Since moving from Daly City to Fairfield, it's been tough finding a groomer for Kalu & Leiah out here... either the groomer no longer took new clients or they were fully booked months ahead. I set out to find a groomer w/the help of Yahoo's project feature and lead me to Smarty Paws Grooming. Megan contacted me quickly and was able to secure an appointment within the next week and was thrilled since she was local. It's 6 months later and we couldn't be happier to have found Megan. She's friendly, knowledgeable and she listens to all your concerns. If you need or looking for new groomer, please come see Megan! Kalu & Leiah are always looking so fresh & clean every time they see her. : ) read more

Megan was so nice and took the time to get acquainted with my dog. my dog looks like he went to a spa. He looks great, I highly recommend.

Megan is the best!!! I love her ... our dogs love her!!! It's a win-win. Megan always honors our requests and our dogs come out looking and smelling good!! Look no further!! There is no better feeling then leaving your fur babies with someone you can trust read more

I was having a hard time finding a local groomer that was accepting new clients and was also reasonably priced. I found Megan's listing and saw that she had great reviews and decided to give her call. For a basic bath, blow dry, face and body trim plus nail clip on my Maltipoo it was $85+tip (prices vary by size of dog and other factors, check her service options). Megan operates her grooming space out of her garage at home, but keeps my pup comfortable and distracted with a large TV that she keeps tuned to Dog TV stations or videos. Scheduling with Megan is all done online and easy to do. Confirmation emails are sent after you book and reminder texts come when the groom is a week or less away. My dog enjoys going to Megan's and comes back clean, smelling wonderful and evenly trimmed with no ridges on her body. Megan cares about animals and treats my precious pup as if she were her own. I'm so thankful to have found Megan and intend to continue using her for regular grooming maintenance. Thanks Megan! read more

My husband and I were looking for a new groomer for our four-year-old Pug. We previously had her groomed at Petco; however, during our last visit with them, it was very apparent that they did not clean her face (which was still dirty). After that experience, we decided to look for a new groomer. I searched on Yelp and found Smarty Paws, who luckily was still accepting new clients. We recently had our girl groomed by Megan at Smarty Paws. Right off the bat, I enjoyed my conversation with Megan. You can tell that she enjoys working with dogs and is overall very knowledgeable about them. She was very patient with my dog, who was hesitant/anxious since she thought she was going to Lola's (meaning Grandma in Tagalog) house but ended up at a new groomer. After the appointment, Megan also gave me great tips on how to clean the wrinkles on my dog's face and her curly tail. Customer service was amazing! Megan established good communication with me prior to my dog's appointment. She texted me once she was finished washing my little girl. When I pulled up, she was outside giving her treats while she sat in the driveway waiting for me. I knew right then, that my dog had a blast with her. She did an amazing job grooming my dog. Bella (my dog) was super soft once I picked her up. Her face was cleaned well, her coat was de-shedded, and she trimmed down her side nail that would usually scratch my husband or me whenever she jumped on us. Even my mom was raving about how soft her coat was! Overall, my husband and I are extremely satisfied with Megan's work. She was very patient and did an amazing job handling and grooming Bella. We look forward to having her groom and train Bella in the near future. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

