We love bringing our doggos here! Quick, easy, and convenient :) they also do a wonderful job with Nismo (he's a little snippy). Also, gave us a free little red bow in honor of lunar new year. Check out our handsome little fella in the pic below. read more

Quick, efficient and my lil ol man dog (who does NOT like getting his nails trimmed) was super happy! Highly recommend!

Love how super convenient it is! You text them to make an appointment. You drive to the location and they open your car door to let your pooch out. After, they gently let them back into your car. I never had to even get out of the car. Very good with my XL pit mix. I can tell she likes them as she never whines and comes out happy. read more

I had my first appointment on Friday for my little ladies nail trim. She is so good when I bathe her but cutting her nails has always been such a challenge. I was so happy to find Nick and his wife. They were able to cut her nails in less than 5 mins. I definitely will be coming here from now on. read more

Look no further....the whole process went smooth and fast ....think we were there all of 5 minutes for my large dog which I thought would be a bit longer since he can be difficult when getting his nails trimmed. Parking was very easy as well ...glad we found these folks Highly recommend read more

I had a great experience with Nails and Tails. I dropped my pup off and 45 minutes later she was washed and her nails were cut. They were fast, it didn't take too long to get an appointment and my dog was happy when I picked her up. I have recommended this business to several friends and they have also been pleased. read more

Nick and Kara are fantastic. Honestly can't believe how great my two corgis looked after a bath, groom and nail trim. They were done in 45 minutes and the price was so reasonable! So convenient to drop off at their house too, and never an issue to schedule. I recommend them to everyone. read more

I feel lucky to have found Nick and Kara at Nails and Tails grooming. I have a rescue doodle puppy and his hair is so pretty, but getting quite long, and I wanted to find a better way to keep it out of his eyes. I did not want him to lose all his soft puppy hair. nor come out looking or smelling like a foofy powdered poodle. I liked what they said about themselves and their grooming style on the website and their before and after pictures. They did a great job of just cutting what really needed to be cut, and smoothing and cleaning his coat. He can actually see now! My vet is happy about that too. Thanks Nick and Kara! We will be back. read more

If you have a pup who hates nail trims, LOOK NO FURTHER. Honestly, as a busy dog mom, this has been a serious weight off my shoulders. Belly is my 2-year old staffy rescue, and she absolutely despises getting her nails trimmed. We've taken her to Petco, PetSmart, a private groomer and even our own family vet, and NO ONE has been able to successfully cut her nails. She fights people off (the vet had 3 grown men on her) and uses her 65 lb. sausage body to wriggle out of everyone's grip. She also has dark nails, making it almost impossible to see her quick as she's pulling her paws away. I found Nicholas on Yelp, texted him out of desperation & told him about Belly's situation. He responded quickly and was able to see us within 2 days. Within 10 minutes, Belly was done, ALL her nails trimmed, and we've officially found our consistent groomer. I was SHOCKED. Thank you SO MUCH Nails & Tails for your professionalism, enthusiasm, and willingness to take in my girl. We'll definitely see you again! read more

110 stellar reviews! All 5 star! How could I resist? Nick and Kara are the best groomers anyone could pray for. I am so grateful to Yelp for finding them. I took my son's blind and older golden doodle to them for the first time and will never go elsewhere. Wonderful summer cut and she looks glorious. So happy! read more

I was so happy to find them, my groomer was no longer available and my pup can be a bit challenging to work with. They did a beautiful job, he wasn't stressed and I look forward to his next visit there. read more

Nails and Tails - Happy Havanese - Pet Groomers Near Me

Nick and Kara are husband wife team, who have been taking care of my dogs for years. The cuts are very good, excellent in fact, nails, ears glands, all taken care of. You dropped your dog at the back gate, and pick your dog back up there. Completely seamless. And also fairly priced. read more

Great service and they don't make you leave your dog for hours like many groomers do. It's wonderful to have your pet groomed at a specific time, and be ready at the time promised. My dog got a really nice cut and a bowtie too! read more

I love this couple! I have a dog that is very frightened and they are so kind and gentle with her. . Plus, she comes back looking amazing! read more

Nails and Tails - My boy Bailey. - Pet Groomers Near Me

Nick is a great guy. Very experienced and caring He is the only person we trust to trim our nervous puppy's nails. read more

