    Ever since my neighbor told me about James how talented and nice he is and how much he loves animals, we had to go; and she was right. He knows style, compassion and has tremendous skill. I trust him with my baby and know that she'll be in good hands. Great price and easy location. If you can't find parking, James will help to accommodate. Thanks James, you're the best!

    He does such an amazing job on my shih-poo. I took her to him right when she was safe to do so at 4 months and she loves him! I was referred to him by someone on Nextdoor. He's very professional and sweet and treats my dog very well. She loves him!! We will be coming to him as long as he's open. Also, every time she comes out she looks like a million bucks!!

    Bowie's new haircut,by James

    James does an amazing job with our little Maltipoo Bowie! Not only does he take his time to address any questions before grooming ,but he also goes out of his way to let us know how Bo did during his appointment. This is the only place we take out pup. Bo is always very relaxed after his haircut so I know he's taken care of. James' communication with clients is above and beyond, I highly recommend UW to any pet owners looking to pamper their beloved animal companion and support a locally owned small business.

    Mirai

    I finally found the Best groomer and James is the one I'm super picky when it comes to my Mirai. James is so kind and patient. I can tell and feel he cares/loves Mirai. Thank you so much for always making Mirai so adorable. I highly recommend him

    James is amazing!!! He took care of our 2 little ones and they came out looking really beautiful. His a true professional and you can tell he has such a big passion & love for animals. It's a nice cozy place in the rear of the small complex and a bit hard to find (behind El Comal Mexican food). I will be taking our little ones back I highly recommend James and his amazing work. Melody & Lady came out looking really beautiful... thanks James!!!

    Idk how he gets my guy so darn cute . I bring him a fluffy mess and he gives back greatness. James is great, loves critters of all shapes and sizes.

    Before his grooming--definitely a bit of a wild fuzz ball

    James was so awesome! it was my rescue dog's first time getting groomed, and he is a bit of a nervous dog who can be fearful at times. James was super sweet and patient with him and he came out looking like a million bucks! He's a sheltie mix, so there's not a whole lot to do with him haha but he looked so clean and soft and smelled great. I was an hour or so late getting back to him--my service was terrible and I didn't get his text on time but he was so nice and accommodating. I didn't feel like he was at all frustrated with me. He also showed me the next dog he was grooming and told me about him and his owners. You can tell he really cares about his furry clients and their human owners and I fully trust him with my crazy pup. He also has some animals at the shop that he's rescued, including a cute little catfish! He is definitely a genuine animal lover, which is comforting when you have to leave your baby with someone new. I really recommend him if you're looking for a groomer and his prices are great too! After and before--minus his cute bandana James gave him!

    James groomed my little girl to perfection. :-)

    The most amazing place to bring your dog. James is such a talented artist. My Shih Tzu looks like an angel. He understands the needs of your dog and he is very gentle. Thank you James :-)

    James is great with dogs coco has never been happier. I can definitely tell she's happy and comfortable each time. His work is incredible and prizes are fantastic. Take your pets!!!! You will love him

    LOVE Urban Whiskers! James is extraordinary, a true animal lover. He takes great care of our 2 pomeranian doggos. They always come out looking fresh, smelling great and rocking a stylish bandana. James was referred to us by our building manager and I cannot recommend James enough, if you're in need of a groomer don't hesitate to reach out.

The team goes above and beyond making sure not only that the cats are well take care of, but they also gather our mail, have taken the garbage cans in on trash day and tidy up inside when the cats make a mess. Our three cats feel comfortable and safe with their Paws Play sitters. I appreciate and look forward to the photos they send with every visit and detailed updates. They communicate via a portal with all the cats' details and instructions uploaded + billing is clearly outlined and easily processed. Thank you Jessica, Erik and your entire team for taken care of our cats...whether it's an extended holiday or a short two-day getaway. We know they're always in good hands!

She was fantastic, even brought Cody a bag of toys and treats! Needless to say, they are top notch, professional, and responsive. We use an app, that allows us to get daily updates and photos and messages about our fur baby. They are always punctual and caring and I can not recommend them enough. Cats and dogs, it is not easy to find a cat sitter in San Diego, we no longer could depend on family and friends, so this was a huge weight off our shoulders, now that we have Paws Play, we can go away whenever we want and know that our cat will be well cared for. Thank you Jessica and Erik! We highly recommend them for your fur babies!

However, everything worked out since I've been wanting to ger her groomed by Logan for more than a year now! I first heard of Gabriel Feitosa's Grooming Salon through Instagram at least 3 years ago. And finally... we got to go! Prepare your dogs vaccination records. :) Bring them before or on the grooming day. When you arrive, you will fill out a simple questionaire with basic info. They'll ask the usual.. what style groom you have in mind! I like my dog to have the typical teddy bear cut. :) So cute! Keep the eyelashes etc. It took a few hours (as expected) and I was sooooo happy with Gigi's groom by Logan! Logan is so detail-oriented and sooo nice! When I came to pick Gigi up, he kindly came out to bring Gigi out! I also had Winston, (Gigi's bestie) with me since Winston was with us overnight for a pupsleepover! At the salon, they sell treats, dog clothing, dog bed, dog necklaces and shoes, and our fave, the dog cologne by Hydra USA! Logan used Forever Fresh on Gigi and it smelled amazing! I returned a week after to purchase it. There are many other amazing colognes too to choose from. Natashya and Randy assisted me at the front desk and they were so kind and welcoming! We will be back in the future and will also support at the new location! P.S. Parking - street parking with meters. There is a small lot on the left of the salon but I am unsure if those belong to the other businesses or if anyone can park. It's pretty easy though to find parking.

But after talking to a friend about her wonderful experience at Waggs & Ruffs, I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. My pup was shy in the beginning, which honestly made me nervous, but he warmed up quickly. Now he genuinely looks forward to seeing his favorite humans and his dog buddies every time we pull up! What really sets this place apart is the staff -- they are caring, responsible, and treat every dog like their own. You can tell this isn't just a job for them; they truly love what they do. I also really appreciate that they keep their group sizes small, so every dog gets real attention instead of getting lost in the shuffle. The add-on options are such a nice touch too -- training, one-on-one cuddle time, pack walks, and even trips to Fiesta Island give my pup extra enrichment beyond a typical daycare day. And I love getting photo updates and report cards -- checking my phone to see how his day is going is honestly the highlight of my afternoon. If you're on the fence about dog daycare like I was, do yourself (and your pup) a favor and give Waggs & Ruffs a try. Highly recommend!

It was also a plus that they carried the food brand that my dog likes to eat. They only have street parking which is paid, but if you are only going to be there to pick up some food, I don't think it will be an issue without paying. However, this place is located near other shops so you might want to explore the area while you're in town. There were some clothing shops and record shops and restaurants. I would've figured that the price point would be a little bit higher since this is a little bit more boutique, but the price was fair and comparable to Petco or PetSmart. The had variety of dog and cat food brands that you will see in other boutique store or large stores so this could be your one stop shop for your pets. Overall we were able to find what we needed and my dog enjoyed her visit here.
