Roaming the Phoenix East Valley

Mobile dog grooming that pulls right up to your door.

Hi, I'm Maddison. About 90 minutes in your driveway. Your dog comes back clean, fluffy, and wearing a fresh handmade bandana. No cages, no car rides, no barky waiting rooms.

Fresh pup in three simple steps

One text to get on the schedule. The whole groom happens in your driveway. Here's how it goes.

Step One Text me a photo Send a pic of your pup, their breed and rough weight (a guess is totally fine), and your zip code. I'll text you back a price and my next open spots.
Step Two I pull up to you My van brings its own water, power, and AC, so all I need is a spot to park. You'll get a heads-up text when I'm about 30 minutes out.
Step Three Fresh pup in ~90 min It's just me and your dog from start to finish, and your pup heads home in a fresh handmade bandana I stitched myself.

Meet your groomer

Hi, I'm Maddison. Nine years in, and your dog still gets my full attention.

I answer your text, open the van door, and do the whole groom myself, start to finish. Same hands every time. Dogs figure that out fast. No rotating cast of strangers, no barking kennel room, no rush.

I keep my schedule small on purpose so nobody gets rushed. Not me, not your dog. Anxious dogs, seniors, and first-timers are my most common requests, and honestly my favorite appointments. Every dog goes home in a handmade bandana I stitched myself.

Grooming is a health thing, not just a looks thing

Most people book a groom when their dog starts to look shaggy. Groomers and vets will both tell you that's a little late. Here's what actually goes sideways when a dog skips too many appointments.

Mats cause real pain, not just bad hair

Mats pull tight on skin, restrict blood flow, and trap moisture, creating a hotspot for bacterial and fungal infections. What looks like a coat issue can turn into open sores fast, especially under thick fur where nobody's looking.

Long nails change how a dog walks

When nails grow past the toe, they force the paw to splay outward with every step. That shifts weight up the leg and adds stress to ankles, knees, and hips over time. Vets link chronically long nails to early-onset arthritis.

Dog ears don't drain like ours do

Dogs have an L-shaped ear canal that traps moisture, wax, and debris at the bend, perfect conditions for bacterial and yeast overgrowth. Regular cleaning and trimming hair around the canal cuts infection risk significantly, especially in Arizona's heat and humidity swings.

A good groomer catches what owners miss

A trained set of hands through a coat every few weeks surfaces things you'd never spot at home: lumps, skin lesions, tick attachment sites, early-stage infections. Catching these during a groom beats finding out about them at the vet six months later.

"Maddison has been my groomer for six years. I followed her everywhere she worked because she's the best I've ever found, and I'm so glad I was able to get my doodle in during her very first week of business."

Where the van roams

Right now I'm roaming the Phoenix East Valley: Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, and Tempe. Just outside that? Text me anyway. My route shifts week to week and a small travel fee usually covers it.

Hours

Tue–Sat · 8am – 4pm

Booking window

I usually book up 1–2 weeks out, and my regulars get first dibs on standing spots.

Stuff people always ask me

Do you need my water or electricity?

Nope! The van carries its own fresh water tank, generator, and climate control. All I need is a level place to park about the size of two cars.

Is the van air-conditioned? It's the desert.

Fully. The van is climate-controlled year-round, so your pup stays cool and comfortable start to finish, even in an Arizona summer.

My dog is anxious / has never been groomed. Can you help?

Anxious dogs are the reason mobile grooming exists. It's one-on-one the whole time, with no kennels and no other dogs. I work at your pup's pace.

How much does it cost?

All grooms start at $105 and scale with size, coat, and condition. Text me a pic of your pup and I'll give you an exact price before we book anything. No surprises at the van door.

What do you need from me on the day?

A parking spot and a potty break for your pup before we start. You don't even need to be home, as long as we've arranged a handoff.

What's your cancellation policy?

Life happens! Just give me 48 hours' notice so another pup can take the slot. Same-day cancellations or no-shows are 50% of the booked service, since it's a one-woman schedule.

Wanna get on the schedule?

Drop your info below and it opens a text to me with everything pre-filled. I'll come back with a price and some times, usually same day (sometimes from a driveway between dogs).
