Chateau Marmutt

I have come to love this place as much as my dog does. He is so happy every time I drop him off. They have doggie trampolines and plenty of balls for each of the doggies to wrestle with. They really seem to care-​which is so important because my dog is like family to me and his happiness is all that matters.

My dog got sick with bloody stools … Never happened before and I feel they dont take dog out enough…

château marmutt is the very best of dog daycare, providing attention to all of the dogs, plus amazing and personal service geared to our beloved’s every needs, with loving, smart, sincere staff and owner. château is stocked with tons of goodies and necessities for all of our dog’s needs. my beloved dog has been going since he was a baby. he’s now 11 years old and when i tell him we’re going to château, he’s excited to get into the car! they provide the very best service, kindness, and attention to detail. i wish there were more stars to give them!!! thank you château!

They are extremely professional and genuinely LOVE dogs! I bring my Lab Maddie there all the time and I can tell she loves it there because she’s always SO excited to go in! They give each dog so much love and they offer natural hypo-​allergenic baths which is always what I prefer for my very sensitive lab! Thank you guys for always taking care of us! We’ll see you soon!

I love château marmutt and trust them absolutely with my little baby scout. They are terrific at grooming him/​daycare and overnight. I have been going to CM for over a year and highly recommend them. The staff is friendly and really get to know the dogs and owners!

Amazing dog day care by far! I love that my rambunctious, I wanna play all the time «chow chow charlie» has such a good time! It’s super cute, when I pick her up from an overnight… she cries as we pull away!!!
charlie’s happy mommy’s happy!

I took my Yorkie to get groomed here. Reasonable price for the area ($ 60 for a puppy cut), and the staff was very friendly. They did a great job!

Best pet care on the planet. Natalie that works there is also a true gem. I feel good taking my pet here. It’s clean, caring and reasonable.

This place is fantastic! They do a great job with my timid pup who is quite large. He always seems refreshed and ready to flaunt after we leave. Great prices and great staff! I recommend this place to all the dog owners I know and meet. Thanks!!!

My pups and I love this place. I have two pups, one that is a little feisty and so she has to stay home BUT my other girl is a big lug with some anxiety/​abandonment issues. Rain, hot weather, the gardeners coming, anything sets her off. She’s eaten her way through window frames, doors, couches, etc. I’ve hired a runner, multiple trainers, and dog walker. My work days not long so it’s not a time issue. B ased on the pet cam, it’s not a boredom issue. She was severally abused and so she is scared of a lot of things and people. They have to build relationships with her. It took a lot for me to give in and think about day care.
I feel fortunate that i found this place. I’m relieved bc honestly, it was hard to find a place she doesn’t freak out at. When she walks through the door, you wpuld think that I was taking her toDisneyland. She cant wait to see Natalie, her fav, and honestly im not sure who likes who more! Natlie has a way with her. Its like she knew right off the bat. Natalie is awesome with not just my pup but all the dogs from what I’ve seen. BTW, I’ve never had a problem with them walking my dog on her regular schedule. She needs to stick to schedule otherwise it’s all down hill, but they understood. Ms Pattie Smith (my lug head pup) has issues and they get it.
For me, they work. I feel secure with her there. :) I’ve never asked if they do anything other than day care so I can’t comment on anything else.

I love this place. We’ve been bringing both our dogs in for grooming for a couple of years. They are reasonably priced for the area, they are flexible about scheduling and they do good work. I also like that they are involved in the local animal rescue community. We had a couple of bad experiences with other groomers before coming here, so I’m very pleased with them.

THE WORST!!! I took my teacup yorkie there for nails, wash and trim. They shaved her down completely obviously ruining her hair color for good, they kept her for nearly 5hours and didn’t walk her once!!! She came out hideous, traumatized and to top it off they were totally rude and overcharged me!

After a recommendation from my boss, I took my big pup Rocket here to get groomed. Château Marmutt is just about 3 blocks down from my office, so it was super convenient for me. Next time I’ll definitely just walk him over and back.
I called early this morning around 7:30AM and was told I could drop him off at 10AM before work. Amazing.
I have an approx. 110lb Samoyed (he’s a big boy) with lots of white (well…at this point, it was more like grey) fur. Dropped him off with what appeared to be very caring hands.
They followed up with a call halfway though to make sure they could shave his belly area, as it had been done before, to keep him clean. Rocket likes to lay around on the dirt often and he usually stains his belly area, so this is the best option for him.
When he was ready, they gave me a call (took approx 2.5 hours) and I was greeted by a fluffy, white, delicious-​smelling Rocket! It’s like he was a band new dog.
I love how he looks and smells and he seemed to like the groomer and the staff, so I know he was treated well. I’ll definitely be coming back here again!
PS The gentleman who groomed Rocket even helped me lift Rocket back into my car (he has a bad leg and is overweight, so it’s sometimes a challenge to get him into my SUV). Thank you so much!

Cool shop but that’s about it. Everything else is kind of ehhhh. The daycare yard looked cool but the small dog area is just the managers office? What? Some really cool things and stuff in the retail but that’s about it. Didn’t get a lot of clear answers which is not what I want when I’m taking my dog somewhere.

This place is great. We’ve been coming here for grooming for 14 years. We love Jamid, who runs the place and makes my golden retriever feel at home. The retail store is one stop shopping. Though I don’t use the daycare, the dogs look very happy. I get to bring my dog to work with me. If I didn’t, I’d take her to The Château!

