Carrie is so very knowledgeable, kind and efficient when handling my girls. I realize now I was hovering and distracting the dogs so I went and did my chores. They came back happy and beautiful.

This was truly a lovely experience for myself and my kitty! It's quite hard to find cat groomers in general and I was so glad to find Carrie! First of all Carrie is a badass! Upon arrival, she straight up jumped out of her vehicle with a pair of pruning sheers to trim some branches(obviously she checked in with me first, so freakin considerate!)that could have caused a problem for her amazing business on wheels! Anyway, she arrives and is warm, kind and welcoming right away.
I instantly felt at ease. AND so did my cat! Don't get me wrong, my cat is not ferocious in the least, she's just a scaredy-cat! And there she was, chillin on Carrie's lap while we chatted! Carrie finished the haircut quickly and meticulously. My cat looked like a new woman! I could tell she was super happy and way more comfy with her new do! Most of all, it was so lovely to know my little boo boo kitty was safe and well loved right in my driveway! Not to mention the stress it saved my lil critter to not have to endure two car rides in one day! GROOVY GROOMING deserves all the love. Prices are perfect. You will not be disappointed!

Carrie was our Pogo's groomer for years and always did a great job. We moved to Reno about 9 months ago and can't find any groomer who is comparable to Groovy Grooming, so we drove back to Santa Rosa and Carrie fit Pogo into her schedule and did her usual amazing job. He looks great, and we'll be back regularly. It's worth the trip! Thanks, Carrie!

Carrie was wonderful with my longhaired older cat. She had developed mats all over her back and chest. Being older and overweight she was not able to keep up on her grooming. We decided that a full lion cut would benefit her most. She has had mats removed only one other time in her life but never a full body shave. This was a first. I stayed and observed lending my kitty moral support. She was a champ.
The only time she was a little annoyed was her belly shave. She is touchy about us even petting her belly so this did not surprise me. We were also 45 min to an hour into the groom by then, but in Carrie's wonderful air-conditioned unit it was so comfortable. My 11-year-old LeeLoo will be comfortable for months now, and Carrie's prices are reasonable and competitive. Too bad I can't give her 10 STARS!

Carrie did an incredible job cleaning up an over weight, elderly rescue shepherd mix dog! The poor dog was very dirty and matted, hadn't been brushed in years. I had done my best with a slicker and a comb, but the mats were beyond me. After Carrie spent 1.5 hours on her she looked and smelled great! Carrie did all this for free through the rescue group. Her service should be called Goddess Grooming!
