Marcella’s Mobile Pet Grooming

Please disregard the one star. This is just to indicate that she is no longer taking customers and is not giving out quotes, per my recent phone conversation.

I called Ms. Marcella to inquire about grooming my dog. I was told by her that I worry too much about my dog’s safety and that I should ask my vet for a recommendation for another groomer. I asked about injury or accidents, about cleanliness and whether I could stay during the grooming. If I don’t have concern for my dog then who will… certainly not Ms. Marcella. I don’t know this woman from a hole in the head. She may offer decent grooming (I wouldn’t know) but her manner has a great deal to be desired. She told me that she has nicked the tongue of a dog on THREE separate occasions so all I can say is buyer BEWARE! Call Wine Country Grooming, a much more accommodating business where the owner is a delight and they have an outstanding reputation.

Marcella is the best! Our dog is very shy and nervous, but she loves Marcella. We are always happy with how she looks and the price is very fair. We’ve been using Marcella for a couple years now and we’d highly recommend her!

We have a golden doodle and after trying a few other groomers in town and being unhappy with their grooming style and prices, we found Marcella and gave her a try… Thank Goodness for Marcella! She is great with our doodle, she is very reasonable and Daisy looks great every time! We will never use anyone else.

I was in need of a new dog groomer and after reading the reviews of Marcella, I decided to try her out. What is not to love about the idea of a groomer coming to you?
Well, she did not disappoint. My dog is very shy & wasn’t very excited by the idea of me handing her over to a stranger. However, Marcella is very sweet & by the end made friends with my pup. My pup actually came back wagging her tail. And of course she looks adorable!
Plan ahead with Marcella. She is popular & you’ll need to book in advance. But there is a very obvious reason for her popularity.

A delightful surprise! We lucked out! We called and made an appointment for Marcella to groom our Cairn terrier. Marcella arrived on time! She gathered information from us about our dog. She went to work. Our dog after grooming never looked better. He also seemed to enjoy the whole experience but what dog wouldn’t when you have someone as capable, competent and considerate as Marcella. Over the years we’ve had different dogs and different groomers but hands-​down Marcella is in a class by herself … she’s been the best, no other groomer that we’ve experienced through the years even comes close. We recommend her at the highest level and without any hesitation. Also, her price is competitive, in fact, having come to our home made it easy on our dog and certainly on us.

Excellent! Marcella arrived on time and was a pleasure to deal with. Our one-​year old poodle had a spa experience. He enjoyed the grooming very much and came out looking his best. Marcella was kind enough to explain why she was taking care of certain things, and gave us some guidance on maintenance. Her price was very fair. We are very happy with the service, will call her regularly for new appointments, and highly recommend Marcella’s Mobile Pet Grooming!

we had a blind dog, so obviously we would not want her groomed at a typical groomer establishment. Marcella did a great job with her, at no more cost than if we had to take her somewhere. showed up on time, with minimal stress to our dog. i would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dear Pepper,
I’m not sure why you’re so afraid everything — other dogs, vacuum cleaners, plastic bags, etc — but I really wish you weren’t so afraid of Marcella the mobile pet groomer. She was very, very, nice to you. She gave you treats, she clipped your nails and even carried you up the ramp because you were scared of that too. Next time, I would really appreciate if you could just settle down. You know that was the best bath you’ve ever gotten and she was so gentle!
Love, Mommy

I read about Marcella and her mobile pet grooming service in the Sun newspaper and forgot about her until just recently. The dogs haven’t had a grooming since we moved up to Sonoma full-​time from San Francisco, so they were long overdue.
Marcella showed up in her mobile grooming truck, fully equipped and couldn’t have made the dog grooming experience any better! The dogs loved her and they were so clean you couldn’t recognize them. Marcella gave them each a little scarf/​bandanna and they hopped around like rabbits with excitement.
I might regret posting Marcella’s Mobile Pet Grooming on here, since I don’t want to have to wait to get an appointment, but she and her husband were so great, I just had to post the good review!
