I know Wag is known for boarding and daycare but have you tried their grooming?! Rachel grooms my doodles and she's the best! They love going there and they look SO good when they get back! Pro tip: take your dog in for half an all day play session and end your day with a grooming appointment. When you pick up your dog(s) they'll be super clean and nap the rest of the day :)

I am so glad I found Wag Hotel in Oakland. Both my daughter and I work and when our dog was left at home all day he paid the price. It seemed to take a while for him to snap him out of a trance and then he had the entire days worth of energy to burn off. Not good for him or us! Now we take him to Wag in Oakland on our working days. He gets to socialize with the group of dogs his size and play with them all day. We can check in on him during business hours via the Wag Cam. From time to time we find it necessary to board him ... read more

Our dog loves Wag Hotels for both boarding and grooming. We've been patrons since 2016. The staff is always attentive and kind there. We just adore Rachel, the groomer. She is so skilled and loving to the animals. You can tell all her doggie clients all love her back. We won't see anyone else for grooming. There are, surprisingly, lots of unkind groomers who should not be working with animals. :-( We're so glad to know someone who is both compassionate towards animals and is a very skilled groomer.

We have been taking our mini-poodle, Claire, for grooming here for the past few years. The reason is Rachel who grooms Claire so she looks super cute afterwards. Rachel's gentle manner with Claire, who gets very nervous with strangers, is also another reason we keep coming back. The front office staff is always friendly, too, in ensuring a safe and welcoming environment.

Ever since our little pup, Peanut was born, we only had one groomer, which is Rachel. The first time Peanut got a haircut, she was super adorable. We live in San Francisco and Rachel worked at the SF Wags at the time. We heard she transferred to the Wags in Oakland, we commuted each time. 4 years later and Rachel still grooms Peanut. Rachel is a hard worker, very kind to our little Peanut, and super friendly. We don't trust anyone else with our pup!

We love taking our Doodle, Eddy, to Wag Hotel. It's a great place for him to socialize, and the staff are always caring and friendly. We especially appreciate Rachel, who does grooming for our dog. His hair gets long and matted and she does a superb job with his cut each and every time. Eddy can also be nervous around people, but Rachel is so good with dogs. He is always comfortable with her. Can't recommend them enough!

Wag Hotel is the best- Thai always feel safe and comes home looking amazing after her grooming. Rachel does a amazing job! She give special care to Thai - who is a senior and is sensitive to people approaching her. I am a satisfied customer and I appreciate the great care they give Thai!

My mini schnauzer, Lola, is my entire world. I've always been selective of the people responsible for her care, especially groomers. We've lived on the east coast and west coast, so we've seen our fair share of groomers over the years. It's not even close, Rachel is the absolute best groomer, period. Like most dogs, my Lola's not a big fan of bath time. After only a few grooms, Rachel had developed such a special bond with Lola. To the point, on grooming day, when I'd say, want to see Rachel, Lola's ears would perk... read more

We love Wag Hotels! The staff is so friendly and they always remember our Meteo. I've written a review in the past but wanted to add another review for Rachel who is the groomer at Wag. She has done a great job with our 14.5 year old Coton de Tulear, Meteo. She's so accommodating knowing he's an older dog and is so gentle with him. He comes home looking so handsome! Thankful to the Wag Hotel family for taking care of our pup.