We feel so lucky to have found Nails and Tails! It's always easy to schedule an appointment and I can usually get in quickly for the services I need for my dog. Nick is great with our anxious, reactive rescue and it's so nice to go to his home where he's not in a vet environment or at a busy groomer's shop. Nick is super easygoing, kind, and calm and is great with our dog and makes it as stress-free as possible. It's so refreshing to work with professionals who understand your dog and their needs and can make it a positive experience. Also, services are VERY reasonably priced compared to other places we've been and they do a great job every time. I'd recommend Nails and Tails to anyone. Thank you!! read more

The Jacuzzis are friendly, convenient, and great at what they do. Best place to bring your pups for a variety of services on the Island.

The booking process was quick and I love when I can schedule things via email. Rebecca (I'm pretty sure that was her name ) showed up and groomed our long haired cat. She was professional and did a great job. She setup in my bathroom and offered to either have me stay or she could do it without me in the room. I opted to stay and it was nice to be involved and help keep my cat at ease. I've only had my cat groomed one other place, and we had to bring her there. I loved being able to have Holden be in her own environment, I could tell it was much less stressful for her. Rebecca did a great job of being gentle and giving off calm vibes. I highly recommend Rebecca and will be booking with her again when Holden needs it! read more

Love this place. They have been grooming my dog for the last 6ish months and each time he comes out looking fabulous! They always give him exactly the cut I ask for. Nick and Kara are super great at communication via email (which is a big plus!) and it is one of the fastest groomers I have ever been to. They're usually done within the hour and it never looks rushed. Sooo easy to get him groomed during my work from home day. They are also taking covid-19 precautions. I would totally recommend this spot for all Alameda pups! read more

Nails and Tails - A few days after his Christmas visit to Nails N Tails - Pet Groomers Near Me

For our anxious, shy dog, Nick and Kara are hands-down the best groomers we have ever worked with. They did in-home grooming for our rescue poodle/terrier mix for four years until we had to move out of the Bay Area. They were endlessly patient with him, and his haircut always looked wonderful - but more importantly they were experts at handling him and, from my understanding, other tricky dogs. They are also both really nice people. Thank you both for being such a wonderful presence in Luke's life! read more

Excellent husband and wife team trim my 19-lb dog's nails in a comforting and quick way. Other dog groomers required 4 people to hold him down. read more

They provided good and quick nail trimming for our cat. but based on their website we thought the price was $25 but it turned out to be $35. They were also late to the appointment but they did give us a heads up. Otherwise there wasn't much communication. read more

I'd give Nick ten stars if I could! Our little guy is a bit spicy when it comes to people handling his feet/nails but he loves going to see Nick every month. He always does a great job, has super flexible openings which is awesome for people working a 9-5. and there's plentiful parking right outside, we've been going for around 2 years once and a month and always been able to snag a great spot. read more

I reached to Nick and Kara when we brought our new puppy home. I had heard horror stories about how hard it was to get in to see a groomer and how I would be waiting for months - Not So! Nick was able to get me in within a week and then when I needed to reschedule he was nice enough to fit me in the following week. Even after I was running late Nick greeted me at his gate and was delightful. He took my puppy straight back and told me to be back in 30 min and when I came back she was so happy and calm in addition to being clean with much shorter nails. I was so impressed with how easy communication was and extra points for being able to book or chat via email or text. I would highly recommend them for any of your grooming needs! read more

I am beyond thrilled to be a customer of Nails & Tails! My Lil pomeranian Alvin has a triple coat and daily brushing does not cut it!

