Jolene and her team continue to give the best service and help my senior fur baby the best spa day ever. And, he gets to play with a variety of new friends! read more

BEWARNED - I took my Westie (west highland white terrier) here last week for a full body trim, serviced by Jolene, for the 1st time and will never trust them again. Please see the photos of the result; before the service we discussed a photo of a Westie face, half of the length off the body, and shorter hair on the legs. She took it upon herself without ANY discussion with me and CUT my baby's hair SO SHORT , I COULD NOT recognize her. She no longer has the signature westie face, has random wisps of hair on her face that were left long, and blade marks thru her body instead of a steady taper from her body to her legs. When I brought up how I distraught, upset and disappointed I was by her taking it upon herself to cut my dog's hair so short, how amateur the job looked and how unrcognizable my baby girl is, she barely apologized, said that HAIR GROWS BACK, did not sound remorseful and argued with me about MATTS in her fur when it is known by myself and my friend who both combed her frequently before the service that were NO matts or matted fur present. Take a look at the photos and decide if this is something you want for your precious pet. I paid $90 with tip and was NOT offered a refund or any compensation. read more

This place is awesome! we brought our puppy to the self wash. it was so much easier than at home. Warm water and all the supplies you need. It was quick! we also got Copper's nail trimmed real quick. We are coming here for now on when he needs a bath. read more

First time visit. Angie groomed my Tommy. His haircut was perfect. And the time was so good.

This place is the best & awesome that it exists! I've never gotten my dog groomed here but I've been coming here for a while to use the self wash & it's clean & they give you everything you need hassle free! $10 on tues/thurs which is great! My dog loves the experience as well besides the blow dryer he still hates that! read more

I'm a fan. Nice clean shop. Hard working people. Reasonable prices. Julene and Rosie are my "go tos" when my dogs need haircuts or pop in pedicures. read more

I stated that her mane was gone and cut down to her undercoat, not that her undercoat was gone. And my family and I are still trying to figure out how me communicating 'very light trim' meant chopping off a whole inch of hair through the perimeter of her mane. I have been to 3 previous groomers due to moving cities and they have never cut my dogs hair this short and uneven. Also stating that she should just 'enjoy' the chop you gave her completely undermines the fact that it wasn't what we asked and are still really sad for how you made our dog look. Luckily hair does grow back, we will just have to wait months for it to hopefully look like it used to. read more

Ive been a customer for years with my dogs. I appreciate the high quality care and service. More recently I started working with a senior dog rescue #lionelslegacyseniordogrescue. I am a forever foster for an elderly chi. She is very hard to work with and fearful. Julene is able to clip the nails and express glands with precision while holding on to a squiggly screaming crazy girl. She is the only one who can handle her. You can trust Julene with any of your dogs needs. Full groom, self service bath, or glands and nails-she has it all. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I have been bringing my dog, Buddy here for a few years now and always get great service. Buddy always looks so amazing after his spa day. Buddy was a rescue who spent most of his young life caged. He has cage trauma as a result this was the reason I started bringing him here is because it's a cage free groomer. read more

Julene and her team are The Best ! I've come to the Detailer for over 10 years , first with one , now with two dogs . Service is just great and worth every cent . My dogs look and smell amazing afterwards , and the friendly staff makes sure the pets have a good time . I like especially like that they are not stashed into cages , but can move free! read more

Great service, they accommodated Astro the morning I called. Will definitely be taking him back there for sure!

Awesome!! I was a little apprehensive about going to a new groomer...my old groomer wouldn't take my little Lady due to an injured leg...but I am so glad I found Doggy Detailers! They were so welcoming and nice from the minute we walked in. My pup went straight in and had no cages to be put in...they let them roam and play with the other dogs that are there. She loved it and started playing with 2 doggos that were there. They did an amazing job on her(she's a long hair chihuahua mix) and boy her fur was long and definitely needed a cut. The little bandana they put on her to top it off was the best. Thank you ladies and to Rosie who took such good care of her. We have found our forever groomer!! read more

Loved everything about them did amazing job on all 3 of my pups it's hard to find a good reliable dog groomer that does exactly what you asked for. At a reasonable cost one of my pups is aggressive and bites they never charge me more for that. Very friendly staff!! read more

There is none better! Julene is the Queen of Clean!! Seriously, we moved to IB and I can't find anyone who compares. There is just no better place to be found. I loved that my furbaby didn't have to be in a cage before or after her appointment. I loved how my furbaby looked and smelled when I picked her up. We were loyal customers for 9 years and it's sad to have to look elsewhere. read more

