Five Star Experience
We had a wonderful experience today!
"Ruben did an excellent job grooming Stanley! Not only does Stanley look fabulous, clearly he feels terrific too and really liked Ruben. Ruben was so warm and kind that he put Stanley at ease right away. Looking forward to our next appointment with Ruben when he will groom our other dog, Remi!"
Best. Groomer. Ever. Cannot rave about them enough!
"We have always been hesitant with past groomers because Zeus is super anxious. Andrew was beyond amazing and helped all of us to be comfortable; he sent detailed updates and pictures, it was so so reassuring. And to boot, the price is great. Thank you so much Barkbus and Andrew!!"
He got his "King" treatment he deserves.
"Erica was great with King because of his size and breed most are hesitant with him, not her and he was happy to jump in the van. I got 3 pics of him and he loved his bath. Never going to a shop/store again. Thank you!"
I couldn’t believe how cute Luna looked after!!!
"Luna’s 1st puppy grooming today was absolutely amazing with Marisol today! The van was clean and Marisol was professional and friendly and Luna loved her!! I couldn’t believe how cute Luna looked after!!! I would highly recommend this service and so much easier for puppies."
Will be recommending your service to everyone I know!
"My groomer, Evelyn, is truly a wonderful person. From the moment Belle met her, I think she felt really comfortable with her. Evelyn sent pictures to me at every stage of the groom and Belle looked happy in each picture. Thanks again for the great service provided by Barkbus and Evelyn."
My pup is HAPPY and CUUUTE. Worth every cent!
"I really like the thoroughness of these folk! Mandy did a great job making sure my pup Pearl was acclimated before going ahead with the grooming. Lots of pets and sweet talk. Best of all, they came to my house, i received updates (with pictures!) throughout the grooming, she triple checked on the grooming notes, and my pup is HAPPY and CUUUTE. Worth every cent. Especially if you have a nervous doggo."
We loved our experience with Barkbus!
"This was my first time using a mobile groomer, Cristina talked me through everything and was so kind! She really made Danny feel at ease, and Danny looked amazing when she was finished!"
Our experience with Barkbus was 15/10!
"We have a toy poodle (8) and a golden doodle (5). They have been groomed since they were babies and this was by far the best they have ever been groomed. Kitty was our groomer and I cannot say enough great things. She was on time, professional, knowledgable, and had great communication throughout the entire appointment. She was very attentive and told us anything she saw that was out of the norm (if any). We will be returning clients of Barkbus & Kitty. Thank you so much! My babies are so happy."
She came back fluffy, clean and confident.
"Ezra did an awesome job grooming our dog! She came back fluffy, clean and confident. She was overdue for a nail trim which isn't her favorite thing to have done, but Ezra was able to make it happen. I'm so pleased with the professionalism and quality service we experienced."

At Barkbus, we’re thrilled to bring our professional mobile dog grooming services to the vibrant and dog-friendly city of San Diego, California. With over 25 years of expertise in dog grooming and pageants, I understand the needs of all dogs, from small pups to large breeds. Our mobile dog grooming service provides a convenient and stress-free experience for both you and your dog, right at your doorstep. Our fully equipped grooming van comes with the latest tools, including trimmers for a precise dog haircut, nail clippers, gentle dog washers, and a comfortable bathing area, making it easier than ever to keep your dog looking and feeling their best. Whether it's a bath, a trim, or a full grooming session, we provide a comprehensive range of grooming services tailored to suit every dog's individual needs.
San Diego is known for its dog-loving community, and the city offers numerous dog parks and activities that cater to pups of all sizes. Balboa Park is a local gem, offering plenty of space for dogs to roam and explore. It’s also home to dog-friendly cafes and areas where you can relax with your furry friend after a good grooming session. For a more specialized experience, Civita Park and Grape Street Dog Park are perfect places for your dog to socialize with other dogs, providing a sense of freedom and fun. At Barkbus, we understand how important it is to keep your dog clean, healthy, and ready for all their adventures in San Diego, and we are here to make grooming easy and accessible.
San Diego is also home to some fantastic dog-friendly restaurants where you and your dog can enjoy a meal together. Fred’s Mexican Cafe in Old Town offers a lively atmosphere with outdoor seating where dogs are always welcome. For a more relaxed, yet equally dog-friendly experience, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens at Liberty Station provides a spacious patio that’s perfect for dining with your dog while enjoying craft beers. After a day at the dog park or enjoying San Diego’s sunny weather, Barkbus is here to ensure your dog looks and feels its best with top-notch grooming services. Whether you need a puppy groomer for your little one or a grooming session for your large dog, we offer it all with convenience and care.
