    We had a lovely experience with Rita today. She groomed my 15 year old baby. She only lives 1.2 miles from my house, which is VERY convenient!! Taking my husky to her next week! THANX Rita!!!

    Rita is awesome, she is very knowledgeable, I've been taking my poodle for over a year and she always does an amazing job. My dog is not the most collaborative for haircuts and she know how to handle him. She takes one dog at a time which is great because the dogs are never in cages or with other dogs. I highly recommend this place, definitely the best groomer in the valley.

    I wanna gate-keep Rita all to myself!!! But honestly, Rita is a goddess, she is best in this valley. Keke wasn't the most patient client, but we were washed, blow dried, and trimmed in and hour!! Thank you Rita!! We will see you again soon ! :)

    Rita is a great groomer-knows her stuff. My dog was not as stressed as she often is with a chaotic salon with lots of dogs. Rita does one pup at a time. If you're looking for a fancy grooming spa, look elsewhere. She works out of a small garage room that's equipped to accomplish what's needed. If you're looking for a good groomer, then Rita is definitely that person.

    Our tomboy nugget was princess for the day!

    Margarita gave our 12 week old mini poodle her first grooming today. She put our pup and me at ease and did a wonderful job! We'll definitely be back for her 6-8 week touch up! Thank you, Margarita! My husband cracked up at the princess tiara

    The boys after their grooming session with Rita. Happy and clean.

    Rita is The BEST dog groomer I've ever met. She complete transformed my recently adopted chow chow boy and his brothet. No other groomer in the area wanted to touch them because of their breed and no prior grooming history. She worked her magic and did not give up on them. Can't say enough good things about this business and Rita.

    My German Shepard got home today after spending some time with Rita and he looks like a Million$. Highly recommend her.

    Getting his ears cleaned

    Loki and I are thrilled to have found Rita. She is so amazing, patient, speaks their language. It was my 8 month old German Shepherd's 1st time at the groomer so he gave her a run for her $. She still did everything for him, bathed him, deshed him, brushed his teeth, cleaned his ears, anal glands, shaved his paws and cut his nails for an incredible low cost. She does not put them in a cage and will only have 1 dog at a time. Our appointment was almost 2hrs. We were so happy we already booked our next appointment. She's a dog whisperer, Loki does not do very well with strangers but the minute he met Rita he was happy to be around her. She is truly amazing!!

    I brought my 14 year old mixed breed dog to be groomed. Rita took her time to get to know Max and kept me updated as to what and how she cut, bathed and groomed him. She also cut his nails and suggested I have his teeth cleaned, but only if the vet could do it without using anesthesia. When I came to pick him up, she was walking him around the neighborhood. She only takes one dog at a time and does not put your pet in a crate.

The friendly service created by the owners, a lovely couple, immediately puts both us and our dogs at ease. Their professionalism is evident in every aspect of the grooming process - from scheduling appointments to the final result. One of the standout features of Cali Pets is their punctuality. It's evident that they value your time as much as their own, and it makes the entire experience seamless. Efficiency is another area where Cali Pets excels. They manage to provide top-notch grooming services without compromising on quality, which is a testament to their expertise in the field. The kindness displayed by the staff is heartwarming. They genuinely care about the well-being of the pets they groom, and it shows in the gentle approach they take. Moreover, the level of knowledge they possess about various breeds and their specific grooming needs is impressive. What sets Cali Pets apart is the diverse range of services they offer. Whether it's a standard grooming session, nail trimming, or specialty treatments, (I have asked for many services thanks to my dogs active life styles ) and they have it all covered. It's literally my one-stop-shop for all my dogs grooming needs!!! I love that . Above all, the couple who owns Cali Pets are truly amazing people. Their passion for animals and dedication to providing exceptional service make them pillars of the local pet care community. I love that we have a community. Thank you both again!!! I'm so happy I found you.

They even helped me realize my dog might have an ear infection in his ear! I took him to the vet and sure enough, he does. All is better now and he's feeling so much better now that he's no longer scraggly.

    Before I got my little puppy, I used to take my older dog to a different place in LA, but since I…read moredidn't have much time, I thought I'd try a new place near Northridge area. I was a little skeptical about this place when I saw the ratings here on Yelp, but I wanted to give them a try before I judge them. I took my 6-month-old puppy to this place for the first time today and my experience was absolutely horrible. When I brought my puppy back to my car, I noticed that she had a little dirt looking stuff on one of her nails. I took a close look at it and immediately realized that it was her blood. I took her right back to the place and showed it to the guy and he said "oh, her nail was too short." Shouldn't "I'm sorry" have come out first??!?! He also added "I know it's your puppy and all, but she moved a lot cause she's a puppy and it's only one so..., we also put quick aid too." This is exactly what he said. That really pissed me off, so I told him I would've appreciated his work more if he told me what happened in the first place and that's how it should've been handled. Then he said "it won't happen again," but he NEVER said "sorry" or "I apologize." So does he think that it's okay to hurt puppies because they're puppies? As far as the customer service is concerned, the guy wasn't as rude as some of the reviews said AT FIRST, so that was a relief, but when I went back to pick my puppy up after four hours, he had a little attitude (which I don't understand why because he cut my puppy's nail short). I paid $50 for a bath, hair cut, nail trimming, emptying glands, and ear cleaning. Although he quoted $45 when I called this place three days prior to my today's appointment, I didn't want to argue about $5, so I just paid $50 with my debit card. When I got my receipt, it didn't have an option for me to write the tip amount, so I ended up swiping again. Again, I don't know why he didn't tell me beforehand. It would've saved him some money on transaction fees, but maybe he didn't mind not getting some tips because he knew what he did. Now that I think about it, I don't even know what I tipped them. Her haircut is VERY uneven and looks patchy. I get that she's a puppy and it was her first time grooming, so maybe uneven haircut was inevitable. However, even when I trimmed her nails at home, bleeding has never happened before and that, in fact, is unacceptable for so-called professionals or certified groomers. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. They don't care about your dogs or puppies. If they really cared, this wouldn't have happened to my puppy and he would've sincerely apologized instead of trying to hide it from me.

    I was very happy with my dog's haircut! They did an excellent job. He came home looking like a new…read moredog, they were very thorough and friendly! Would recommend this place. They are extremely busy but its because they take their time with the dogs to assure a proper haircut and a stress free environment.
