We are so glad to have found The Dapper Dog! They do a great job with our small mix and she is never skittish about going to the groomer, which is great. Everyone who works there is super kind too. read more

Wow! So Happy for this Renovated/ New Owner? I had been to the previous version and I could never get clear answers about bringing my (then younger) 12+ year old pug dog there without some big complicated booking. This time I booked on my app. and it was many little forms but I got in. My dog needed a bath, Nails and express and they offered things like teeth and ear cleaning too, so I was like, Sure, Awesome!" I got another text before the appointment about signing off on Mat Hair removal which my dog doesn't have but was nervous it would become an appointment killer. All was fine. * Sounds like they are working out how to have you sign off or not have to when~you have a short haired dog. Got there, everything was smooth and the place was actually clean and not smelly as the previous spot was, I assume that can happen when you are busy. The staff were SO NICE!! Piper and Zenise made me immediately comfortable with their smiles and friendly banter, none of which happened at the previous iteration, (though I knew so many people who went there). I felt very comfortable and my dog came back clean and mainly her toenails were impeccable! (She's older~I feel like they are growing faster than I can stay on top of) Even her pads were softened! (Amazing extra bonus). This groomer was awesome, I can't recall his name. Totally recommend The Dapper Dog for someone looking for that great pampering dog spot NO LONGER called SPOT, in the original Record Store location of Village Music. #9 E. Blithdale. Next MilVali Salon & Pizza. They even gave me 10% off for my first time! read more

I recently took my pup to Dapper Dogs for his very first grooming appointment at this location, and we had such a great experience with Piper. The salon itself is so cute and has such a welcoming vibe. Piper was absolutely amazing. He came out looking fantastic. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Piper!! read more

The Dapper Dog - Pet Groomers Near Me - Mill Valley, California

Until recently this dog grooming place had no groomer and no online reservations, which I think technically made it a store you could call to talk about dogs and nothing more. They had a very noisy re-opening party recently, so I looked online and was pleased to find they now have both a groomer and online reservations! Ash and the other gentleman were very nice and easy to deal with, and the interior space is nice and professional. I explicitly confirmed the style I wanted (a puppy cut) and came back to discover that our dog had been given only a slightly uneven trim. I said "this isn't the style I asked for", and Ash said: "I didn't want to go too short." Call me old fashioned, but I think it's probably better to say up front that you won't adhere to a request -- rather than agreeing to it, charging $150, and then saying you didn't want to do it. Again they're very nice people, but I live 700 feet away from this place and will not be going back. Now stuck trying to find a second grooming appointment for this weekend. read more

This is a wonderful addition to our community. So grateful to have found a new groomer I can really trust and who does such a great job. We used to see Piper at a different shop and were thrilled to find out she's at Dapper Dog now. She took incredible care of Clementine and the shop itself is spotless and comfortable. This will be our new groomer moving forward. read more

Well what do we have here but another dog groomer?! Is it just any old dog groomer? That's a heck no! Walk in to this little doggy spa, and you'll feel instantly calm. It's just peaceful and clean and lovely in there. You'll be greeted by a friendly face and a warm voice. That's your man Z right there. You'll feel welcome and taken care of right away. And then maybe you'll get Piper to take over with your fur baby. I've been a client of Piper for years now and she's The Best. Dogs love her, for one thing. One of my dogs used to quiver all the way from the car to the door, and once she saw Piper, all her worries melted away. Magic! Is your dog cute? Want him/her to be even cuter? Like is that even possible? If it is, Piper will take you there. We all care so much about our little doggy friends, their comfort and care and yes, dare I say, adorability quotient. You'll get everything you need at The Dapper Dog. read more

I had a great first experience with the team at the Dapper Dog - they were very kind with my nervous dog and he came out looking great, and earlier than expected, which was nice. I intend to use them again, and recommend them highly based on this first experience! read more

I took my Lab/Great Pyrenees mix to Dapper Dog Salon, where she got a bath, full deshedding treatment, and nail trim. While my dog has never been a big fan of grooming, she came home calm and non-stressed--which says a lot about how gentle and caring the team must be. The staff is friendly and professional, making sure my dog was comfortable throughout the process. Plus, they have a great selection of toys and treats. They just opened and I highly recommend checking them out. read more

