The price of mobile pet grooming depends on a number of factors, including your pet’s breed, size and the requested grooming services. Mobile grooming for large dogs is usually more expensive than small dogs, for example, due to the time it takes to complete a grooming session.
The cost of mobile grooming for dogs starts at $143. Mobile grooming for cats starts at $169.
Since we come to you, your pet will not be exposed to other cats or dogs, improving the grooming experience for anxious or excited pets. In our fully equipped mobile salons, your pet will receive individual attention by a professional and caring groomer in a calm, clean and safe environment. This service is also great for pets who hate to travel, as you never need to leave home to visit a grooming salon.
In most cases, you can expect that mobile dog grooming will take approximately 60-75 minutes, though grooming large dogs can take up to two hours. Most mobile cat grooming services are completed in an hour or less. After your dog or cat is groomed, they will be delivered right back to your doorstep looking and feeling great!

When not at work you might find her knitting, sewing, or doing other crafts. She has a Standard Poodle, Asako and a Goldendoodle named Shinko. Tina also has a Scarlet Macaw named Sora! She is canine CPR/First Aid certified and Certified in the Science of Canine Skin and Coat.
