Testimonials

On 2/26/2025 Elvia Carrillo had this to say:
I cannot say enough great things about Anchored Paws Pet Grooming, especially Janet and Katie! From the moment we walked in, they made both me and my dogs feel so welcome and at ease. Janet and Katie are incredibly kind, patient, and truly have a magic touch with animals. My dogs can be a little anxious, but they handled everything with such care and professionalism that they came out looking and feeling their best—happy, clean, and perfectly groomed! The attention to detail in their work is unmatched, and it’s clear that they genuinely love what they do. You can tell they treat every pet like their own, which makes all the difference. If you're looking for groomers who are skilled, compassionate, and just all-around wonderful people, Janet and Katie at Anchored Paws are the best! Highly recommend!

I have been bringing my lovely cat, Peach, here for 3 years. Peach absolutely loves them! They are so caring and gentle with her. Anchored paws also has the cutest dog accesories, pet birthday cakes, etc. I also started bringing my 2 chihuahuas here for nail trim bc I struggle to trim them myself. They do really well with my chihuahuas too. 100% recommended🥰 Thank you for all your hard work💖

A pleasure to work with Anchored Paws again. My pooch looks great after each grooming! I like that I can see technicians and my pet and everything is transparent, should I decide to wait around!