Our dog, Dakota, is the center of our world. We brought him home at 9 weeks old and all of 17lbs. Yes his paws were huge, but at that time we failed to realize what that really meant. " Maybe he'll be about 60-70lbs?"...boy were we wrong! At 1 year old he was 90lbs! He is the 2nd dog to be part of our family (RIP Bella), and we vowed that this time we would properly train our pup...blah, blah, blah. We taught him the basic commands, but it didn't help when he would see a cat and yank the leash with all his might! My husband and I had regular visits to the chiropractor! Also when he would see another dog, he would jump with excitement and pull us along for the ride. We knew we needed a professional's help before it was too late, and before he hurt us or someone else, or another dog! So we called Megan at Smarty Paws, and it was the best thing we ever did. He was about 10 months old and we were so worried that maybe we waited too long, and we definitely did. But Megan was still able to help us with Dakota, and give us the necessary tools, so that we were more equipped to handle such a big dog! Before Megan, we didn't walk Dakota, he walked us! He would pull where he wanted to go, and it took a lot of strength to overpower him. Megan went back to the basics and showed us what we were doing wrong. Together we learned to create boundaries for him and when to properly reward him, and the right way to correct him. Before long he was like a new dog! Megan has a no nonsense approach. Funny thing is our Dakota loves Megan to pieces! When he sees her its like he's seeing one of us, like she is part of the family. But he also knows that Megan is all about order and structure and he obeys her every command and hangs on every word. Bottom line is, Dakota is still a work in progress, but he is a night and day difference as to how he used to be. Our walks with him are so pleasant. Never ever would we have dreamed that he would ever get to walk off-leash, but he can now, safely. People will stop us and say, "Your dog is so well behaved, and he listens so well!" And we just think, " If you only knew how he used to be." I started this saying Dakota is the center of our world. He is a couch hogger and a bed stealer, and always thinks it's "walk-o'clock". But of all the things we do for him because we LOVE him, investing into his training with Megan at Smarty Paws was the best thing we could have ever do for him to show him our love. He is more calm. He is more confident. He trusts that we are in control, and that makes him feel safe. I consider Dakota a success story. I would recommend Smarty Paws to anyone considering training. It has been life changing for Dakota and our family, and I'm sure it will be for you as well. read more

Megan is a wonderful groomer and person. We were lucky to have come across her here on Yelp. She is a true 5 star groomer and friend for our furry family. My pups are always happy and healthy when they get picked up after their spa day with Megan. She really cares and it shows. She has been flexible, understanding and non judgmental. Especially when I take my pups in, in not the greatest shape. The very best part is she does not just shave your dog and give them them a rat cut when they is some matting in the coat. She gives you options and always stays in communication. She also sends pictures with updates while your fur babies are being groomed. Megan is a great option for nervous or anxious dogs, as she is so gentle and even puts music and doggie tv on for them. I highly recommend Megan for a more personalized 5 star experience. read more

Another gem found through Yelp. My Goldendoodle and Standard Poodle had their first service with owner, Megan, at Smarty Paws. It can be challenging to find groomers who will take TWO large dogs especially those with hair and need a higher level of maintenance. First, contacting this business was a breeze. I sent a request through Yelp and Megan promptly responded. She has an organized system for communicating, providing client information, and observing the menu of services, which is detailed. Megan also responds promptly to text messages and provides reminders/updates. Now for the services...My Standard Poodle came out literally SPARKLING! It reminded me if the movie Twilight when Edward first revealed himself in the sun to Bella and his skin was sparkling. My poodle smelled soooo good and she was fluffy soft. She still smells good days later! Her nails were polished black making them look nice and shiny too. I could tell my poodle loved her bath by the way she pranced around the rest of the day. The next day I took my Goldendoodle. He was the first to use their new bath! He also came out looking soft, shiny, and fluffy smelling soooo good! His ears were very stinky and she used a technique to get the odor out! His ears now smell like eucalyptus! Both furbabies were also thoroughly dried. Megan definitely spoiled them with love, care and fun during their services. Megan uses high quality products and she enjoys spoiling her clients. This is evident in the way she communicates how the service went to pet parents. I appreciate that she took the time to check the clients which helps warm up to them before taking them in. I also appreciated that she requires vaccination records. Not all groomers check. Megan provided photo updates during the services and gave enough notice to let me know when they would be ready. We would highly recommend Megan! read more

I have found the best kept secret in Groomers in the Fairfield/Suisun City area. I have been taking my golden doodle to Smarty Paws since the later part of last year. I have been so impressed with her work. She handles the pets very well. She is so intuitive and sensitive to me and the style that I might want. When I pick my fur baby up I can't stop smiling at the end results. I've never been disappointed. She sets up my appointments with times and days that work for me and my husband, and she is always there waiting for us. I am so pleased with her services I felt the need to share how impressed I am with her work. Jazz E. read more

Highly recommend! We've been bringing our red retriever to Smarty Paws for at least 2 years now. Even though our dog is a swimmer, she really does not like her baths, but Megan has a firm yet gentle way of getting her to relax and cooperate. Her prices are reasonable and she a does beautiful job. Our pup looks and smells great when we pick her up. We also appreciate Megan's flexibility with our schedule, and we don't mind driving to and from her place. Totally worth it! read more

