Santiago did an amazing job with Olivia, my Goldendoodle! It was her first time getting professionally groomed, so I was a little nervous as to how she'd do. She was also matted because her thick, tight curls are hard to comb out. She came back looking fantastic for a very reasonable price! It's like a whole new dog. Olivia was excited to see me when I arrived to pick her up, but ran back to snuggle Santiago before leaving. It was obvious he cares about the dogs he's grooming, and they love him too! Will definitely be returning.

Santi is not only a great groomer, but he does truly love dogs. An American Eskimo Dog is always a challenge but he comes home happy and beautiful.

I wasn't happy with the service! He didn't trim the paws and nails weren't cut hardly at all! I can trim her hair better and I will from No on!!! $97. !!!

Santy is a great groomer. He has treated our fur daughter with a lot of care. We have requested our schnoodle, Naya, to be trimmed like a schnauzer for along time at many groomers, but she always comes out as looking like a poodle. Santy did the cut we requested and could not be happier. Our little fur ball is never scared when we pick her up. Thank you Santy!!!!!

I brought my friends dog in for a de-shag of an enormous amount of fur and bath. Dog was very happy throughout entire visit. Excellent price.

Took my pups there once, good baths but that's about it. No toenails cut, my terrier didn't seem to have anything groomed. Poodle mix looked pretty good, but not great. Cost $175, tipped $25. Because I'm new in town I booked again, but was sick and couldn't go. Now no response to phone calls, in which I apologized. Would not recommend.

My dog Luna, looked amazing after her first haircut! He's responsive, not booked out too far and did an incredible job cleaning up my shih tzu fur baby! 10/10!

I've brought my pup here since he was 6 mos old. They always do a good job, they charge less than others and are gentle. See after & before photos. So cute❣️

Upon entering Santiago’s almost hidden and hard to see pet grooming salon, my toy poodle and I feel as if we’ve entered a magically hidden oasis out of a Harry Potter film. Unassuming and organically pleasing to the senses, Alta Vista Pet Salon boasts a peaceful atmosphere with calming energy and angelic paintings, angels, plants and a pastel colored mural on the wall. And then there is this warm and caring, artistic owner and groomer Santiago. “I’m taking you to Santa” I tell my toy poodle “and you’re going to be very happy with your haircut!”! As an anxious poodle mama, Santiago greets us with a genuine and warm energy, reassuring me that she would be in excellent hands - and she was. I look forward to our return again and am comforted to have finally found such a wonderful groomer to go to in Monterey. Thank you Santiago! T & F ?

I always feel at ease when I take my baby to be groomed here. She is "special needs" and is deaf and has no jaw or teeth so I worried the first time I took her in but she was relaxed and happy when I picked her up and she looks great!

Such a great place. Santiago is really great with my labradoodle. You can tell he really cares and is doing what he loves. My doggie's tale is always wagging when I pick him up. This place was recommended by a friend and now I tell all the dog parents about this place too!

Do we have to tell you how much we love Santi- the owner of Alta Vista Pet Salon!! It is not a chic grooming salon nor are the prices. Yeah! Remember they don't accept credit cards. Santi is the absolute best when it comes to working with our fur babies. So many people complain of injuries happening when taking their furry companions to groomers. We are so happy for Santi who takes good care of our energetic high strung Labradoodle, Yeshe! Thank you Santi for all that you do! She comes home with a different colored bow every time!

Brought my dog in for a long overdue nail clipping and received outstanding service from the groomer. Not only did he take my dog in for a quick trim last minute, but ie did a beautiful job. We will be returning.

Santi always provides the best service plus my dog always comes out happy after picking her up, so it feels good to know she's in a safe environment after dropping her off! Thanks Santi for grooming and taking care of our fur babies!
