Pet Groomers in San Francisco

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Having Tefani & So take care of my dog has turned out to be the best decision I made when I moved to San Francisco this summer. They are truly an excellent, caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful team, and I cannot sing their praises enough. They have been taking amazing care of my husky-labrador mix, Evie, all summer, and I am so glad that when I'm swamped with work, there is Tefani & So to hop in and care for her.

Thank you to Watson, Ricardo, Stina, Tyler, Daniel, and all of the folks making Tefani such a safe place for dogs. As an anxious pet parent, I am so glad I found such a trustworthy team. The team at Tefani is extremely friendly, communicative, and always happy to help with special dietary or medical needs that Evie might have. They are very knowledgeable, with a low staff-to-dog ratio; I knew Evie would be getting plenty of individualized attention every time she was with them.

The facilities at Tefani are clean and well-maintained, with multiple doors that ensure safety. Scheduling and convenience-wise, the Tefani team has been SO accommodating anytime I was running a few minutes late, and even accepting Evie for boarding when I had a few emergency scheduling conflicts that meant she had to stay late. They are the most understanding partners to work with, and have made my life as a working pet parent so easy.

Every day, Evie gets dropped off at Tefani between the hours of 8-9am, and goes to the dog park with the team for more than an hour. Then, they give her lunch that I provide and take her out for a potty break. I usually add the afternoon drop-off shuttle, and Evie gets dropped back at my apartment every day so I don't have to worry about missing the 5-6pm pick-up window. Shoutout to Tyler, who runs the shuttle!! He is super communicative about when he'll be dropping Evie back off and always provides an ETA and a picture of her safely at home.

Boarding Evie with Tefani has also been a dream. Shoutout to Ricardo for taking the most amazing care of Evie when I have to be out of town! I boarded her for a few weeks during the summer, and I always felt so safe because I knew Ricardo was taking excellent care of her. Once, Evie got an eye infection during boarding while I was traveling abroad, and Ricardo was so considerate and thoughtful. He took her to the vet, FaceTimed me from the clinic, answered all of my questions about her healing, and provided tons of updates that really quelled my anxiety. Otherwise, he always sends adorable daily pictures of their adventures and gives her lots of cuddles when she asks for them. Evie loves Ricardo so much that she now paws at the door whenever she sees him coming to greet her at daycare. She'll jump on him, give him kisses, and make happy cries -- something she only does with the people she loves the most.

I once saw the Tefani team in action when Evie and I were at the park at the same time as them. They truly love the dogs they work with, and know each dog's name by heart. They give each dog nonstop attention and genuinely care about every single one.

Most importantly, the Tefani team has given such care to Evie that she is now a transformed dog in terms of her confidence. As a former stray, Evie was very shy and reserved around groups of other dogs. However, since going to Tefani, she has grown immensely in confidence and socialization skills. She is now unafraid of new dogs at the park and will even initiate play with others. This transformation of my previously shy girl becoming a confident, happier doggo has made working with Tefani more than worth it.

Thank you, Tefani & So, for being the best doggy daycare I could've asked for in SF. Evie loves you all!“

“Matt did the nails of my friend's very difficult chihuahua. He did them so fast even her their dog was surprised.
Save yourself and your dog the stress of nail trims and bring your dog to Matt. His prices are very reasonable and he can handle even the most difficult dogs with ease.“

“This was the best experience I've had with a groomer in the City.

From the first conversation on the phone, I was sold on bringing in our toy poodle, whose hair has been butchered all around San Francisco in the last two years. Bernard (the owner) was knowledgeable, passionate, and reassuring, so we gave it a shot. I'm SO glad we did.

The atmosphere was inviting and the crew welcomed us warmly. Time was taken to thoroughly discuss the cut and expectations, which I appreciated. Our girl was matted, so I knew it would be more than just a bath and shape, but she was finished well within the timeframe discussed.

We can always tell when our dog has been traumatized by a grooming, but she returned to us a bouncing, prancing happy little princess with the most adorable cut ever! The muzzle was a little long, though, so we gave her back and Bernard oversaw the redo until it was done to perfection.