Megan is fantastic! My female Great Pyrenees absolutely hates the bath and she is so patient working with her. I was having difficulty finding a groomer due to her size and she gets very nervous around other barking dogs - so being the only client at one time really works great for her. She comes back a new shade of white, super soft and smelling great. Before and after pics below! read more

I've been coming to Megan for my dog's grooming for about a year now. Talk about dog whisperer. Henry was one anxious dog when she met him. She worked with him monthly, and now he is more calm and cooperative with his baths and nail clipping (which is not his favorite activity). She is extremely knowledgeable about the animals she services that I take advantage of the grooming sessions and ask all of my pet care questions during those times. I drive 20 minutes to see her because she is worth it. Highly recommend. read more

I adopted a 10+ y/o male shih tzu from a shelter. He was rescued as a stray with no history and named Ebeneezer. As his name implies, he could be a grouch and was very nervous around new people. Shih tzus definitely need grooming. When I learned that Megan also had experience with training dogs, I gave her a call and she was willing to take my fur baby on as a new client. I appreciate that Megan scheduled only one client during appointments. I love that Megan sent me pictures during my fur baby's appointment. Grooming him was definitely a work in progress and eventually after several visits, he would let her groom him completely, My Ebeneezer has passed away now. He was a handful, but he was my beautiful fur baby. I am so grateful that Megan was there to help his beauty shine. read more

Megan was amazing with my little Pom! I initially picked her grooming business because she had experience with other double-coated dogs and I wanted someone knowledgable about caring for my Pomeranian's coat-type. I brought my dog in for a deshedding and trim and she came out looking exactly how I wanted. Megan lets the dogs set the pace for their grooming so that they don't become overly stressed and get a positive experience with grooming, which is important to me. I love that she does music therapy and massages for the dogs during the session to keep the experience relaxing for them. At the end of the session, she even gave my Pom a new squeaky toy to take home as a new customer (which our other dog promptly stole, lol). I'm thrilled with the service I got and plan to come back to Megan next time my girl needs a groom. read more

Megan definitely has the magic touch with our dog. She can get our dog to take a bath and get her haircut easily ( she dislikes having her nails done but Megan manages it with ease.) She has a lot of knowledge about dogs, training and the best way to get the job done. Our dog can't stop giving her kisses when she is done plus our dog loves to see and interact with her dogs. We always love the way she looks and smells. Megan is flexible with scheduling and requests. I drive a distance but definitely want someone that I know does a great job and I trust. She is the best! read more

My Meiling had a COVID hairstyle for quite some time. My groomer moved to Davis and no other groomer would take new clients due to COVID. Out of desperate need I watched Youtube vids so I can groom her myself. As you can see in the before photos I tried cut Meiling's hair. I gave her a choppy 80's rock n' roll look. I got super nervous when I got to the matted hair because I could not tell what was matted or what was skin. Then one day the heavenly gates opened and the angels sang Megan's name. I reached out, lo and behold, Megan accepted Meiling! Megan worked on Meiling for quite a long while. My poor Meiling was seriously matted every where. When I picked her up Megan carried her out to me. I screamed with such happiness. She looked like an adorable lil' puppy again. Love! Also important, Megan made Meiling feel comfortable and safe during the whole process. Megan, the angels were right, you are truly a blessing! read more

First off, it's really hard to find a good groomer. My husband and I have been looking for someone who we can trust to do our fur babies grooming. Due to The pandemic our original groomer was not taking any appointments. We needed to find a groomer fast. I came on yelp to search and I came across smarty paws. Why not so I gave them a try. Let me tell you. She did such an amazing job! My babies have never looked so freshly groomed. I know they feel so much better after. I highly recommend. She takes her time with them one on one, and she doesn't rush like other places do. Will be going back to her for my fur babies. Thanks again! read more

Will not look elsewhere. Our Bernedoodle had a 1:1 pampering session with Megan for 5 hours! She even had a playlist of his preferred music to make him feel at home. We got him back feeling happy and relaxed and had a restful night. Today, he's just more comfortable and mat free. She even went over tips for doodle hair maintenance so he won't have the same issues. She genuinely cares for the pet's well-being! We are soooo blessed to have found her! read more

