We have two dogs that by spring usually transform into dust bunnies, and another who is incredibly fearful of groomers and vets--to the point of having bitten the vet without a muzzle. This grooming salon has been nothing short of miraculous, managing to groom my anxious pup with gentle hands and no muzzle needed! All three of my dogs come out looking adorable: my girl sports charming pigtails, my young boy rocks a Mohawk and beard, and my senior dog's fresh trim makes him look like a youthful puppy again. I've been a loyal customer for years and can wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful doggie spa!

Excellent groomer. We take both our dogs to Houndsville=Excellence x2. MiSo has been going there for two plus years. 15 week old Zorro had his first pro grooming experience this week.

Mati and her team are so caring and professional. I'm grateful to have discovered Houndsville on a fluke as I was driving by. I have a small dog who can be VERY skittish around other dogs, but especially being groomed. It gives me peace of mind to know that they are treating my Lola as if she were one of their own:)

My dog is not a big fan of people outside the family; not aggressive, just rather be left alone. But he LOVES Mati; we followed her to Houndsville from her prior workplace because he barely let me clip his nails, but she can do a full and perfect groom and he is still thrilled to see her. He is always happy to go, which is amazing and so great to see.

Mati is the very best, and the entire Houndsville team is wonderful. My dog is nervous around people outside those he sees frequently, but LOVES Mati and is actually happy to be dropped off. The job they do is fabulous, and we are so grateful to have Houndsville available because when I first got my labradoodle, I thought I could do the grooming myself - I was so very wrong.

One of the best groomers if your dog needs a trim, but, is afraid!! The fee is unbelievably low compared to others around!!!

Mati is the best groomer I've had in 27 years. She does a beautiful job with my Wheaten Terrier. Can't recommend her more highly.

They take supreme care of our 4 legged children and make them look and feel great while helping to rectify their mud, dirt and sand proclivities. Would not be as happy in San Rafael without Houndsville as our go-to pet care family!

I've been going there for over a year and while they do a fabulous grooming job the business practices are very inconsiderate. Twice my appointment has been confirmed in advance and I have shown up and they are unable to take my dog. The male groomer says he's unaware of the schedule and that the owner does not leave him the book and that he had no idea my dog was supposed to be groomed that day. I also have had a very difficult time getting any response to my texts or calls-This is been going on for months and months.While I empathize with the health condition of the owner, this time I flew in from my trip the night before and was delayed until after midnight. I had to pick up my dog from being boarded after landing,and set my alarm to keep my appointment. I was absolutely flabbergasted as my appointment was confirmed via text on December 15 yet I showed up on January 3 and was told there was no record and they did not have room for us that day. They also did not offer any alternative. Not even an apology just an excuse over her health issues.This is no way to do business!

I kept searching for a groomer in Marin county for my mothers shy and timid puppy, when I came across this business. I am so happy we found Juan and his team. They made Yago's experience as comfortable as possible and he received his first official grooming! We were very excited as he had been too scared to be groomed by anyone else in the past. Definitely will keep coming back here!

This is our second time getting a cut for Gotti at Houndsville and all I have to say is wow! My pup looks like a brand new dog. Mati is great and very professional. Thank you and we will keep coming back.
