How it works

Three beats, from your doorway.

  1. The white grooming van pulling into a Newport Beach driveway between palms

    We pull up

    You pick the window. The van parks at your curb or driveway with its own water and power.

  2. A groomer brushing a happy goldendoodle at the open side door of the van

    We groom at the curb

    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 goldendoodle at her front door

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

Questions from the doorstep.

Where does the grooming happen?
Inside our van, parked at your curb or driveway. It has its own water, power, warm-water tub and grooming table, so nothing comes into your home.
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 parts of Newport Beach do you cover?
All of Newport Beach, including Balboa Island, the Peninsula, Lido Isle, Corona del Mar and Newport Coast. Nearby cities on request.