We acquired our little dog, Lucy, from our grandson who had rescued her. We have no information regarding her life prior to his rescue. She is extremely fear aggressive. I was desperate to find a groomer for her and had sent out messages to several groomers with only negative responses and then Megan messaged me saying she would be willing to take on this task. I have been taking Lucy to her for several months now and she does a wonderful job. I just cannot say enough good things about Megan and Smarty Paws. read more

Megan was just so wonderful with my Mini Aussie. We had had a traumatizing time with the groomers we saw back in Indiana so I wanted to make sure Archer got to get used to and trust again. Megan did exactly that. She met him where he was and did a wonderful job! When I picked him up he was super comfortable with her and wanted to make himself at home. If you want someone that truly cares about your pet and takes their feeling into consideration, look no further. We are so looking forward to our future appointments with her! read more

Had the opportunity to meet Megan and her pup Ryker at a local park and was impressed at how well trained and handsome her pup is. I decided to take my oldest 10month old GSD and let me just say Megan did an AMAZING job with not just my oldest but my youngest GSD 5 month old. I had requested a full grooming experience, SO worth it! You all can imagine the energy these pups can have and when I picked them up they were calm and patiently waiting with her. I love that they were comfortable with her as this was their first time experience at a professional groomer. Megan has shown great professionalism and can clearly tell she loves what she does from the time she greats her fur clients to when they leave her. read more

Megan is absolutely wonderful! My dog (standard poodle) Phoebe has always been a nervous around groomers but Megan put her at ease. She took the time to get to know her, to make sure she was comfortable and I loved that I got pictures of the process! Not only was Phoebe at ease and genuinely happy and comfortable with Megan when I picked her up, but she had the best haircut she's had. I couldn't be happier with my experience- you want to trust your pup with someone who will treat them like their own and Megan did just that. read more

Megan is amazing, we had a meet & greet today. I have been looking for help with my Scooby Doo for a while. He is an anxious dog, super sweet but can be a handful. I felt so at ease with her and she has a wealth of knowledge on everything dog. I almost cried tears of joy when I left there. Wonderful experience and I learned so much about my fur baby. Glad I found her. read more

Megan is awesome! She is training my 2 yr old (Border Collie/Pitt mix) and 1 yr old (GSD/Husky mix). And training me, to maintain what she's teaching The progress made each training session is great. She doesn't rush anything, and always has great advice. She knows her stuff, and it shows in everything she does. read more

I don't even know where to begin about how grateful I am to have found Megan. If you're reading this review, you probably know, like I do how difficult it is to find a groomer in the bay area these days. I moved to Napa in March of this year and have struggled to find ANYONE that will take new appointments. I have two pomskies which are a mix of pomeranian and siberian husky and require a lot of upkeep. They also have double coats which require special attention and need to be cared for correctly. Megan groomed both of my pups to perfection the first times that we went. My little one has a lot of anxiety about the groomer in general but Megan was patient and gentle with her and she came out looking perfect and not at all stressed out. Both dogs tend to get matted and Megan got everything combed out perfectly. I meant to write this review a couple of weeks ago, but after what happened today, I had to sit down immediately when I got home and get to business. Last night my dog Jax was sprayed in the face by a skunk. It was in his eyes and all over him and he (and we ) were miserable. I did the best I could on my own, but texted Megan hopefully this morning. Despite the incredibly tight calendar she has, she cleared time for him today at noon and worked on him ALL AFTERNOON to help him recover. She always texts throughout the procedure to give me updates on how he is doing, even sending photos along the way. Today she also noticed that he had additional matting in his undercoat and spent an extra hour combing him out. I cannot express how much it meant to me the time and attention she took with my dog. She even helped me pick out the right kind of grooming comb and showed me how to work on his mats so they won't get so bad. She is a true professional and cares about the animals she is working with. I drive 35 miles one way to see her, but I would drive double that if I had to. Please give her your business - you'll thank me!i read more

Megan is worth her weight in gold. There are days when I question why I thought getting a second dog was a good idea. Fortunately Megan has been there from the start, coaching me on how best to manage a 10 year old and now 6 month old GSPs. It hasn't been easy but with Megan's help we are now at least somewhat sane in this household. feeding time is night and day compared to what it was like before Megan. Walks are also night and day compared to what it was like before. We will now refer to before and after Megan as BM and AM. read more

Would recommend! read more
