Default Mobile Dog Groomers

We are looking for a mobile pet (dog) grooming business for our Bichon. Has anyone used such a service and if so, what advice can you provide. Would also like price range if you don't mind sharing. Thank you.

We have been using P&J Flawless Paws for about 6-8 months now and they are great. We tried 2 local groomers and didn't like the way they do business. One wanted us to bring the dog at 8:00am and pick him up at 5:00 pm. The other gave us an appointment but always said 4-6 hours. Wrong on both counts for us. P&J arrives, grooms our dog and is gone in about 1 1/2 hours. Yes, they do charge about $10 more but it's well worth it to not have to leave the house. The do just as good a job grooming too.

We have been using Michele, Grooming Way-In for about a year now. Very reliable, on time, does a great job on our Goldendoodle. Not sure what she would charge for a Bishon, you would have to call and ask. Her # is (954) 551-9900. Tell her Xander's Mom sent you.

Yikes, 4-6 hours to be groomed! That would be a pain if you had a ways to travel to drop off and pick up your pet! Maybe, I will have to look up a mobile groomer when we move to The Villages! I'm still hoping that when my Shih Tzu gets a little older I will be able to groom her myself! Right now, at 8 months, she is a little wiggle worm!

We also use P & J Flawless groomers. Jessica does a wonderful job with our puppy. We love that they come to our home and Milo is ready in one hour. Didn't like the idea of dropping our puppy off then picking him up hours later. We choose P & J based on reviews on ToTV. Couldn't be happier with the results.

P & J can be reached at 352-4599-6949.

I use Amy from Amy'siGroom. She is an excellent groomer and is very gentle with the dogs. She has about 10 yrs experience and is well worth every penny. I have a poodle and she looks like a show dog when she is finished phone # 352-516-9747

Yes, Michele owns a home in Summerfield. She was originally from South Florida. She has a nice mobile grooming van and brings one of her own dogs with her. She is as cute as a button and well behaved. I think it may make her dog clients more at ease.

Another vote for Michele. She shows up on time, fairly priced and does a great job with our Shih Tzu.

Thanks to all who replied to our inquiry. We finally decided on Theresa"s Waggin' Wheels Mobile Pet Salon and were VERY pleased with the way Molly looked at the completion of her Mini-groom (necessary as the previous groomer clipped her way too short). Now, she is beginning to look like her cute self again. Thank you, Theresa!!

Ah! That's what I wanted to hear. I've been looking for a mobile groomer for our golden, but every one I asked only does small dogs.

Another good tip from Phanatic Luvr! (But sorry about the Phillies this year)