So I have a Great Pry/Poodle mix and he's a big boy at 11 months old. I used to take him to a different groomer, but she moved and we followed her here. He really likes her and didn't work well with others or other dogs. OMG!!!!! I was so happy when he walked in those doors, he was a little hesitant at first, but warmed up to Darla his groomer, also the owner came out and greeted us and he didn't bark or growl, when I picked him up, he was with the other dogs. The staff at "The Doggy Detailer" were amazing, friendly, super affordable and best of all made my handsome young man (Luca) look amazing. I live in Lakeside, but I will drive anywhere that makes my baby look and feel good. Thank you so much. read more

This was our second visit to Doggie Detailer. The staff is very friendly and the owner is professional and will get back to you promptly. We trust our babies to this groomer as we can tell they take their time and really care about the pups. They never over book themselves and are always on time. We will continue taking Penny and Jax here from now on. Will be recommending to my doggie parent friends. read more

The Doggy Detailer - I'm fresh and clean thanks to the Doggie Detailer! - Pet Groomers Near Me - La Mesa, California

I'm glad i have found Julene and her team. I have been with many groomers in the last 3 years and have never been fully happy with any of them. Found this little gem on Yelp and decided to try them. Online scheduling is my favorite as it relieves the stress of having to talk to someone and figure out your schedule. Julene is detail-oriented and i think i forgot to tell her everything i wanted done for my dog but she did everything exactly how i wanted them the first time i took my dog to her. Prices are not ridiculously expensive either so will definitely recommend them to others!!! read more

I've been taking my fur babies here for years. The concern julienne has for her 4 legged customers is remarkable. She's always on top of grooming needs at a grrreat price and goes above and beyond with suggestions she offers from time to time that I might look into for this or that or the other thing that she's noticed. She's respectful and compliant with masks and covid protocols Great customer service is such an understatement. read more

My dog looked fabulous thanks to the Doggy Detailer! After coming home from work my dog who has not been groomer in quite was beautiful and fluffy! read more

First time here and I'm super impressed! Very clean place and the lady (didn't catch her name) was super friendly. I made an appointment the day before and she was really responsive. Full service grooming only took about 1.5 hours and price was very comparable to what I had researched around the area. Will definitely be coming back to Doggy Detailer! read more

Behind on our grooming by over a month and took 2 very messy shepherds in for full service. Have been getting them groomed at various places over the past 9 years but found Doggie Detailer about a year ago and have been very pleased. Even with them being a disaster Rosie did what we think is the best groom and cut they have ever had anywhere. She was exhausted and rightly so but can't thank her enough. Booked another appt much sooner so she doesn't have to work that hard again. Thank you again read more

Great deal for the doggie self wash on Tuesday and Thursdays ($10). The place is nice, clean, and provides all the supplies you would need for the self wash. Staff also were great and explained how everything worked. read more

My mom has been bringing her toy poodle here for years, so when I finally adopted mine, of course she suggested that I have her groomed by Julene. But I live 25 minutes from my mom, so the travel time deterred me. I called a nearby groomer with exceptionally high marks and it turned out she was booked solid for the next 2 months. Anyone who knows poodles knows they can't go that long without a professional grooming. I asked my mom for Julene's contact info and she sent me a link to her Genbook. Genius! Naturally, Julene was booked up as well, but this way I could stalk her page for cancelations (this is how I get many of my appointments with various services). We don't know her full history pre-shelter, but it's clear that my little girl has been through a lot. Yet despite everything she's been through, she is learning to trust me to take care of her. Trusting her to someone else's care is a tremendous risk. Most pet parents will tell you that it's as much about the feeling you get around someone as anything - we allow our instincts to guide us. From the moment I walked through the door, I had the best feeling about Julene and her team. The level of knowledge and genuine caring was evident immediately. They spent 15 minutes talking to me about the details of her grooming. By the time we were finished, I knew deep in my heart that she would be just fine. Julene promised to text me when they were finished, so I headed out to do some grocery shopping. I got the text about an hour and a half later. When I arrived back at the salon, OH MY! Now my little girl is always beautiful, but wow did they bring out her shine even more. And in addition to being gorgeous, she was actually looking comfortable with someone other than me (which never happens). Suffice it to say, I went home and immediately booked her next grooming at The Doggy Detailer. The convenience of a nearby groomer would be nice, but after this experience, there's no one for us but Julene! read more

The Doggy Detailer is awesome! My Scottie pup is always so happy to come here and that tells me he is comfy and well taken care of while he is groomed. To boot I had an emergency with burrs stuck in my pups feet after a trip to a nursery. I texted the doggy Detailer and the owner told me to come by. When I showed up she was closing the shop and she had waited for me! She quickly took care of the burrs and my dog didn't snap at her like he had with me. She has skill with dogs. I definitely recommend this shop, I will never take him anywhere else. read more
