Mobile grooming is a grooming service that comes directly in a pet spa on wheels made for taking care of your dog.

I have all the tools and equipment I need to groom your dog right in the comfort of his own driveway or curbside near your yard.

I groom Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a pre-scheduled appointment only.

If you have an emergency or special need outside of my normal grooming hours, send me a note or give me a call. Maybe I can do to help you.

I charge an hourly rate for grooming your dog and charge separately for additional services.

See my grooming services for more information on additional services.

Current rates for grooming:

• $75 per hour for small dogs

• $85 per hour for medium dogs

• $95 per hour for large dogs

I accept cash, debit cards, or Visa and Mastercard credit cards.

I do not accept checks or other forms of payment.

We use online and mobile credit card process and can bill prior to the appointment or on-site after completion of your dog’s grooming.

After booking your appointment, I will contact you within two business days to confirm your appointment date and time—just in case there is a last minute scheduling conflict on my end—and review your grooming needs.

I will ask that you create a pet profile for your grooming needs.

I will ask for a copy of your dog’s vaccination for my records.

Unfortunately no. I can certainly refer you to other groomers, whether in salon or mobile, that best suits your needs.

All surfaces will be disinfected and tools sterilized between each groom. Fresh towels are used and stowed away after each use. I am fully vaccinated. Please let me know your preference for wearing a mask.

An appointment window is a block of time in which I arrive for your appointment.

For example, if you have a 2:00 PM appointment time, I may arrive between 2:00 PM and 2:15 PM for your appointment. This is a 15-minute grace period for me to arrive at your home.

If I am running late, I will always contact you ahead of your appointment.

I’m currently serving clients from North Berwick south to Dover, and from Kittery north to Ogunquit.

If you’re unsure if I’m able to come to your home, just send me a note and I’ll see what I can do.

Contact Me

Yes.

We ask that you be home and available during the grooming appointment in case of an emergency, or in some cases with an aggressive pet, to assist with a portion of the groom to calm your pet (if safe to do so).

The duration of an appointment will vary based on your pet’s size, coat conditioner, and temperament.

Bath appointments are typically finished in an hour.

Grooming appointments will typically take 2 hours to 2 ½ hours to perform.

All I ask from clients are three things:

1) To provide a copy of your pet’s vaccination records prior to grooming;

2) To provide a safe space to park my grooming van, either in your driveway or curbside on your street; and

3) To give me the opportunity to love your dog!

I have all the necessary equipment to groom your dog, including electricity and water. My mobile grooming unit is self-sufficient and self-sustaining. I do not require any hookups to your home.

*Please Note:

Clients are required to clear their driveway of obstacles in preparation for their appointment.

If I am unable to find a spot to park safely, I may need to reschedule your appointment and charge a fee for this canceled visit.

I require all dogs to be up to date on Rabies vaccinations, Distemper (DHPP or DPV) and Kennel Cough.

Please note that you must have a signed certificate by a licensed veterinarian. I can not accept rabies tags as proof of vaccination nor can I accept town or city registration documents.

Your pet’s health and wellbeing come first.

Based on your dog’s health and temperament, we will determine if it is safe to groom or refer you to a veterinarian clinic that specializes in higher-risk grooms. We are unable to accept pets with seizures, heart murmurs, and incontinence.

It is common for dogs to not like particular parts of the groom—whether it’s its nails done, face touched, etc.

I use various, holistic techniques to keep your dog calm. However, in the event that your dog is not in the mood to be bathed and groomed, I may ask for your assistance in keeping them calm enough to be groomed by the two of us.

Grooms by Gabby is a Flea Free mobile grooming facility!

If fleas are discovered after check-in, then a flea bath will be provided and an additional charge ($50) will be added to the base rate for a bath appointment for your size dog.

To avoid an infestation for others, all grooming appointments that day will be rescheduled until the next available dates.
