Marci is such a sweetheart! She is the dog whisperer. She only works on one dog at a time, which I really appreciate. My doggie gets really excited when she sees her. And she always comes back with the perfect groom! I'm so glad I found Marci! read more

Marci is amazing at what she does and so patient with our Emma. Emma is a Havanese and was matted everywhere before coming to Marci Most groomers would go straight to shaving her down, but Marci took her time; bathed her, brushed her, and trimmed her. Would definitely recommend! read more

Marci did a fabulous job with my Morkie and Havanese! They looked fantastic after the appointment -- coats were shiny, perfectly trimmed, and smelled so fresh! They look like they're ready to enter a dog show! Marci gave me helpful tips on maintaining my dog's coats between visits and was very knowledgeable about dog care in general. My pups left happy, wagging their tails, and looking their absolute best! I'll definitely be making this our regular grooming spot from now on. Thank you Marci! read more

To start, I just want to say how kind and patient Marci was with my Winnie. She truly loves her career and is very passionate about it. Winnie is a rescue with some traumatic past, thus she doesn't easily trust strangers and is reactive with other dogs and most humans. Marci took her time with meeting Winnie, making sure she is comfortable and happy. During grooming, her movements were soft and gentle and she was very patient with Winnie when she whined and / or moved around. Okay, now to grooming part. I brought Winnie in hoping to get her the sheep poodle cut (小羊）which is big in Asia but not so much here. Marci analyzed all the photos I sent her, explained her thought process and did her best to reciprocate. I think she did a great job! Winnie looked so cute and I was really happy! We will be coming back and looking forward to working with Marci again! read more

Our toy poodle got a fabulous Asian fusion cut thanks to Marci! We had tried many groomers before and no one had been able to really "get" the look I was asking for. Marci, who specializes in small breeds, was able to get the job done beautifully! As any fur parent will tell you, the most important thing when you're looking for a groomer is not just the cut, but how the groomer treats your fur baby. Marci is so loving and gentle with the dogs. She takes her time and makes sure that they are comfortable. Truly the best groomer I have ever had the pleasure of working with! read more

My 4 month old puppy Winston got groomed for the first time today. It was important to me to find someone who would be patient and gentle since the grooming process is new to him. Marci did just that and is incredibly sweet. She is very knowledgeable and did an amazing job. She made sure we were on the same page about his cut before she started. She took into consideration Winston's response to being touched, etc & tailored to his needs. She is also very welcoming & friendly, which is a huge plus. I would only trust her with my sweet little boy. Highly recommend! read more

I went with this groomer just because I really needed grooming for my 4 month old "Shorkie" (Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix). I was so pleasantly surprised as Marcie was a very lovely lady who was just all smiles and my puppy just loved her! She gave us a tour of her grooming shop and it was just a very clean, well organized area and it felt comfortable for me and my puppy. I also came with my gorgeous god daughter and she loved the place. She felt very comfortable and liked Marcie right away. Marcie explained what her plan for Archie and told us she will text us when Archie is ready to be picked up. We came back and Archie was so cute in his new hair cut and smelled so good. He was so happy and was so behaved for Marcie. I made my next appointment before leaving as I knew I wanted her to be the regular groomer for Archie and did I mention she only grooms small/toy dogs! Perfect! read more

I can't say enough about how pleased I am with Marci and Toy House Dogs. I've had my little schnoodle Roxie for six years and have been through a lot of groomers! I came to accept that Roxie would just look weird and choppy, growing out too long, getting mats then having to shave her down. Well, Marci took the time to ask what I wanted and made excellent suggestions and now Roxie looks great all the time, like a stuffed animal. People frequently ask me where I go so I've started carrying Toy House cards around to hand out. Marci (and her sweet little doggies) are so kind and gentle that Roxie doesn't shake anymore when it's time for her grooming. I never would have thought I'd find this high quality grooming for my personal pet--I thought only show dogs would get this level of care. So grateful to have found Marci! read more

I am so happy I found Marci! My 2 year old Maltipoo has severe separation anxiety. It's been hard to find a groomer that didn't make me feel like my Ollie was part of an assembly line. When I drop him off he's not shaking like he has with others. She is very kind and provides advice and recommendations for at home care in between appointments. Ollie looks wonderful and smells amazing. Thank you Marci! read more

If we could give Marci 10 stars, we would. We brought our maltipoo and havanese here for grooming and they came out with individualized, banging haircuts. The dogs love her and we trust our dogs in her capable hands. We drive here from Benicia to Walnut Creek. The closer places just didn't have the right vibe for us, or I didn't see as skilled for the particular haircuts we want. (Look, I don't want to go to a place where it looks like their haircuts were just done by me during the pandemic.) Ladies, have you been to a hair salon and a fantastic stylist will be like "The photo of what you want your hair to be...it won't turn out like that because that photo shows a lot of hair in the front, but you don't have that right now, we could work towards that"? Marci is THAT skilled. Our dogs keep getting stopped on the streets to get pets a lot more after grooming. Also, Marci is professional, easy to communicate with, honest, and just plain likable.Thanks again Marci! read more

