Mobile dog grooming · Norco

The groomer comes to your gate.

One dog at a time. No cages, no waiting room, no car ride.

Why the driveway beats the salon.

  • One dog, one groomer, start to finish.

  • No cages, no waiting room, no car ride.

  • Trail dust, burrs and foxtails, brushed all the way out.

  • Done in about 90 minutes, at your gate.

How it works

Three beats, from your driveway.

  1. The white grooming van pulling into a gravel ranch driveway past a white horse fence

    We pull up

    You pick the window. The van parks in your driveway or at the gate with its own water and power. Dirt roads are fine.

  2. A groomer brushing a happy Australian shepherd at the open side door of the van, a horse watching over the fence

    We groom at the gate

    Warm bath, blow-dry, brush-out, nails, ears and the cut you asked for. Your dog is the only one on board.

  3. A woman greeting her fluffy, freshly groomed Australian shepherd on her front porch

    Back inside in about 90 minutes, dry, brushed and smelling like the good towels.

Questions from the gate.

Where does the grooming happen?
Inside our van, parked in your driveway or at your gate. It has its own water, power, warm-water tub and grooming table, so nothing comes into your house and nothing spooks the horses.
Can you get down a dirt road?
Yes. The van handles gravel and dirt driveways. If the gate is tight or the drive is soft, we park on the street and walk in.
How long does a groom take?
Most dogs are done in 60 to 90 minutes. Large or heavily coated dogs can take up to two hours. Your dog is the only dog on board.
Do you need me to be home?
Someone needs to hand the dog off and take them back. Between those two moments you are free to do whatever you like.
What does it cost?
Starting prices are on the menu board above. We confirm the exact price at pickup, before we start, based on coat condition and size.
Which cities do you cover?
Norco is home base. We run regular routes through Corona, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Riverside, Chino, Chino Hills and Ontario. Nearby cities on request.
My dog rolled in something. Or met a skunk.
It happens out here. Tell us in the notes and we bring the right shampoo. A skunk bath is an add-on, and we can usually fit one in within a day or two.
