Mobile Dog Grooming in McLean, VA
McLean runs on a tight schedule. Between the Parkway commute, the Silver Line, and everything in between, most people here do not have a spare three hours to drop a dog off and come back for it.
MobileDog removes that trip entirely. Your dog is groomed one-on-one in our self-contained van, parked outside your home, while you get on with your day.
Why McLean Dog Owners Choose MobileDog
The Appointment Comes to You
No drop-off window, no pickup window, no second trip across town. We arrive at a confirmed time, complete the groom, and hand your dog back at your door. For households where both schedules are full, this is usually the deciding factor.
One Dog at a Time, Every Time
Your dog is the only dog in the van. There is no kennel between the bath, the dry and the cut, no barking from the next station, and no waiting for a groomer to finish someone else's appointment first.
Finish Work, Not Volume Work
We groom a small number of dogs each day. That is what makes a proper scissor finish, a clean face trim, and a coat that holds its shape possible. High-volume salons are built around throughput. We are not.
The Same Groomers, Every Visit
MobileDog is run by two sisters carrying on a third-generation grooming trade. We do not subcontract appointments out. The person who grooms your dog in January is the person who grooms them in March, and by then they know the coat.
McLean Mobile Pet Grooming Packages
Three packages, priced by weight. Nail trimming and ear cleaning are included in all three rather than billed separately.
Signature Spa Bath
Coat maintenance between full grooms. Two warm hydro baths with premium shampoo and conditioner, a soothing massage, blow-dry, full brush-out, ear cleaning, nail trim, and a finishing bow or bandanna.
Pricing:
Starting at $140 for dogs up to 10 lbs. Pricing scales with weight.
Mini Makeover
Everything in the Signature Spa Bath, plus face trimming, feet and sanitary trim, and a gentle outline of furnishings. For a tidy, put-together look without a full haircut.
Pricing:
Starting at $150 for dogs up to 20 lbs. Pricing scales with weight.
Runway Ready Grooming
Everything in the Signature Spa Bath, plus a full-body professional haircut styled to breed standard, Asian Fusion, or your preference. Our most complete service, finished head to tail.
Pricing:
Starting at $155 for dogs up to 10 lbs. Pricing scales with weight.
Poodles and Doodles may carry an additional charge, since continuously growing coats take longer to work through properly.
What a McLean Appointment Looks Like
We arrive in a fully self-contained grooming van carrying warm water, professional tools, and climate control. Nothing is needed from inside your home.
Every visit includes:
-
A consultation to assess coat condition and agree on the finish you want
-
A warm bath with shampoo and conditioner matched to your dog's coat and skin
-
Hand drying and a full brush-out to protect coat quality
-
Trimming or a full haircut, depending on your package
-
Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and final detailing
Most appointments run between 60 minutes and two and a half hours depending on your dog's size, coat condition, and the service booked.

Yes. We need somewhere to park close to the entrance, which usually means a visitor space, a loading area, or the street depending on the building. Let us know your building when you book and we will sort the access out in advance rather than on the day.
Most appointments run between 60 minutes and two and a half hours, depending on your dog's size, coat condition, and the service booked. We give you an estimated window when you book.
We recommend being available for your first appointment so we can talk through your dog's needs. After that you do not need to watch the groom, just be reachable by phone.
Yes. Double coats need the right tools and the right approach, particularly during spring and autumn shedding when the undercoat releases. We use an undercoat rake and high-velocity drying to clear loose coat properly. We do not shave double-coated breeds, because shaving damages the coat's insulating structure and it often does not grow back the same.
MobileDog specializes in small and medium-sized dogs. If you are unsure whether your dog suits the van, call and we will tell you honestly rather than take a booking we cannot do well.
No. Both are included in every package. Some groomers price them as separate add-ons.
For many dogs, yes. The van is cage-free with no overlapping appointments, which removes the barking, unfamiliar smells, and crate time that make salons stressful. Dogs that have struggled at traditional salons often do noticeably better one-on-one.
We assess the coat before starting and talk through the options with you. Light matting can usually be worked out during the appointment. Severe matting sometimes needs a shorter cut to resolve safely, because combing out a tight mat is painful for the dog. We always discuss it with you first.
Most dogs do well on a four to eight week schedule depending on coat type. Curly and wavy coats like Poodles and Doodles need the shorter end, closer to four to six weeks. Short-coated breeds can stretch further.
For a specific day or time, a week or two ahead is safest. We groom a limited number of dogs each day, so the schedule fills faster than a high-volume salon.
Use the form on this page or call (571) 334-6486. We will ask for your dog's name, breed, weight, and your preferred date and time.
