Unleashing a new era of dog grooming
Stress-Free
Our calm, private grooming space is tailored for your dogâs undivided attention. Ideal for anxious pups.
High Quality
Top-tier shampoos, vet-rated cleaning solutions, breed-specific brushes, and unmatched expertise.
Convenient
Forget the 4-hour trips to the groomer. We're at your doorstep on your schedule. It's grooming on your terms!
Grooming made simple for you and your dog
Bath
Our vans are loaded with fresh, warm water because baths are crucial to the grooming process. We use premium shampoos and conditioners tailored to your dogâs needs but if you have a prescribed medicated shampoo, we're happy to use that too (a small additional fee applies).
Blow Out
There are no cages onboard our vans. We hand-dry your pup from nose to tail. This process not only sheds excess fur but also preps those thick, furry coats for haircuts. Plus, it's a perfect time for your groomer to inspect your dogâs skin and coat for issues not readily visible.
Haircut
Every pup has their own style. Whether it's a neat summer shave or just a little off the top, your groomer will consult with you to match your requests while honoring your petâs health and safety.
Brush
Your groomer is equipped with the highest quality brushes, combs, and tools that suit your dogâs needs and ensures their fur ends up feeling as good as it looks.
Ears
We only use top-tier, vet-approved ear cleaners for your pup. Weâll pluck those floppy (or pointy) ears upon request (additional fee applies) and if we spot any irritation or infection, we'll let you know.
Nails
Maintaining the right nail length is crucial for your pup's health and well-being. We include nail dremeling (filing) in our service, but if your dog isn't a fan, we'll switch to clipping.
Teeth Brushing
We use vet-approved toothpaste and soft bristle toothbrushes to boost your pupâs oral health and freshen their breath. Your groomer will report any signs of poor dental health so you can address it.
Anal Gland Expression
Some dogs need more care in this department. Upon request, we'll provide this service at no extra charge. Unsure if itâs necessary? Your groomer will be there to advise, or you can consult your vet.
Thousands of wagging tails!
"I've been wanting to try a mobile dog grooming service for a while and I'm glad I finally did. Making the appointment was easy. The groomer arrived in time and was very gentle with my dog. The convenience of not having to leave my home to drop off and pick up was amazing. Thank you."
"Cannot recommend Carlos from Groombuggy more. My 90lb Bernese mountain dog has a lot of anxiety about the groomer and he was patient as we got her into the van, and she came out of her Appt not frazzled like she is when we took her to the groomer. The premium price was worth it for me."
"Julio was FANTASTIC he arrived on time, a little early in fact, which was fine with me! My dog has usually displayed being quite frightened when being groomed. Julio said he was good as gold. If I wasnât moving out of state he would be my #1 groomer."
"Ally did a terrific job! It was the first time my little baby was groomed. Ally was very understanding with what I wanted. My little girl looks great! Will definitely be back."
"We have used a couple of different mobile dog grooming services in the past with our pup Penny. Penny can be a handful, but is a very freindly wire-haired terrier. We were nervous as Penny doesn't enjoy her nails being clipped, but Carlos has been so amazing with Penny. She gets the full treatment and Carlos takes amazing care of her and is very patient. Penny always looks fanatastic after and feels so happy! We have been using GroomBuggy for three months now and can not be any happier with the service, quality, and customer care. Thank you so much to everyone at GroomBuggy!"
"Carlos was so great with Elroy. He was prompt friendly and informative. A new favorite groomer for Elroy."
"I absolutely love Groombuggy!!! My dog Zuri smells and looks amazing. The groomer that I had was very very friendly. The groomer took time for Zuri to get to know him and made sure Zuri was comfortable before handling her. I will definitely use Groombuggy again for Zuri and with my other pets in the future."
"My dog Max had a wonderful experience with Groombuggy also with the worker Yanely strongly would recommend to book an appointment with Groombuggy one of best experience!!"
"I have used a few different mobile dog wash in the past and Groombuggy brought a whole different ball game this past weekend. My dog (German shepherd) who was deshedding like crazy came back amazing! Iâm not exaggerating he came back from his wash like a new dog! I have never experienced an amazing dog wash from a mobile before and I was really going to give up on them until I came across Groombuggy! I really wish I had a before and after picture to show. Definitely going to keep booking with them and I you should too! Thank you guys again!"
"We worked with Ashley this morning and she was so patient and kind with our dog! Our dog has been really nervous since her last experience at PetCo. And PetCo refused to work with her and recommended anxiety meds for her grooming needs. It made our dog miserable and we really wanted to try again without it. So I felt like I had to apologize to Ashley about everything, but Ashley smiled as she returned our baby to us (looking AMAZING) and assured us she would be more than glad to help us out again. I asked her about the anxiety medication and she said that should not be necessary. We are excited to work with Ashley again as our dog becomes more comfortable with the experience. I was pacing all this morning worrying about our baby-- next time, I'll be much more relaxed knowing she's in great hands with Ashley!"
"We've had such a great experience with Groombuggy that they are now the only groomer we use! After having a hard time finding appts anywhere in Mountain View or Palo Alto we decided to try out Groombuggy when our mini shih tsu was in dire need of a groom. They were so communicative, came to our home right on time, and took such great care of our little guy. He came out looking perfect for summer! For the ease of finding an appointment, having the groom take place in their buggy in our driveway, and having our little dude come out looking very suave, we are incredibly happy customers!"
"I was hesitant to have my dog groomed because he doesnât like new people but I wasnât sure how to cut his nails myself so I decided to try it. Iâm so glad I did! Carlos was fantastic with my dog and he was parked right out front of my home. The process was quick and my dog looked great afterwards. He also didnât seem stressed after which is awesome. They took great care of my dog and I will definitely use them again"

In-Shop Groomers
We come directly to your door, saving you time and effort. We take only 10 minutes of your time and you can relax at home while we groom your dog.
Often takes over 3 hours of your day due to travel, drop-off, and waiting. Grooming may take longer due to groomers handling multiple dogs at once.
Dogs are groomed in a calm, quiet environment inside the van, away from other dogs and ringing phones.
Car rides to the groomer and a chaotic, noisy shop environment can be stressful for many dogs.
Groomers focus entirely on one dog at a time, ensuring a calm, tailored experience.
Groomers often handle multiple dogs at once, leading to rushed service and less personalized care.
Groombuggy vans are cleaned and sanitized after each session ensuring no exposure to other dogs' illnesses.
Shops may have inconsistent cleanliness, with potential exposure to other animals' illnesses.
With an extensive team of expert groomers, we can find the perfect match for your dog in a timely manner.
Limited groomer availability can result in longer wait times and inconsistent quality.
Our team is available 24/7 to schedule, answer questions, and address any concerns.
Phone support is only available during shop hours, and groomers may be too busy to answer.

Traditional dog grooming just doesnât cut it
Lifeâs chaotic enough without âruffâ trips to the dog groomer. Why make your pup trek, tail between its legs, to an unfamiliar environment while you sit twiddling your thumbs in a crowded waiting room?
