Best Mobile Dog Grooming Services in the U.S.

Mobile dog grooming saves pet owners time, but all puppy beauty parlors are not created equal. These, however, are the best ones in every major U.S. city.

Best Mobile Dog Grooming Services in the U.S.

Who wants to spend time driving to the dog groomer these days? We recommend trying out a mobile dog grooming service and saving your free time for trips to the dog park instead.

As you probably guessed, dog groomers on wheels bring the beauty parlor to your door, offering the same equipment and services that a regular dog grooming salon would. But not all mobile grooming services are created equal.

That's why we picked the best one in every major U.S. city for you to consider.

New York, New York: ClipArt Housecall Dog Grooming

A one-woman show, ClipArt dog groomer Nancy Agababian has been beautifying pets for over 13 years. She comes right to your door, so you don't have to worry about leaving your dog in a cramped kennel for hours like you would at multi-pet grooming facilities. According to reviews, her love for animals is really, really obvious, which is honestly the most essential quality in any person who's going to be working with scissors around your pet.

What pet lovers have to say: "Nancy did a great job with my puppy. He is a miniature red poodle and Nancy was able to give him a beautiful first grooming. Will definitely be recommending her to friends!" – Jessie C., Yelp

What pet lovers have to say: "We had our first experience today with my Yorkshire.

Atlanta, Georgia: The Furry Godmother

For dog owners who want a little extra somethin' somethin' done with their dog's luscious locks, call up the Furry Godmother, aka Simone G.

I hope to never take our dog to a groomer ever again — I will only schedule with Pawfection and have them come to us!" – Amanda T., Yelp

San Diego, California: Pampered Paws Mobile Pet Grooming

You can give a dog a bath at home, but managing to give them a quality puppy cut is another story. Pampered Paws handles haircuts like a pro, and that's not all they do. They offer flea treatments, skunk spray treatments, ultrasound teeth cleaning and even dye jobs. They service all dog breeds and even cats, too!

What pet lovers have to say: "John is seriously the kindest, sweetest, most passionate and generous soul I've had the privilege of meeting. I was so desperate trying to find a groomer for my crazy fat tuxedo cat, Chico. I shot John an email pleading for help with the mats Chico had around his behind. John was extremely responsive and was able to squeeze me in his already tight schedule. [He] did a tremendous job without making my cat feel stressed and overwhelmed. I cannot express how thankful I am to John for helping me and my Chico." – P.L., Yelp

Denver, Colorado: The Pooch Mobile

The Pooch Mobile started out in Australia in 1991 before expanding to the U.S. It's a franchise, but the mobile salon in Denver has amazing reviews.

Chicago, Illinois: Meeow Chicago

OK, this one is a slight departure from the rest, but we figured cats deserved some representation, too. In Chicago, you can get your cat groomed right in front of your house via Meow Chicago, a mobile cat grooming salon. They can handle the most disgruntled of kitties without stressing them out. Most cats dislike getting groomed even more than dogs, so this one's a win for sure.

They take such good care of her and keep me updated on her progress during the grooming. The technicians are always so sweet, gentle and informative. I couldn't recommend them enough." – Michelle Z., Yelp