Worst grooming ever! Butched my beautiful ome year old Golden Doodle. Groomer said my dog needed extra time to be dematted. When I picked her up, she was shaved down to 1/4 inch on her legs and body. She looked like a drowned rat. Changed me extra for "dematting" which I did not see since she was totaly shaved. This was not groomiong , it was incompetent animal cruelty. I would post a picture if I were not so embarrased to show her. Please avoid this place. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

My wife took our little terrier in for a grooming, and the doggo came out looking fabulous! The groomer was Ash, and he absolutely followed what we asked for. I didn't know that my dog could look this pretty. The whole team there was very kind and professional. Please note that we have tried three other groomers in Mill Valley. One we really loved, but they're impossible to get into. The second one we saw a dog escape from and run into the streets so they were knocked off our list. DDS uses a gate across the grooming area so that the dogs can run around and see the world without being stuffed behind a big thick door like it used to be when it was a different business. My dog came out very happy tail wagging 90 miles an hour. So my next step is bringing our other dog in! We are so happy to have this business in our little town Please patronize them! read more

What a special place to bring your fur baby! The staff is so wonderful & really care about top notch services for the pups. Excited to share this place with my mom who has a king charles cavalier! read more

The staff and skill at Dapper Dog are top notch. We brought in our very anxious Aussie for a full groom. Unfortunately the first time he was too nervous for Ash and the team to proceed, instead of stressing our guy out more, they suggested we come back for anther try later in the week. With the help of a bit of anti-anxiety meds for our pup and Ash's skill he came out with a fresh and clean new 'do and the best de-shed we've ever had. The team at Dapper Dog truly care about dog's emotional and physical well-being and not just a quick, stressful groom! read more

I'm always nervous to try a new groomer but this was honestly the best experience. Piper was amazing! She put both me and my dog at ease right from the start. My pup looked great and was so calm afterward. I can't wait to book with her again! read more

Outstanding experience across the board. They are super sensitive and attentive and my dogs look so great. Highly recommend!!

Our golden retriever Rambo is almost 3 and has been getting groomed since he was 6 months old. Unfortunately had a bad experience with a previous mobile groomer. We thought we'd try a new spot and the team at Dapper Dog was amazing. They were very patient and allowed Rambo to get to know them before taking him back for his bath and haircut. We received text updates during the services as well which made us feel good about having him groomed there. When we picked him up he was so nice a clean and his haircut looked great! You could tell Rambo was happy and felt so good about himself as we left the shop. We look forward to our next visit! read more

Ash did such a wonderful job tending to my dirty and matted rescue dog. Not only was he gentle with my pup, he kept me in the loop via a phone call about what he needed to do throughout his 2.5 hour full groom. My pup needed a full shave and Ash did such a great job making sure that my dog still looked nice despite that. As a first time doodle-owner Ash also gave me some pointers on how to care for my dog's coat and ears. read more

Piper is amazing. I have 2 rescues who were very scared, and Piper treated them like princesses! I will be making set appointments with her regularly! Everybody needs to see Piper for a beautifully groomed puppy read more

Piper is amazing, 5 star service for our little dog. One of the best groomers there for sure. I will only be seeing her moving forward.

I took my dog, Ziggy to Dapper Dog for the first time last week and I am so glad I did. Ash did a fantastic job of grooming Ziggy! He did everything I asked him to do. Ziggy walked out clean and proud. I will definitely be bringing him back for regular grooming. I highly recommend Dapper Dog. And, the receptionist, Zee was really nice, too. read more

THIS PLACE ROCKS! Definitely coming back! Lia and her staff were super friendly and patient with my Grumpasaurus Rex, Yogi. He is an old boy and weary of strangers and loud noises, Dapper Dog made my guy feel safe and comfy and he left looking like a million bucks! read more

our dog (cav King Charle) was dropped off with detailed instructions. do not cut slippers, trim nails, shorten ears, puppy cut. zero of these items were done as asked and our dog is hurt on the nails from the experience. they said better for the dog to not groom her the way we asked. we will never go back and the owner should really look be sure the staff is competent. i have never take the time to write a bad review until now. read more

This place is SO CUTE and the staff is incredibly friendly. The owner, Lia greeted us warmly with a smile, she's so nice and remembered all of the details about my dogs' needs. My chihuahua is a little skittish but they handled him with care and made him feel very comfortable. My other dog doesn't LOVE getting bathed but he was super happy when we walked in AND when we left. We are fans of this place and definitely going back!! read more