Wow... what an amazing experience. I walked out a loyal customer. I'm so grateful to have a place to take her now that I can count on for quality work and a wonderful experience. I wholeheartedly endorse this business and hope they stay around for a long time.

Thank you, Showtime Grooming!“

“Tomo is great! I have a senior chihuahua rescue who doesn’t like grooming rituals or to be left, and Tomo is so gentle and kind with him. He typically gets a nail and tail trim, and she’s super fast. Today we were in and out in like 7 minutes.“

“Mission cats is the best!! They come through at the last minute, are super reliable, super responsive, and just caring and kind people who love cats. They even have a credit policy so if you have a cancellation, you get a credit to your account! Just another example of their awesome customer service. Thanks Mission Cats!!!“

“Reynaldo and his assistants are great. Mudpuppy over in Castro was refusing to style-cut my 17yo toy poodle, claiming it "stresses her out." Reynaldo is a dog whisperer and seems to have a great bond with dogs. He's able to do the French poodle cut with no problem, so I started coming here. The price here is also a bit cheaper than MP, which is nice. The best part about coming here? You get to hang out for a bit with a dozen other well-behaved, sweet dogs. I kind of want to ask him if it's cool that I buy coffee and hang out here to do work. You know how there's cat cafes? This place is like the dog cafe version of that!“

“First time coming with my english bulldog and she did an amazing job despite my dog moving a lot. Thank you“

“Such a cute pet shop! I shop there exclusively when I'm buying anything for my cat Jack. The owner is always very helpful whenever I have a question!“

“Deborah has been hand stripping our Norwich Terrier for the last five years. I was desperate to find a new groomer after a bad experience when Gus was a puppy. After extensive research, I was lucky to come across Kent's Kanines. Deborah and I had a long phone conversation regarding Gus's first grooming experience where the groomer had muzzled Gus. He was traumatized. Deborah's approach to Gus was measured, calm and comforting. He was a little wonky on the table at first, but after a few grooming sessions, he figured it out, with Deborah's guidance. Gus looks forward to Deborah's visits, which really says a lot. We appreciate her patience and skill with Gus. We LOVE that she comes to our home. It's a great environment for grooming, Gus feels comfortable and there are no other groomers/dogs making him anxious. Highly recommend Kent's Kanines for your dog grooming needs!“

“Sylvia was so accommodating and kind. We were a last minute schedule and she was able to fit us in. My little guy has never looked better ✨ looks I found my new groomer!“

“We just took our boxer/bully mix to SF Dog Parlour for the first time and Ashely did an excellent job. Our pup was happy and calm the entire time, thanks to her. And she looks and smells incredible. Will definitely be back and I totally recommend this spot for dog grooming!“

“Lizzie loves her Spa treatment with Jose.
ManiPedi, eat cleaning(so she can hear mom call her),teethbrushing(her favorite), bath and blow dry.“

“We’ve been getting our small cavapoo groomed her for about 1-2 years and we’re always happy with her cut. Blake today just did THE PERFECT hair cut she’s ever gotten she looks like a literal teddy bear. Blake was great, they gave us good advice on how to get the best deal through a touch up rather than a full cut. Our dog came out fluffy, round, and cute! Thanks Blake!“

“Great experience for me as I have bern grooming our aging yet very active Terrier for 3 years and now he is more resistant & I am getting scratches on my arms, have to wear gardening sleeves & gloves. So I explained to Alyssa his appointment groomer, & she said she will be aware and also followed my request not to use scissors on his face near his-eyes (as he had been poked in the Left eye possibly with a scissors tip, by a groomer at Bow Wow Meow in Menlo Park & result was a scratch on his Cornea & now blind in-that eye). He is a licensed CA Therapy Dog, who now provides aide & confort to Persons with Dementia & Alzheimers. Is a good listener during story reading for anyone. Alyssa was so careful with him & she had a second person help to hold him & keep him calm. He looks so great and she did a perfect grooming. I realize that I under tipped her but will definitely be more generous next grooming. VIP is SUPER!..Tip your Groomer??“

“Amber was so nice and awesome!
I went in to get our dog's nails trimmed and was under a little bit of a time crunch... she got him in and out right away. ( I talked to her just a bit earlier about coming in though ).
Everything was great!“