As a disabled person this service has been so helpful to me and my dog (30 lb terrier mix) - it's so much more accessible for both of us to have a groomer come to our home. They are a bit tricky to schedule with sometimes, but once we set a time they show up and work fast and my pup always emerges fresh and clean and nicely groomed. read more

Nails and Tails - My dog Charlie, before and after a recent haircut from Nails and Tails :) - Pet Groomers Near Me

We love Nick and Kara. They come to the house and groom our dogs and cats in our bathroom quickly, expertly, and with no added stress. I'm amazed at how good they look, how happy they are and how quickly everyone's done. It's really the lowest stress environment you can get. My senior Yorkie was so difficult to groom, yet they treated him with respect and just did what they could so he'd be comfortable and clean. I didn't trust anyone else with him. Our cats are in and out in 10 minutes for nail trims, drama- free. They are always on time, and clean up afterwards like they've never been there. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommend! read more

Rebecca is fabulous! She is so professional, and she clearly knows what she's doing with the animals. She used to work in a vet hospital for over 10 years and she just has an incredible knowledge of animals and great rapport with animals as well. She does a fabulous job washing them and clipping her toenails and she is just a wonderful person! read more

My fiance & I recently moved to Alameda a couple months ago and we were on the search for a new groomer for our dog, Lucy. After reading a bunch of reviews, we decided to go with Nails & Tails because of the sheer convenience of them coming to your house! Nails & Tails brought all the necessary tools to give Lucy a bath & a haircut. What's great is that they worked with whatever space you had and in our case they used our bathroom. They were very gentle with Lucy and made her feel comfortable. I think her being at home definitely helped. They also did a great job in cleaning after themselves. You wouldn't have guessed that someone was just in your house cutting your dogs hair! They were in & out in about an hour which is great! Highly recommend! read more

Love these guys! My long haired Maine Coon just prances around after a quick visit from them or Rebecca! He can stay home and and within 20 minutes looks great! Always on time and really show care for all my animals! read more

I came upon the reviews for Nails and Tails, and decided to give them a try. My cat Christabelle, was in DIRE need of a haircut, as well as needed an ingrown nail treated. Kara and Nick were right on time. Christabelle is usually horrible when it comes to grooming and I have received more than my share of stripes in my lame attempts to keep her long coat brushed and thinned out. However, Nick and Kara handled her extremely well and she was actually very good during her lion cut and nail trim (though she is punishing me now). They also trimmed my 13 year old Snowshoe's nails and did it without a battle (also highly unusual). The cost was more than reasonable, especially for an in-home visit and much less stressful for the cats. I will definitely use Nick and Kara again! I highly recommend them. read more

We absolutely love this groomer! Each person takes the time and gentleness to groom my old Lucy. Nails and Tails truly loves their furry clients! They do a beautiful job on my old girl, who weebles and wobbles. read more

Super responsive via email Prompt & timely arrival Kind & patient Fast, quality work (I felt like my vet's office never quite cut his nails all the way that they could, but these guys nailed it-no pun intended) My dog looked super at ease Now that I'm currently 8 mos pregnant and have an 18 mo old toddler, I will absolutely be calling on these guys to do nail trim house calls from here on out! read more

Kara and Nick provide such a great service! They left, not too long ago, after cutting both of my cats' nails. They arrived a few minutes before my appointment and they were both really friendly. My cats have only had their nails cut a couple of times and get stressed out when I have had to take them to get groomed. Kara and Nick handled both of my cats very well and were very quick. I will definitely keep using their services! read more

First time requesting Nails and Tails, Rebecca came to my house and groomed my old cat...the service was great. I gave her good tip for her wonderful work..but in the second visit when she came with another colleague from nails and tails...the Service was terrible... My cat was not fully groomed and many spots left uncut...when I asked Rebecca if she did the nails she replied yes..as usual I tipped her very well...but when I gave my cat a bath...i realized she didnt ...I felt cheated... :( read more

Super responsive (I emailed, and received a response right away, along with a confirmation once we scheduled). They were right on time (even a bit early, despite the rain!), and were super friendly, loving with our cat, understanding, informative, professional, and patient with my kids who wanted to tell them every detail of everything that has ever happened in their lives. Our cat was very comfortable with them, and was in a super happy, playful mood afterward. I also love their payment options, making it as easy as possible all around. We are beyond thrilled to have found Nails and Tails! No more traumatic attempts to groom at home, or car rides to the vet to tackle it, as our cat isn't a fan of car rides or waiting rooms full of doggies. We'll definitely be clients from now on. read more

Love love love this business! I've been using this grooming service for my dog ( Maltipoo) for about a year and they're work is wonderful and they're very dependable! My dog has had bad experiences getting his nails cut and Kara is very gentle. I never hear him cry and he comes to her when she calls so he must trust her. So do I! read more
