Why mobile grooming works well in Alief
Alief is a working neighborhood. A lot of households here have somebody on shift work, somebody doing school runs for Alief ISD, and not a lot of spare hours in the middle of a weekday to drive a dog across town and then drive back for them a few hours later.
That round trip is the actual cost of a traditional groomer. Not the price on the menu: the two trips and the gap in between. Mobile grooming removes it. Courtney comes to you, and the appointment takes an hour or two start to finish.
It also solves a problem that's specific to a lot of homes around here. If you're in an apartment or a townhome without a yard or a hose, bathing a dog yourself is genuinely difficult. There's nowhere to do it except a bathroom that then needs cleaning. The van has its own water and its own power, so none of that is your problem.
Grooming available in Alief
Both appointments, at the same price you'd pay anywhere else in the service area.
The dogs we see most in Alief
A lot of mixed-breed family dogs and short-coated dogs that need a proper Bath & Brush with a real de-shed rather than a haircut. Plenty of small dogs with coats that grow, like shih tzus, Yorkies and poodle mixes, that need a Full Groom every few weeks.
And a lot of older dogs. Alief has a lot of long-tenure households, which means a lot of dogs who have lived in the same house for a decade and don't travel well anymore. Senior dogs are Courtney's specialty, and they're the ones who get the most out of never having to get in the car.

Questions from Alief clients
Do you need to use my water or electricity?
No. The van carries its own water and runs on its own power, so nothing is plugged into your house and no hose is needed. All you have to provide is a place to park. Your driveway or the curb out front is fine.
Is there a trip fee or a minimum for coming to me?
No. Every address in the service area is the same price, whether you're in Alief or out in Richmond. There's no trip charge, no fuel surcharge and no minimum spend.
How long does an appointment take?
Most appointments run between one and two hours. A Bath & Brush sits at the shorter end and a Full Groom at the longer end, and bigger dogs take more time than small ones. Matted coats, heavy double coats and puppies on their first visit can run past that, and Courtney will tell you if she expects yours to.
Do I need to be home the whole time?
You need to be there to hand your dog over and to take them back at the end, but you don't need to stand outside in between. Most people go back inside and get on with their day. If you'd rather stay and watch, that's fine too. If your dog settles better knowing you're nearby, say so when you book.
What happens if my dog is matted?
There's a de-matting fee of $10 to $20 depending on how severe it is, and Courtney will tell you what she's looking at and what it will cost before she starts, so nothing gets added to your bill as a surprise. If a coat is matted tight against the skin it can't be brushed out without hurting the dog, so the humane answer in that case is to clip underneath the mats and let the coat start over.