Second time around coming with Marci and she does not disappoint, I am so glad I found her! She does an amazing job with my fur baby and she is such a sweet person! Once again I am so happy I found her, if I can give her more than 5 stars here I definitely would! Thank you Marci for leaving my baby so handsome each time read more

Without knowing any better (first time dog owner), I had been taking my dog to a place where I would drop her off in the morning and be called for a pick up five or six hours later. Never set foot on the inside. I would bring the dog, someone would open the door a quarter of the way, and snatch my dog away with me yelling "ears not too long please" (all I had time to say before they closed the door again). They would do an adequate job, but my doggie always looked different and never quite right. Then my friend who has a dog the same breed as mine told me about Marci, and I knew then that there was much more to the world of grooming. Marci listened, understood the look I wanted for my Havanese doggie (I like her soft hair short, and her pretty face round), and did an excellent job. Ona looks groomed without looking groomed, which is how I like it! I highly recommend Marci. She's sweet with dogs and humans. read more

I found Toy House Dogs on Yelp, and was not disappointed! She was absolutely wonderful with my anxious puppy, and treated her like family. The owner was even able to get us in the day after I called, which was awesome! Cannot recommend enough. My pup was calm when I picked her up and received so much love while here. read more

Glad I found Toy House Dogs. Marci was quick to respond, and able to schedule our Labradoodle, Ruth, for the next day. Upon arriving I was able to communicate my needs and how I wanted Ruth groomed. We are very happy with Ruth's grooming. Ruth had been groomed one time before, and Toy House Dogs was far superior. All Ruth's needs were taking care of. Today I took Ruth for a walk and had three compliments on her hair cut. We will be returning in the future. read more

I highly recommend Marci, owner and groomer of Toy House Dogs. I have four dogs and have been a client for several years. Marci does an amazing job with my cocker spaniel, Lapo. She knows the proper cut for this breed and is very patient and loving with him despite his random mood swings! I wouldn't trust anyone but Marci to groom my pups. read more

Marci did such a wonderful job with my 7 month old miniature long haired dachshund puppy. It was my puppy's first time at a groomer so she was pretty nervous, but Marci made me feel reassured that she would take it slow and help her feel comfortable. I received updates on my pup during her session and when I picked her up, she was so soft, smelled so good and her hair was cut perfectly. read more

Marci is the sweetest lady, and I completely trust her with my dogs. I'm just disappointed that she didn't trim the legs/feet on both of my dogs. I expected and paid for a full body trim, unfortunately the legs and feet were not touched. I never expect a perfect trim, especially since my littlest one doesn't like being trimmed. Im just kinda confused as to why my other dog didn't get her legs or feet trimmed either. She is nervous, but will let you trim her. I'm not good at trimming my dogs, so I'm slowly trimming their legs and feet a little each day. Very disappointed since I really liked/trusted Marci, but I don't have time to pay full price and then to come home and trim the legs and feet myself. read more

When I first met Marci, owner and groomer of Toy House Dogs, I was a new dog owner. Marci groomed my poodle and she came out looking like a champion. Everywhere I went people stopped me to comment on my pup's beautiful haircut. But it didn't stop there. Marci taught me how to properly care for my poodle's challenging coat at home between grooms so she could stay looking fabulous. When I adopted my Bichon last year, my first phone call was to Marci. My newest addition came out looking like a rock star, but most importantly she adores going to see Marci. How often does that happen. We just love Toy House Poodles. read more

Marci was so great with our little toy poodle!! It was Georgia's first time to the groomer and Marci handled her with care and love. Georgia gets scared easily and is only a tiny 5 pound puppy and Marci instantly made us (and Georgia) feel comfortable! We definitely will be going back to Marci for all future grooming appointments! Thank you, Marci!! read more

I really enjoyed meeting Marci. she was so kind to me and Kevin. He looks amazing and I also got some helpful tips on keeping his fur in good shape between visits. I enthusiastically recommend her for her skills and experience and her love of dogs. read more

Found Marci through Nextdoor Neighborhood and what a great find! She dropped everything and made time in her schedule to groom my foster dog Lana. Lana came into the rescue with a pretty rough shelter shave down and definitely needed a professional to fix her up. Marci was kind and patient and definitely improved Lana's appearance for her pictures that were going to be used on the rescues website. I would not hesitate to use Marci in the future for any dog that needs a good groom. read more

I took my hyper 4 month old sheepadoodle, Shadow, to Marci for his first grooming session and I can't tell you how impressed I was with Marci. She is so knowledgeable and was able to quickly calm my nervous puppy. He came out looking like such a stud by the time she was done with him. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing groomer and she is now the only person allowed to groom my dog. read more
