I absolutely love Ashley! She’s the only groomer I trust with my dog Oscar. I have a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix), and she gives him the perfect teddy bear haircut every single time. She’s incredibly talented, patient, and truly cares about the dogs she grooms. Without a doubt, she’s the best groomer my dog has ever had. I can’t recommend Ashley enough!

We had a great time here at dirty dogs! It’s always nice to walk in and feel the love! Brittany and Sam did an incredible job with our Dog! Usually she’s anxious about groomers but Brittany and Sam treated her like a princess.

Brittany is amazing! We have been bringing our dog Mas to Brittany for many years now and she always looks amazing once she is done. The 5 stars are a tribute to the great work of Britany. She truly is the best groomer in San Diego!\nOn a different note, we are not pleased with Dirty Dog's recent price increases ($25 per session). We bring Mas every 2 weeks (bath, bath, haircut, we repeat this sequence every 6 weeks), Together with the 30% price increase from just last year, it has become very expensive to keep Mas looking fresh. It is only that we and Mas love Brittany so much that we keep coming to Dirty Dogs Hillcrest.

Ashley comes highly recommended! Our pup is a senior and has mobility issues (recovered from IVDD) and she has been so supportive and understanding of our wishes to protect him during his appointments. She takes such good care of him and his cuts are super consistent. In the past he has hated going to the groomer, but now with Ashley he loves going to the groomer and walks right in. On top of that, the staff is fantastic and we appreciate the clean and calm environment offers for both people and pets.

Joleene has been my dog's best friend and groomer for the past year and I couldn't be happier. She always is transparent if something seems wrong with my dog and is always thorough with her work. My pup is a 61 lbs pitty bulldog mix with short hair and is always at ease in the building. Not to mention the staff remember her and always stop by for a little loving. Great staff and great care.
