Marianne is a wonderful groomer and does and excellent job with my king charles caviler Josh. I would recommend her to anyone. She is great with Josh and he always looks adorable when she’s done.

We love Marianne! Our sweet rescue had a past of abuse from human and other animals so she was very skeptical of others. Marianne was so patient with Kailee! She gave us great tips for home care and helping Kailee overcome some issues. We just had our third visit and Kailee was very receptive to Marianne grooming and cutting nails! What I like most is that Marianne’s main focus is the animal she is working on. She wants them to have a positive experience! She is very patient and allows plenty of time between appoitments. At one point Kailee decided she needed a break from grooming and Marianne did just that! I can see she not only does great grooming but shows great compassion to her clients. Marianne is a woman with a big heart and integrity. So glad I found her! Thank you for all you do Marianne!

Marianne has been grooming my dog Charley for over a year. We had a TERRIBLE grooming experience at PetSmart, and Charley would not even let me brush him after that. I read Stacey C’s review of Marianne and decided to try her out.
She has turned my brush-​fearing, shaking Wheaten (who has hair, not fur, and thus must be brushed often) into a grooming loving dog. She treats him with love and affection and he adores her. He gets excited now when we pull into her driveway.
She isn’t mobile anymore, grooming dogs from her garage instead — but she does great work and recently even gave Charley a bonus hot oil treatment, as his skin was dry. He has been soft, and not chewing, for days now.
Thanks Marianne!

This was the WORST grooming experience I’ve had in the 8 months since I adopted my dog. First of all, it’s no longer a mobile service. You go to the groomer’s home, where her garage is set up for the job. I was given a choice to stay & watch, or to leave. I decided to stay & watch. Well, I had to HELP groom the dog, because with me around he had no intention of sitting still for the grooming! The groomer kept asking him why he didn’t like her. We ended up having to put a muzzle on the dog to keep him from nipping at her. And it was the most uneven, most horrible cut he’s ever had! I would never recommend this place.

When I first adopted my dog Nicholas (a Lhasa Apso) from a rescue organization, he HATED the groomer and anyone touching him. This is because Nicholas was attacked by two Chows before we adopted him and lost his eye, tail, and a toe due to the violent attack. He was terrified of people hurting him and growled when people tried to brush or wash him.
I asked my vet for a great, patient groomer who had that «special» touch with difficult animals, and this is who she referred me to. Marianne is one of the most patient people I have ever met. After 3 months of working slowly and carefully with Nicholas, he stopped giving us problems when we brush him at home and he stopped giving her any issues when she grooms him. He even lets her clip his nails… a big step for him since he’s missing a toe. She does a beautiful job on him and our other dog, Lily — check out my photos of him on my Unilocal profile to see what I mean!
She is simply amazing. We stay the whole time she grooms Nicholas so we know firsthand how great she is with pets.
We have also used Marianne for her dog sitting and walking services. She always leaves us a little note letting us know what the dogs did and how they did on their walk — another special touch that we appreciate as doting pet-​owners.
