MobileDog groomer caring for a dog inside the mobile spa

Four Generations. One Legacy.

Grooming isn’t a job for this family — it’s in their blood. Nearly 50 years of hands-on craft, passed from mother to daughter, show ring to mobile spa.

GENERATION ONE

The Show Circuit

Grandmother bred and showed AKC champions in the 1950s. The standard for perfection was set before any of this was a business.

GENERATION TWO

Poodle Chateau

Her son ran Poodle Chateau in Maryland for over 50 years — a grooming institution built on breed-standard cuts and old-school discipline.

GENERATION THREE

Lil Lewis · Canine Carousel

Lil Lewis opened Canine Carousel in Herndon, VA in 1977 — 49 years ago. Past President of the Virginia Grooming Association. The salon became a Northern Virginia institution.

GENERATION FOUR

Chrissy & Nikki · MobileDog

Chrissy Wilt (OPAWZ Master Groomer 2022) and Nikki Thompson (AKC Safety Certified) took the family craft mobile in 2025. Same standard. Your driveway.

Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

Everything pet parents ask before their first MobileDog visit.

How long does a grooming appointment take?

Most grooms take 60–90 minutes depending on your dog’s size, coat condition, and the service selected. Because we come to you, there’s no drop-off or pickup time — your dog is done and back inside before you know it.

Do you require vaccinations?

Yes. All dogs must be current on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. This protects your dog, our groomers, and every pet we serve. Please have your vet records ready when booking — we’ll confirm at your first appointment.

What if my dog is anxious or nervous?

This is exactly why mobile grooming exists. No car ride, no waiting room, no other dogs. Your dog stays calm in their own environment, and our groomers are trained in low-stress, fear-free handling. One-on-one means we take it at your dog’s pace — always.

Do you need my water or electricity?

No. Our vans are fully self-contained — onboard water tanks, climate control, power, and grooming equipment. We don’t need access to your home, your water, or your electricity. Just a place to park.

How big is the van? Will it fit in my driveway?

Our vans are standard full-size — similar to a delivery van. They fit in any standard residential driveway or street parking spot. If you’re in a tight neighborhood or HOA, just let us know and we’ll coordinate.

What happens if it rains or snows?

We groom rain or shine — everything happens inside the climate-controlled van. Severe weather (ice storms, heavy snow) may require rescheduling for safety, but we’ll always communicate in advance.

Do you groom cats?

Currently, MobileDog specializes in dogs only. We do carry cat food and supplies in our product line! If you need a cat groomer, just ask — we have trusted partners in the area we’re happy to recommend.

How often should my dog be groomed?

Most dogs do best on a 4–8 week schedule depending on breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Your groomer will recommend the ideal interval after your first visit. Recurring clients can lock in a regular schedule through the app — and earn extra Bonez for staying on routine.

What is your cancellation policy?

Life happens. We ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations or reschedules. Same-day cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee. We’re reasonable people — just communicate and we’ll work with you.

Are you insured?

Fully insured and bonded. Our groomers are AKC Safety Certified and trained on the Lewis family standard — nearly 50 years of professional grooming expertise backing every appointment.
