies. The terrier many years at a grooming place. Now we do Mobil so convenient. No hassle to get in car, other dogs barking, music blaring, people screaming and are they done ???yet?? One at a time, no hassles in like a messy kid then back inside house ready to be the blue ribbon show dog. read more

For the first time he showed up (though late), the dog's haircut was amazing. I had a second appointment today that was confirmed and he never showed. I waited 20 minutes for a heads up on being late but nothing. I texted, no response. If you can get him to come out, he's an amazing groomer. Bad at communication and I will not be using him again. Best of luck! read more

If you value your time DO NOT USE Ivan Grooms. We used him half a dozen times and he was never once on time. He was always hours late and the last time he just never showed up (didn't even let use know, just ghosted) so we found someone else. He always had an excuse of why he's late even though we'd schedule him early in the morning (first appointment). If he showed up by noon, we were lucky. Text messages hardly answered, never apologetic for why he's late, runs his business like whatever and treats his clients like he doesn't care. Do yourself a favor and GO ELSEWHERE. read more

Ivan is amazing. I tried to cut my own dog's hair and um, let's just say that was a mistake. Desperately started calling around to see who could take my poor boy in, and Ivan was incredibly friendly and said he could drive over to my apartment complex the next morning. When he arrived, my puppy jumped into Ivan's arms happily. I got 1.5 hours to myself to clean the house and when I ran back out to get Sammy, he was a transformed puppy! Ivan did so well. I am so happy with the service and will absolutely be coming back. Convenient, clean, and great work! read more

Ivan has been grooming our pups since we brought them home. He does exactly what we ask for (doodle cut) and always leaves them looking soooooo cute! Our dogs LOVE him as well. He is so gentle with them. That honestly is the best part for us. Knowing our pups are in good, gentle, loving hands. Thank you Ivan! We love you! read more

Ivan has been grooming our 50lb standard golden doodle for 9 months now, and we really love his work! Our dog is always so excited to see him, and to us, that's a sign that it's always a positive experience. Ivan is super skilled at making doodles look their best -- it's a tricky cut! When we get our dog back, he always looks great and smells wonderful. Never have had a bad experience! I see a few negative reviews below, and want to come to Ivan's defense here. First of all, he is very clear on his website and instagram that he is currently not taking new clients for 2021. That's okay, keep an eye out for 2022! Ivan is a one-man-show, so yes, sometimes he is running behind schedule. But he always communicates...and for goodness sakes, he shows up at your house! What more can you ask for? We plan our cuts in advance, and Ivan is always flexible if we need to make changes. We're really grateful to have found Ivan. He is a super dog groomer and really nice person. read more

This isn't a most recent review but I've had Ivan groom my golden doodle before and as you can see from the photos he doesn't disappoint. I didn't dare to take him for a stroll along Burlingame Ave after as I would've of been stopped a million times because it's that darn cute. The price is very reasonable and he uses all the quality grooming products so I was really surprised to see how much pride he took into his work. Following him on Instagram gave me a better glimpse at how professional he is and it gave me confidence that this is my lifelong groomer and I can tell he has many clients that feel the same way because now he is completely booked for months. I appreciate how he is now able to travel to your location it just takes the stress out of the whole situation. Thank Ivan for sharing your art of grooming! read more

By far one of the best groomers in the Bay Area. My puppy has never felt so comfortable around someone as much as he does around Ivan. As a dog owner this makes me so happy. This mobile dog groomer is so convenient, Ivan parked his van right outside and I was able to clean my house while my dog got groomed. If I could rate him 10 stars I would! Book with him immediately! read more

We've been going to Ivan for a good year now, and we're happy to hear that he's gone mobile! Very convenient! He always does such a tremendous job with our sweet Tobi.

If you have a preference in the type of cut you'd like for your dog, Ivan listens and follows through! We've been to many dog groomers and no one understands us better than Ivan! Best dog groomer in the Bay Area! read more

Ivan is a warm, caring person who is so sweet and gentle with my poodle. My dog has come back from other mobile groomers with scratches and terrified. He walks right into Ivan's van and is happy when he is finished. I simply cannot recommend Ivan highly enough. I wish that all groomers cared as much as he does about the dogs. read more

Ivan is great. My maltese Willis was in dire need of a grooming. Ivan did an amazing job. Willis does not like his legs groomed or nails trimmed but he was so at ease in Ivan's van that it wasn't a problem. I was actually shocked how well his nails came out. Very impressed with Ivan. I've definitely found my new groomer. read more

Phew! Getting your puppy into the groomers during a pandemic is super hard now but Ivan was able to make a same-day appointment for just a nail/paw pad trimming (which a lot of locations have stopped doing all together). My goldendoodle was happy to see him and happy when finished. read more

Ivan is very friendly, his van his so beautiful, nice and clean inside/out. Ivan called us on his way over to keep us posted on his arrival time. Zoey our Bichon looked so gorgeous, and was happy feeling nice and clean, when with her bath and brush out. Highly recommend Ivan, and his services. read more

Our dog's first grooming appt. was good.......she was clean and Ivan cut her hair pretty close to the photo I gave him. However, Ivan never returned my call to schedule a 2nd appt., and I left two msgs. for him this week. Ivan, you lost a customer. read more

Ivan is a skilled, gentle and thorough groomer. We appreciate his attention to detail and helpful suggestions. We have a happy, clean senior dog!!! Ivan is the best!!! read more

I been going to Ivan for several years now. He always did a beautiful job on my little Maltese, Barkley. Unfortunately, Barkley passed last summer. I recently adopted a 2 year old Labradoodle. Laci was in desperate need of grooming. She was long & matted. Ivan did what he called a "restart". Her hair was cut short so that we could start from scratch. She was a completely different looking dog when Ivan finished. He is truly amazing at what he does. So happy that he is now mobile. It's so convenient. Love that I don't have to deal with traffic to drop off & pick up. Book an appointment. You won't be disappointed. read more
