    Been taking my pups to Ashley since they were little. Ashley gave our new pup his first bath and cut. He always comes back smelling so amazing and gets sooooo excited once we pull up because he knows he is going to get to hang out with all the other doggos. I look forward to bringing him here knowing that he is not locked up in a cage, instead, he gets to roam around and have fun and come home smelling fresh while getting some socialization!

    Ive been going to Ashley for a couple of years now and my pup always looks so stinking cute with the bandanna she puts on him! I love that my dog can socialize with other dogs for a couple of hours and she always calls to let me know when she's done with my pup Milo. Ashley has always been puntual, has a good work ethic and is easy to get in contact with, i recommend her to anyone that is looking for a reliable, experienced groomer

    this is my Yorkie after the grooming

    The worst experience ever!!! After leaving detailed directions regarding my dog grooming including the picture, I was shocked to pick my dog looking so different I couldn't recognize my 2 yr old yorkie!!!!!Stay away!!! Also dogs are kept running around not leashed... Wow!!!

    My 2 toy poodles have been going to Ashley for several years now. She is knowledgeable on the various poodle hair cuts and cuts their hair to the style I want.. .She doesn't just shave them down. Ashley gets to know each dogs personality and how to make the grooming a happy experience for them. I highly recommend Ashley as a super talented, caring dog groomer in an easy access location.- Susan V.

    Not a doodle cut..

    So so for us. I've booked our dog for a short doodle cut and he came out with a shave down all over. No doodle style, now he basically looks like a poodle. It comes handy with the heat but I'm not very happy. His hair will grow...

    First time grooming here.They did a great job with my doggy cutting, I highly recommend this place.

    Pocket of blood collected (hematoma) under her eye from probable blunt trauma during her grooming.
    Bianca P.

    Our dog got a subconjunctival hemorrhage and hematoma (blood collection/bruise) of her right eye from here. Never bringing them back. Vet said it's usually from BLUNT TRAUMA to the eye or sometimes a tight choker can cause a blood vessel in the eye to burst :(. Luckily vet told us it was superficial and no deeper structures of her eye were damaged. The worst part is, no one called us and notified us. The groomer just mentioned it casually when i picked her up. " oh we noticed her right eye is red" , like it was a conjunctivitis or something that didn't happen there. But when I saw her eye I knew what it was and it happened there. I know accidents happen and I'm sure (hope?) that there was no attentional abuse. But be honest to your clients, admit if something went wrong, notify us immediately. Eye stuff can be time sensitive, potentially permanently damaging had it been a serious injury. We took her to the vet immediately, 150 bucks later, she's ok, but the trust is gone. Sad we will have to look for another groomer. We liked it there, they did a good job with the cuts and I liked that my dog can roam around. But not worth the risk .

    Great groomers! We've been going to A Cut Above in Castro Valley for years, and we are so grateful…read morethat they have opened a San Mateo location. They provide a first class experience for their clients. The owners are Master Groomers with awards and credentials to back it up. They can do everything from hand cut precision grooming to custom coloring. Spend a little time online and look up the owners Nathan and Katie. They have lots of information online about grooming.

    Like the previous review A Cut Above is truly A Cut Above!…read more Nathan the owner, has worked hard to become a Certified Master Groomer, Instructor and now Judge. I could go on and on about Nathan and how great he and grooming team are, we are huge fans of his shop "A Cut Above" in Castro Valley. He grooms both of our Standard Poodles, they get so excited when we ask them if they "want to go see Nathan!" We call it a Spa day! I'll be brief - if you want to get to know Nathan Austin I encourage you to Google him. He and his staff have a large following on social media. Never mind Googling, the story below pretty much says it all, except now he is a member of Team USA. https://digital.groomertogroomer.com/issue/may-2024/the-unstoppable-nathan-austin/ As a small business owner, Nathan treats his staff well, like family, and encourages them to continue learning all about dog grooming. He and his groomers take time to get to know and love "their" dogs. I can't tell you how many years we have been taking our dogs (who are pets, not show dogs) from San Mateo to Castro Valley to be groomed. It was definitely worth the trip, but we are excited about him opening up a shop in San Mateo! I hope you will give Nathan and his staff the opportunity of grooming your dogs as well. It's truly a win win for all!

Our mini golden doodle has been going to Vicki's for 4 yrs and it's the best decision we ever made for him. He can't wait to see his doggy & wrangler friends every week and the ranch is a doggy heaven. A few standout things to note: *Vicki and the wranglers are extremely professional and are true dog lovers. *The pickup and drop-off service is really convenient, especially if you have an early start at work or need to go into the office. Our dog absolutely LOVES pickup and drop-off. He sits by the window waiting for the van to pull in and then is overjoyed when the wrangler comes to the door. *Our mini golden doodle always (and I mean always) comes home happy and tired. The ranch provides a space for our dog to run around and socialize to his fullest. *Quick communication and easy tools to schedule & message. Whenever we have a change in plans or need to drop a quick note, Vicki's team are quick to respond and always look to provide solutions or collaborate. * A special extra thing they do is celebrate birthdays and holidays. The pictures are SO cute and the dogs all genuinely seem happy when they celebrate.

    We LOVE Rascal Ranch. It is the absolute best dog day care in existence…read more First, I love that they pick up and drop off from our home. The convenience factor of Rascal Ranch is very high. I get our pup dressed in her harness in the morning, and she's picked up between 9am - 11am dependent on the day's schedule. Second, they put a huge emphasis on safety which provides great peace of mind during the day. Third, our crazy, rambunctious Vizsla is actually tired when she gets home every day. It's usually enough tiredness to carry her through the weekend after a full day of ranching. Vicki and her team are incredibly professional, the pick up/drop off is seamless, and they're very helpful if I ever need to cancel or recheck Lena ranch day. Plus, I get adorable pictures of Cinnamon and her friends uploaded to a Google photos album every few days!

    Love and Care Mobile Grooming - I had a spa day!!

    Love and Care Mobile Grooming

    (60 reviews)

    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.

    The driver that was driving the mobile grooming van from this company was rude and driving…read moredangerously. I'm not sure about their services, but I would question their good judgment.
