A Passionate Team Behind Every Grooming Service

At Mutt Hut Pet Grooming, our reputation for high-quality pet and dog grooming services is built on the dedication, experience, and compassion of our team. Since opening our doors in 1993, we’ve remained committed to providing a grooming experience that is not only professional but also genuinely caring.


We understand that leaving your dog with a groomer requires trust. That’s why we focus on building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Many of our clients have been with us for years, and their continued loyalty speaks to the level of care and consistency we provide every day.


Our team is made up of experienced dog groomers who take pride in their work and treat every pet as if they were their own.

Meet Robert – Owner & Lead Dog Groomer

At the heart of Mutt Hut Pet Grooming is Robert, the owner and lead groomer who has been serving the Highland, CA community for decades. Known by customers as “awesome,” “great,” and “a very nice man,” Robert has built a strong reputation for both his grooming skills and his genuine love for animals.


With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Robert has worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. His approach is rooted in patience, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what each dog needs to feel comfortable during grooming.


Clients often mention that Robert treats dogs better than their owners do—and that’s not an exaggeration. His calm demeanor and gentle handling make even the most nervous pets feel at ease. Whether it’s a routine trim or a full grooming session, Robert ensures that every dog leaves looking great and feeling relaxed.

A Team That Truly Cares About Your Pet

While Robert leads the way, the entire team at Mutt Hut Pet Grooming shares the same values: compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail. Every groomer on our team is trained to handle dogs with care, ensuring that each visit is a positive experience.


We know that no two dogs are alike. Some are energetic and playful, while others may feel anxious or uncertain in a grooming environment. Our team takes the time to understand each pet’s personality and adjusts their approach accordingly.


This personalized care is what sets us apart from larger, high-volume grooming shops. Here, your dog is never just another appointment—they’re part of our extended family.

Experienced with All Breeds and Temperaments

One of the reasons pet owners trust Mutt Hut Pet Grooming is our ability to work with a wide variety of dogs. From small companion breeds to larger, more active dogs, we have the experience and confidence to handle them all.

Special Care for Senior and Special-Needs Dogs

As dogs age, their grooming needs change. Older pets often require a gentler touch, more time, and a deeper level of understanding. At Mutt Hut Pet Grooming, we take pride in providing specialized care for senior dogs and those with special needs.


Our team is experienced in handling dogs who may have:


  • Limited mobility
  • Vision or hearing impairments
  • Increased sensitivity or anxiety
  • Medical conditions that require extra attention


We take all of these factors into account during the grooming process, ensuring your pet remains comfortable and safe from start to finish. Many of our long-time clients continue to trust us with their pets well into their senior years because they know we will treat them with the care they deserve.

Commitment to Safe, Organic Grooming Practices

Another important part of our team’s approach is our commitment to using organic grooming products. We believe that what goes on your dog’s skin matters just as much as the grooming itself.


Our products are carefully selected to be gentle, effective, and safe for dogs with sensitive skin. This not only improves the grooming results but also helps maintain your pet’s overall health and comfort.


By combining high-quality products with skilled grooming techniques, our team delivers results that both you and your dog will appreciate.
