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!
"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."
"My Old lady looks fantastic âď¸thanks so much Veronicaâs đ âŚ"
"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 cannot tell you how excited I am to have found Groombuggy! I have been having a horrible time finding a decent groomer in SF, let alone a mobile groomer that is GOOD AND RELIABLE! I'm so glad I found GB! I reached out online and got a very timely response from Caroline, who has been wonderfully responsive since! I wasn't quite ready to book at that time, but as soon as I was they were available (I suspect that won't last very long as people realize how great they are - but I'm also ok with planning ahead). As I mentioned, I have been very impressed with their communication. Caroline texted me the morning of the appointment with an eta (within 30 minutes) and the groomer actually arrived pretty quickly after the text and was there just before our scheduled appointment time! His name is Carlos and he is AMAZING! We have a 13 lb shih tzu who is sweet but extremely anxious with everything but Carlos totally got it. And he was just GREAT with her (and me!) - completely put me at ease. He followed all of my instructions and Lois looks great. And he only took about an hour. So much less stressful for her than sitting at the groomers for 4 hours. Thank you Groombuggy! Please continue to serve San Francisco! We (desperately) need good groomers like you!"
"Outstanding customer service! My dog was well cared for and loved the experience! I've never had a grooming experience as easy as I did with Groombuggy."
"Groombuggy groomed my full-size golden doodle and did an outstanding job. Our dog has been to other grooming places over the year or so we have had him, and the quality of the grooming by Groombuggy was A+ â by far the best grooming he has ever had! And, of course, super convenient that they came to me. We will definitely use Groombuggy again and again!"
"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."
"BreAnn has groomed my dog twice and has been so kind and professional each time. My dog and I appreciate it! Thank you"
"Very positive experience! They were communicative and respected our requests for our American Eskimo dog, Scoop's grooming. Scoop returned to us happy and handsome!"
"Groombuggy was really wonderful. I was feeling worried because my dog is a bit older and we just moved to Mt. View. But right away our groomer Ally reassured us that she was going to take care of her. She was super friendly and on time and communicated with me a few days before and the day of the appointment her timing which was so helpful. The dogs haircuts were super great and they looked amazing. Definitely will come back and asking for Ally."
"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!"
"This was our first experience with Groombuggy. The sign up process was seamless and our groomer was gentle and very professional. Our puppy looks great."

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.
