I have been to Here Doggy (Bettina) for some time now and my dog is demanding and not easy to groom. Bettina calms Precious and he is happy after seeing her. I am the proud owner of Precious who is 13 years of age and a wonderful boy and I only want what is best for him. Bettina does a superb job and I am very happy with Here Doggy.Kim Kubal Executive Director, Your Strength to Heal (a nonprofit organization)

Great day care. People there are really friendly. I love that the day has structure and they will time out a dog if they are doing some inappropriate behavior. I REALLY love that they have an outdoor area as my dog tends to smell like piss at the end of the day (she rolls around a lot) if theyre an indoor daycare only.

The groomer, Bethina, is horrible! DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG TO HER. I told her 5x before his first visit not to extract my dogs anal glands, and she did it anyway without my consent. My dog is hurt. I had to take him to the ER because he was so painful. I hope HereDoggy does the right thing and gets rid of her and gets a reputable groomer.My dog was prescribed 2 medications at the ER tonight and this is the message I received:You are certainly free to leave whatever review you feel fit and tell the story as you experienced it.But after seeing the tone of your reviews, and hearing of your hostile, unwarranted personal attacks on Bethina, you need to find another daycare.We all love our dogs, but that was intolerable. There is no one who shares your opinion of her as horrible, and Im confident your review will be ignored.She is a beloved, highly experienced and decorated groomer, and a wonderful person. Your treatment of her, for what was an honest, unfortunate mistake, offended the entire team, and we do not feel comfortable having you in our building.Your package will be refunded by mail.Andy,Co-owner, Here, Doggy!June 15, 2024In response to the owners second response:Bethina did not make a mistake. She deliberately disregarded my multiple requests and that resulted in my sweet dog having to go to the ER. There is a BIG difference. I hope she doesnt hurt more dogs. Also, stop emailing me. I officially asked you to stop and you continue to do so.

With this review, i hope to express my immense gratitude for the exceptional care and attention provided by Here, Doggy! As a dog owner of an anxious pup, finding a daycare that not only understands but also caters to his unique needs has been a game changer. From the very beginning, the staff has shown remarkable patience and guidance, especially when dealing with my pups occasional loud moments. Their attentiveness goes beyond the ordinary, as theyve proven to notice even subtle changes in his behavior - a testament to their genuine care.The take or leave area is a brilliant concept that adds a personal touch to the experience. Being able to drop off goodies and pick up essentials is not only convenient but also reflects the thoughtful consideration put into the daycares design.Choosing a new daycare is always a nerve-wracking experience for any dog owner, but Here, Doggy! has gone above and beyond to alleviate any worries I had about my pup. The availability of cameras for check-ins adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing me to observe his activities and well-being throughout the day.What truly sets Here, Doggy! apart is the trust Ive developed in their ability to care for my pup. The little report cards and daily updates have been invaluable, providing insights into his social interactions and daily activities. Thanks to the support and genuine care provided by this daycare, my dog has become more social and accustomed to other dogs and people.I am truly grateful for the positive impact Here, Doggy! has had on my pups well-being. Thank you for creating a safe and nurturing environment for my furry friend.

This is for Here Doggy Grooming. Bethina was wonderful! She was very welcoming when we first got there and treated my dog with such love and care. She explained to me her process and the products she uses (all high quality). On top of that, my dog came out looking cute and smelling good. I highly recommend Bethina!

First off – if you care about your dog and in turn you’re looking for a review, please take what I have to say seriously, because I’ve brought my dogs to many daycares in many states and in multiple countries. So I know exactly how lucky I am to have found Here, Doggy! and Jessica / Jess and Andy and Monica and Israel and honestly every single other person I’ve interacted with who works there. I’ve fantasized about volunteering.Im also not necessarily quick to praise. Certainly not quick to over-praise. I have no skin in the game in writing this review, as we are moving away from SF.That is all to say, this is long overdue, and it has been on my mind many times... but it is time to tackle my Here, Doggy! review as a long-time customer.In short… they are true professionals, and the priority is the dogs. I have so much respect for how they run this “business” – the quotes are to emphasize the fact that as far as I can tell, it is in equal part a business as it is a legitimate passion project. Ok it isn’t even equal – if given the choice, they choose the dogs over themselves. Any dog. Your dog. That is incredible, and is an empathy test that treads into what it is like to be a great doctor, in my opinion. But even more rare for a daycare because there are no rules, officially. To continue the metaphor: there are plenty of skilled doctors, but over time, they become desensitized by scale and almost necessarily lose some empathy. But great doctors somehow maintain the person-by-person (or dog-by-dog) consideration and care. And I hope I’ve conveyed all of this well enough to them in person, but I also want it on the record that this is a rare thing in general in any profession, and it is beyond “good” for the dogs; it graduates to life-changing for the other humans who care about the dogs.We adopted our current dog without knowing much about her, and she is great albeit imperfect, as most are. She wasn’t equipped to be alone when we adopted her. Here, Doggy! allowed us to keep her, and her being there every day for ~ two years now has helped immensely with her confidence with strange dogs and strange people, and I expect will allow her to handle moving on to whatever her next situation will be.Prior to that, my previous senior dog was lucky enough to be a patron for maybe a year. And I sometimes think… well, even if the other daycare situations or being alone at home while I worked weren’t enriching for her (this legitimately bums me out)… at least at the end of her life she got the absolute most loving and catered care that she could hope for. She could be a grump in the end – but she had so much fun sprinkled throughout, right up to the end. We should all hope for the same.Just have a look at the cameras any time if you are at all suspicious of a stranger’s word. I cannot fathom the consistent compassion and the willpower and the WORK that goes into doing this every day in a way that I cannot believe I’ve never disagreed with.I’m very grateful.You’d be lucky to get a spot, because I guarantee it is impossible to do any better.

First time coming here with my Pup for nail trimming services and really appreciated how Bethina handled my baby. She was very gentle and great with Bailey. She also cleaned her station, as she had to swap out a pup she was grooming, to trim my dogs nails. I will be coming here going forward for my dog grooming needs. :)

My dog adores Here Doggy; he squeaks frantically to get in the door and has (more than once!) hidden from Jessica at the end of the day to attempt to avoid going home.Even beyond the exercise your dog will get, he or she will become accustomed to meeting strange dogs which pays dividends when going to the park.Jessica and her team are fantastic; weve been going here since she started the business in March 2017. Elvis and I cant recommend Here Doggy strongly enough.

The Groomer, Bethina, is amazing! She’s great with my very timid dog and always does an amazing job on his black nails. I have been to so many groomers around the Peninsula and she is the only one that is consistently good.She does everything: bathing, drying, nails, ear cleaning, anal gland, and teeth brushing (plus more as these are my Rocky’s needs).My only complaint, I wish I found her sooner!
