Park and Bark Mobile Dog Grooming is an absolute treasure! Having Ramon come directly to my home makes life easier, especially for my dog Lionel, who’s almost 13-hates car rides and usually gets nervous during washes. Ramon is gentle, patient and caring with my dog. He immediately puts my pup, Lionel at ease. Lionel always emerges from the white van looking clean, feeling so soft, and he’s also calm, happy, and very proud of his adorable little handkerchief! It’s a thoughtful touch that captures the care and attention Ramon provides. I’m impressed by how much Ramon cares about his four-legged clients. He is incredibly reliable, kind and does an awesome job! The price is also reasonable considering you don’t have to leave your house and pre-booking services is a breeze. If you’re looking for a top-tier mobile groomer, Park and Bark is it. Ramon is amazing, and I highly recommend their services!
I recently used Park and Bark mobile pet cleaning service, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment they arrived at my home, the team was friendly, professional, and so gentle with my dog. They brought everything they needed, and the convenience of not having to leave my house was a game-changer. The grooming was top-notch—my dog came out looking and smelling fantastic! They took their time to make sure he was comfortable throughout the entire process, and even offered tips for maintaining his coat between cleanings. Highly recommend Park and Bark for anyone looking for a stress-free and quality dog grooming experience!
Park N Bark is the best! They are always professional, courteous, punctual and do a great job grooming Bentley! They come to us, and do a better job than our old groomer that was halfway across town. Never going back!
Park & Bark is the best mobile grooming service around. They always take care of my two dogs. Blanco and Raven truly has been a blessing to be able to continue to work from home without having the hassle of taking my dogs to a regular groomer. Highly recommend!
Park and Bark has been an absolute godsend when it comes to grooming our mini goldendoodle, and I can’t recommend them enough! Selene has gone above and beyond to make sure our pup is comfortable, and it shows by how cute and happy he looks every time he goes in for his haircut! If you’ve been curious about mobile grooming, I highly suggest booking your first one with Park and Bark!!
I use Park and Bark as a monthly groomer for my dog and cannot say enough good things about them! Ramon is so great with my pup who had some anxiety with groomers from some not so great previous experiences with a different company. My dog recognizes Ramon when he arrives and no longer shows any signs of distress before/during/after grooming! They are always punctual, highly communicative and you can tell how much they care for their clients. Grooming is now a highlight of the month as my pup is pampered from head to toe and truly gets a 5 star treatment!
HIGHLY recommend Park and Bark. They handle my 3-year-old pug, who's not the easiest, with such care and patience. She always comes out looking and smelling great! The convenience of them coming to us saves us so much time and stress--no more worrying about drop-offs or rushing to appointments. Amazing service!
I have been so SO happy with Park and Bark ever since I started taking my mini poodle, Lily, to them in March 2024. It feels like pet grooming in Austin is so hit or miss and before Park and Bark, we had just gotten misses. However, after our first groom, I knew this is who I wanted to take Lily to! The owners are a married couple, and they do baths to full grooms. Our first “trial” was a bath and then the next appt was a groom. Lily was so calm and happy compared to how nervous she’d be with other companies! They treated her with so much love and care, and they would update me with pictures sometimes! I felt so safe knowing they’d literally just park in my apartment building parking lot and text me so I could walk to come get her as soon as they were done! Sadly I am leaving Texas so we can’t take Lily to Park and Bark anymore but these lovely people brought back my trust in pet groomers, specifically mobile ones! We will miss you guys 🥺
Park and Bark was so wonderful for my dog, Ron’s, first grooming since our big move to Austin. Selene was so attentive and caring with our Ronnie. I informed her before she started that Ron had a bad experience at an emergency vet that made him scared of anyone new grooming his paws after having to have an IV put in. Selene was able to adapt to Ron’s pace and make adaptations to leave him looking dapper while remaining comfortable. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful groomer!
This is a proactive referral and 50 star recommendation for Park and Bark! I've been using Park and Bark exclusively for more than 3 years and the family-owned business of Selene and Ramon, who own and operate it, are awesome. Wanted to spread the word! It's been a game changer on saving time (they come to you) and reducing stress on our senior dog (no more all day grooming appointment with her waiting in a stressful crate). And the outcome is always exactly what we ask for. And another note for senior dog owners - the care they show us and our dog, Zoe is so unique. Zoe is now 16 and has mobility issues. Yet Selene is always so patient. I'm not sure I'd be able to take Zoe to another groomer at this point. The professionalism and skill is off the charts.

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
