I really appreciate that there are no cages and that they only do what he feels comfortable with, which says a lot about how much they truly care. Their new location at the Barnyard is such a great move -- it's larger, roomier, and has easy parking, which makes everything so much more convenient. They even have cute dog jewelry, which is such a fun touch. They're also open on Saturdays, which is a huge plus. I truly would not recommend anyone else for pet grooming. Trish and her staff will take great care of you and your pet.

The trim is incredibly clean and balanced, and you can tell he takes pride in every detail. What impressed us just as much was how patient and gentle he was. Our dog came home looking great and completely relaxed, which says a lot. Santiago has been grooming for 35 years, and his experience really shows. We've already decided he'll be our groomer from now on and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about both the dogs and the quality of his work. Five stars.

She comes back super soft, completely mat-free, and smelling amazing every single time. She's long-haired and not the easiest to groom, so I really appreciate the care and skill Santiago and his team put into every visit. I recently started taking both of my dogs here as well. They're short-haired and pretty easy, but it's still such a relief knowing they're in good hands. Their nails are always perfectly trimmed, they come back clean, happy, and fresh, and the whole experience is consistently great. I love being able to drop all three off and know they're going to be well cared for. Amazing service, kind staff, and reliable every time. Highly recommend!

My…read morehusband and I have reached the age where washing and grooming the dogs ourselves is just too hard as we've developed disabilities and weakness as we've aged. They are very conveniently located for folks that live out in our area of Toro Park and San Benancio Canyon. Their prices are reasonable, and the staff is very professional and caring. They do a great job on defurring our dogs which really helps to limit the shedding here at home. They come home looking beautiful with their shiny red coats and they don't use any of those strong smelling fragrances on their coats after bathing. The dogs love going there and that speaks for itself. Highly recommend this business.

I was extremely worried for my dog's first professional grooming as he had a rough start in his life. I dropped him off with reassurance that he would be treated as a puppy and take things slow and kind of on his terms and what he allowed. His groomer Alyssa reported back that he did well and tolerated almost everything well. Not a huge fan of the nail trim, but dealt. I picked him up and he was roaming the shop with a fellow dog friend and had a doggie smile he was ready to go home but seemed content and not overly stressed. He looks great and smells clean and his lil haircut looks great. Definitely A+ for his groomer Alyssa and the environment! Alyssa and Cooper will be friends for years to come no doubt.

Shelly is hands down the very best groomer we have ever used. We have two English Setters and have…read moreused multiple groomers in the past in Carmel, Austin, and in Dallas. Shelley knows the proper haircut for the breed and knows how to achieve great results, even helping recover from bad haircuts from vet procedures or other groomers in our home state. Shelley takes her time, not rushing to complete the job with razors alone.. she will use scissors to achieve the right look and will comb out any mats I may have missed. The pups always look beautiful when Shelley is done. We first used Shelley when she was mobile which was great for us. She is not currently mobile but works out of her van at her home. It is not a brick and mortar store and not fancy. But because we want the best groom for our dogs, we go to her and happy to do so!

I've never done mobile grooming before and I wish I would of known about it sooner! Lynda is wonderful! She came right to our house, parked in our driveway, to do Greta's hair. I love that Greta was the only client and she was getting constant attention (which Greta loves too). Best part she was not shaking after the hair cut. I highly recommend Lynda, especially if your pet stresses over going to the groomer. Also, if you have an outdoor plug for Lynda to use, that will be handy. Otherwise she has an extention cord that will reach farther. Luckily it was long enough to go inside our garage.

I DO NOT recommend Picture Perfect groomers in Marina on Reservation Rd…read more First, I should have paid attention to my dog when she was very nervous to meet both Laura and Ben. She did not feel comfortable with them. Dogs can be a great judge of character. The front of the store is odd, doesn't look like a grooming business at all. Dirty, smelly, and unkept. You cannot see the very hidden grooming area. What are you hiding?! I asked for a trim, nails done, and bath. My dog was almost unrecognizable when I picked her up. No big deal, they said she needed a shorter cut. Although our regular groomer would have done the work and brushed out some tangles. Ben even said "it's not like we don't want to do the work" um ya it was exactly that. Laura was complaining about a man's dog barking the whole time it was there and then she proceeded to tell me who he used to date and that he looks bad now! I was shocked at her behavior! Is she intoxicated? What did she say about us when we left? My dog had an uneven neck trim like they forgot to do the other side, she had a shave line to the skin on her neck that is very obvious (looks like a slip of the clippers) most of the shave is uneven and blotchy, and still had knots behind her ears! I messaged Ben, no response. This morning I noticed one whole paw is not trimmed! I messaged him to cancel our other appointment for our other dog. DONE! Never again!

After reading the reviews about Picture Perfect and the owner Laura I felt it was necessary for me…read moreto leave a review as well. My family has known Laura since she first started with dog grooming around 1974 when she was on Del Monte Blvd in Marina. We trusted her wholeheartedly for many years with our dogs and she use to be amazing at what she did. Well nowadays my opinion on Laura and Picture Perfect have definitely changed. I have witnessed her on and off temper tantrums as well as her bizarre behavior. What is also upsetting is that her grooming skills have become sloppy and she even injured our dog. She claims we wanted our dog shaved to her skin which is absolutely bullshit and when I picked her up I wasn't impressed or happy. I definitely believe that Laura was under the influence of something that caused her to behave in an irrational manner. What I also want to mention for the people who still bring their pets to Picture Perfect for grooming is that they need to be very cautious about who they are entrusting their pets care too. Furthermore it's definitely shady as Hell that Laura and her partner Ben will not allow anyone to inspect the grooming area. What is this woman hiding? I believe she possibly maybe drugging some of the dogs while in her care. That's just my opinion. Anyways anyone who is willing to allow this horrible woman to groom their pet maybe asking for trouble. As pet owners it Is up to us to protect our pets from harms way and the possibility of abuse. I most definitely would never recommend Picture Perfect.