I purchased a Gilt City deal for 3 days worth of doggy daycare. I really wanted to like this place because it’s conveniently located on my way to/​from work but I think my overall experience has been meh. As a disclaimer, I used to work at an awesome doggy daycare (up in the Bay Area, not a competitor) so maybe my expectations were too high.
My first concern was that there was no socialization test for any new dogs. After filling out a form, they took my dog and shoved her into the large dog play area without any intro to the other dogs. Fortunately she’s well socialized, but what if somebody brought in a poorly trained or aggressive dog? I asked what their policy is if a dogfight starts and the guy said, «Oh, well the dogs don’t really fight. I guess we break them up.» Umm… they’re dogs… sometimes they fight. If they do, I’d like to trust that they’re in the hands of trained professionals who can diffuse it quickly and I just didn’t get that sense here.
Another annoyance I had is that they have a big window into the playroom where you can watch the dogs play. I wanted to make sure my dog got settled in but as soon as I lingered for longer than a minute, the guy at the front rudely asked if I needed anything else. He then told me to have a nice day in a please-​leave kind of tone. It wasn’t just a one time thing, either — he tried his best to usher me out every time I dropped her off. It was really strange. I wonder if they are that unfriendly to all dog owners?
On the plus side, the little shop area upfront is cute and everything seemed pretty clean. I tried them out for the 3 visits worth but I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Had a Gilt City deal for a wash for a small dog… This shop is adorable and the doggie day care area is awesome. I would definitely consider bringing my little angel for some playtime and day care. I also really appreciate that the shop is secured with a gate just inside the front door… with a location on a busy street, I like the extra insurance that puppies can’t bolt out the front door.
Staff was friendly and clearly adore their pups. When I picked up my little Yorkie, she was adorable and smelled wonderful… not the strong overly perfumed stuff that other groomers use… just fresh and clean. And the little pink barrette in her hair was just too cute.
Highly recommend.

My very first negative review…
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE IS THAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR PHONEY 5 STAR REVIEWS. IF YOU LOOK AT ANY OF THE 5 STAR REVIEWERS PROFILES, THEY HAVE OVER 150 5 STAR REVIEWS IN THEIR PROFILES, SOMETIMES HAVING WRITTEN 5 VERY DETAILED VERY POSITIVE REVIEWS A DAY.
UNFORTUNATELY SOME BUSINESSES ARE USING THIS SERVICE TO CONTROL ONLINE PRESENCE TO EVEN OUT THEIR BAD REVIEWS AND AFTER PEEKING INTO THE OVER-​ENTHUSED 5 STAR REVIEWS I FIGURED IT OUT PRETTY EASILY. LOOK FOR YOURSELF!
I brought my dog in here for the first time for daycare yesterday. I was greeted by a guy (Adam), who did not ask me a single thing about my dog– simply said– he’ll go «in there» and they «go on the floor» and when I asked if my dog could please have a walk, he told me that my dog would be just fine peeing on the floor and that they dont usually do walks. My dog would have held his pee for 10 hours as he is very well house trained.
When I called at 1230 he said my dog still hadn’t gone out, and when I asked if it was possible, he said «ya” — with an irritated under tone.
The woman who greeted me at pick up had the same indifferent, sort of rude tone, and I never saw my dog so eager to get out of somewhere– he never wants to leave the Healthy Spot! Spend your money where people care about your dog andyou as a client!
My dog LOVES the Healthy Spot– and Posh Pets– but I wanted to try out Château Marmutt because I started working a block away…
I was so turned off. No one I talked to has very nice things to say about this place. Never again.

This place is fabulous! The staff is so nice and the rooms are great. My little Emma loved her day yesterday at day care and when I got her home after, I didn’t have to walk her or anything. She was pooped out. She slept all night long without barely moving. She must have played, a lot, because usually she’s jonesing for her nightime walk.
I got a KGB deal for this place where I got three days of day care for a discounted price. If I could afford it, I’d take her here a couple days a week, but alas, $ 35 a day is expensive and it adds up, fast. Before you know it, you are spending $ 280/​month on day care (if you go 2 x a week). But if you have the wiggle room in your budget, 100% do it. Your dog will love you and you’ll love the peace and quiet you get after their long and playful day. It’s great for socializing dogs too.
The only reason I take off one star is because they don’t have a web-​cam. If they got one, they’d be perfect.
Love you Château!

They don’t call the dog shop a «boutique» for nothing. When I think of boutique, I think «expensive»…and this place is a castle of expensive dog goodies deserves the name «boutique».
Very cute things though… if you have a small pooch, and don’t mind spending the money, this place has many dog clothes (about $ 20 a shirt!), trendy dog carriers that look like real purses that I would wear ($ 89-​$ 150), and little squeeky dog toys ($ 4 for a 3″ toy to $ 10 for a 6″ toy) for you and your dog.
Sensitive noses? Since Château Marmutt is also a doggie daycare/​boarding place in the back, it also reeks of dog pee.
Dog teeth cleaning? They do offer once a month non-​anesthetic dog cleaning ($ 90-​$ 125) which I thought was cool.
I can’t speak of their dog boarding service, but the front store does have a few useful dog things, if you can afford it.
