I had such a great experience at Pawessentials with Emily grooming my golden doodle, Teddy The salon itself was very clean, organized, and welcoming, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Teddy in their care. Emily did an amazing job with his haircut & she really took her time and paid attention to every detail. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Teddy is currently in the process of healing from a skin infection, and Emily made the entire grooming process so easy and comfortable for him. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and thorough, and I truly appreciated how mindful she was of his condition. I also loved how she didn't rush and made sure everything was done right. Teddy came out looking absolutely perfect! Sooo soft, fluffy, and so well-shaped! It's not easy to find a groomer you can fully trust, but Emily definitely earned that trust. Teddy was so happy and calm after, which says everything. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Pawessentials and Emily if you want your pup treated with love and leave looking their best! read more

If you're looking for a grooming service that truly treats your pet like family, Pawssential Grooming is hands-down one of the best in the area. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt clean, calming, and professional -- which immediately put both me and my dog at ease. The staff is knowledgeable and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, from coat length to overall styling. My dog is older and has mild arthritis, but Emily handled her with so much patience, care, and awareness. You can tell she really understands how to work with senior dogs -- she's gentle, attentive, and made sure she was comfortable throughout the entire process. That level of care gives me so much peace of mind. On top of that, she had great attention to detail; my dog came back looking perfectly groomed--coat evenly trimmed, paws cleaned up, ears spotless--and still smelled fresh days later. You can tell they use high-quality products and take pride in their work. Another huge plus: - Gentle handling (great for anxious or older dogs) - Consistent results every visit - Clear communication and updates It's rare to find a groomer that balances skill, care, and reliability, Emily at Pawssential Grooming does exactly that. Highly recommend Pawssential Grooming if you want your dog looking amazing while feeling comfortable and cared for. read more

I just love this place! As a human, it feels so zen to walk through the front door. Elena and Emily did a great job! The only downside with that place is, I requested them to cut my hair and they said they don't do humans‍ See ya in a few weeks! Aloha, Cannen read more

I want to gate-keep but I can't not leave a raving review. Finding a dog groomer is just like finding any other service provider--once you find a great one, you don't want to lose them. That's exactly the case with Elena. She does an outstanding job with our dog and is truly a master of her craft. After going through at least 10 different groomers in the Bay Area over the past 8 years, I hadn't found anyone who consistently impressed me or delivered reliable cuts for my pup. Not to say there weren't good groomers--but they were good, not great. I'm excited that Elena has opened her own business, and our first visit there was nothing short of a warm and excellent experience. She provided an estimated pickup time, and her estimate was very accurate, which saved me the stress of figuring out when to pick up my dog and planning my day around it. While the grooming area is behind a wall in a separate room, I appreciate that the door was left open so you could see or peek in on what was going on. It also provides a sense comfort to see that your dog isn't just going into a "black box". The service was excellent per usual, and because we're a repeat customer, Elena already knew exactly what kind of cut I wanted and had it noted, making the entire experience seamless. She also sends photos after they cut that are great, and always gives a little flair to finish off the groom. That extra touch means everything. I highly recommend this business! read more

My Goldendoodle has been going to Elena for almost two years (we follow her wherever she goes) and I truly would not trust my dog with anyone else! Elena, the owner of Pawessentials, is absolutely amazing. She is so kind, patient, and gentle with my dog, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Elena is also an expert with Goldendoodles, which makes such a difference. She really understands their coats and always does an incredible job. My dog absolutely adores her and is always excited to see her, which says so much. The new grooming location is wonderful too--super clean, welcoming, and clearly a place where pets are cared for with love. We always leave happy, and my dog looks and smells amazing every time! I highly recommend Elena and Pawessentials to anyone looking for a caring, talented groomer. read more

We've been following Elena for about 3 years now across three different locations, and we're so excited that she finally has her own shop! The lobby is always clean, fresh, and welcoming, which already sets a great tone when you walk in. Our dog Bear always comes home happy and looking adorable with a cute accessory. But what really makes Elena special is the way she works with dogs. Bear is very timid and anxious and does not like strangers. In the past, we could immediately tell when he didn't like a groomer because he would refuse to go to them, which makes it incredibly hard to trust someone enough to leave your dog with them. Elena is the first and only groomer that Bear is actually willing to go to, and his anxiety shaking has decreased dramatically--especially since she opened her new shop. That alone says so much about the care, patience, and love she puts into her work. She clearly builds real trust and bonds with the dogs she grooms. Bear's haircuts are always consistent, his tail is perfectly fluffed, and his nails are nicely filed. Elena communicates clearly throughout the appointment and lets you know exactly when to come back and pick up your pup. She's responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. Finding someone you trust with your dog is everything, and Elena has absolutely earned that trust with us. Any dog that gets groomed by her is incredibly lucky. read more

They really pay attention to detail and make sure he looks perfect before he leaves he comes home with a cute scarf :) Elena is so patient and understanding with what Lucky needs. Lucky is not fond of anyone touching his paws, but the she totally gets it and somehow manages to get it right every time. I highly recommend coming here. We wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Teddy always comes back looking adorable, clean, and perfectly groomed every single time. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and takes pride in what she does.

Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a groomer who is talented, patient, and caring! read more

We brought our two dogs, Toffee and Coca, to Pawssentials for a bath and nail trim and were very happy with the experience. The staff was patient, gentle, and professional, and it was clear the dogs were treated with genuine care. Coca is usually very fearful in new environments, so I was a bit nervous beforehand. She did really well there, which truly says a lot about how calm and reassuring the team is. Both dogs came back clean, soft, and smelling great, their nails nicely trimmed, and most importantly relaxed and happy. We really appreciated the personal attention and the positive atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Pawssentials to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring grooming place. read more

Mr. Juno went for his first groom at Pawssentials today (so overdue!) and he came back looking great. He looks shiny, lighter, and SO MUCH hair is gone. We used to go to Rachel's and loved going there, but eventually was told Juno was too big and were left looking for a new place to take him every few months to supplement at home baths and brushing. I am so happy to find a new place that has good prices, does good work, and has friendly staff. Bonus points for the booking system being online and easy to use! Check them out. read more

New customer here! I took my 9-year-old mini Australian Shepherd to Elena for a bath and grooming, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I was a little nervous at first because he tore his cruciate ligament two years ago and hasn't been to a dog groomer since then. Even though he's recovered, I'm always extra careful about where I take him and how he's handled. Elena immediately put me at ease. She was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra care. Chase went in his usual hyper, happy self--and he came out exactly the same way: energetic, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with the whole experience. Though I was told he protested with songs in the bath :) And the groom itself was fantastic. His coat looked clean, soft, and beautifully done. He smelled great and looked like a brand-new dog. She clearly took her time which I appreciate. The price is reasonable and I plan to come back. It's such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pet, especially when they have a history of injury. I forgot the name of the other lady that we met at check out, but she was friendly and hooked us up with a new customer goodie bag. I also want to note that I appreciate during hand off and pick up that there wasn't a waiting room with a bunch of dogs in the lobby--it felt like a personal experience and saved me the anxiety of my dog engaging in a bark off with other dogs! Highly recommend! Thanks for taking the time! read more

He absolutely loves her, and she treats him with a lot of care and patience. Kona usually has itchy, sensitive skin, but he never has issues after his appointments with her, which says a lot. You can tell she's experienced and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I wouldn't take him anywhere else! read more

Emily worked wonders for my cat Luna! I was nervous at first because she can be a pretty feisty girl but she had zero problems with Emily. Luna came out with freshly cut nails, a nice smelling coat of fur, and most importantly a happy mood. The customer service was excellent and they give you a heads up when the service is almost done. I highly recommend coming to Pawssentials and bringing your cat to Emily. It is easy to tell that everyone who works here cares about your pets and knows how to treat them well. read more

My friend told us about pawssentials and ever since then we absolutely love coming here. Emily works on my puppy Boba and it's been such a great experience. At first I wasn't sure how it would go because Boba gets anxious during baths/hair dryer/nail trimming at home and it was so difficult to do for me. But after coming to Pawssentials, Boba comes home super soft and looks so good! Emily says Boba does well so I love that she makes it a positive experience for her. I also love that they inform you throughout the process if they find anything that needs some attention like de-matting, etc. Emily also is just so kind and I feel like she truly cares for your pet and doesn't rush the process. Overall, definitely would recommend to others! read more

I came here a couple weeks ago with my boyfriend and our fur babies to treat them to a spa day. My boyfriend booked an appointment for nail trims, ear cleaning and teeth cleaning. We were greeted upon entering with friendly and warm smiles from Cindy and Elena. They took our fur babies one at a time, which was nice and it gave us time to walk our other babies around the plaza and look around. Each appointment for the babies didn't take too long and they all came out looking refreshed and clean. We were worried about our shiba, Roku, because he has white coat syndrome, but he did really well with Cindy and Elena! I was shocked they were able to handle him because when we go anywhere groomers or vet related, my boyfriend and I always end up having to step inside the room or we get asked to put a muzzle on him. Great service here especially if you have dogs with dark colored nails like our pitty, Kirin, they were able to trim her nails down short. We do it at home, but always stop because we're scared to cut her from trimming down too short. Our oldest pitty, Lexi, enjoyed her spa trip the most. All of their ears, teeth and nails looked amazing and cleaner. We'll be back here on their birthdays to treat them to a refreshing and relaxing spa day. :) read more

I drive my senior dog 1hr 20 min so she can get groomed by Elena. That should hopefully paint a picture of how good Elena is at her craft!

We stumbled upon Pawssentials when they first opened and were looking for another groomer since we had a situation with his last groomer that left us feeling uneasy.

Thank you Elena for another great grooming job on Buster! We have had several groomers over the years, but none as patient and compassionate as Elena is with Buster! We have followed her every time she has moved and were so happy when we found her once again at Pawssentials! Buster is now 15 and is no longer able to stand for long periods of time, but Elena is still willing to groom him and did a fantastic job! Not too many groomers are willing to do this (I know because several years ago my other dog was turned away by multiple groomers when she had kidney disease and had troubled standing). Thank you so much Elena, you are the best! read more
