About

Dog Gone Great Grooming & Nails brings a mobile grooming studio to San Diego's College Area from its base at 6650 Amherst Street, Unit 10A, offering in-home dog and cat grooming across the 92115 ZIP and surrounding neighborhoods. Owner Karimah has groomed for more than 12 years, and her in-home setup eliminates the stress of salon transport by bringing all equipment — including a vacuum-attachment clipper system that captures hair as it cuts — directly to the client's door. Services include full haircuts, baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and sanitary trims, with breed-specific styling for poodle mixes, spaniels, terriers, and double-coated breeds — the same attention to breed-specific care that informs the wellness protocols at College Animal Hospital in College Area. The mess-free vacuum grooming produces a cleaner workspace than traditional table-and-floor setups, and the one-dog-at-a-time format means no cage waiting or multi-animal anxiety during the session. Pet photography and pet-sitting services expand the business beyond grooming, and the mobile format serves College Area, Rolando, and neighborhoods south of SDSU. Amherst Street sits in the residential grid between El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue, and the in-home model means Karimah's client list extends well beyond the immediate address. Anxious, elderly, and mobility-limited dogs are a specialty — the single-animal session structure and familiar home environment reduce the behavioral triggers that high-volume salons can amplify. The grooming approach focuses on handler-led calming techniques, a behavioral sensitivity shared by the patient small-dog handling at The Pink Poodle Pet Salon in College Area. Booking runs through direct phone and text, and the compact scheduling model typically accommodates same-week appointments.
