Many customers appreciated Larry's responsiveness, convenience, and the quality of grooming, with specific praise for his gentle handling of both dogs and cats, including effective solutions for matted fur and tailored grooming styles like the "lion cut." Conversely, some reviews noted instances of unprofessionalism, including issues with scheduling and poor communication, which significantly impacted customer satisfaction. Overall, while many customers were thrilled with the results and personal attention from Larry, others expressed disappointment regarding service reliability and professionalism.
I adopted a rescue dog a few months ago and haven’t been sure what to do with his long, thin coat. I brought him to Larry, who knew exactly what to do to have him looking his best. He also gave me excellent advice about caring for my dog’s coat, including when to schedule another grooming appointment and how to prevent matting. My dog is a bit timid and was shaking at first when I dropped him off. However, he was far more relaxed when I picked him up, which assured me that Larry knew exactly what he was doing and how to handle my dog to ensure his grooming experience wasn’t stressful. Thanks, Larry!
Larry showed up to the apt looking all flustered. I watched him whipping his van around angrily looking for parking. Larry could use more patience. He appeared to be on the verge of crisis. The grooming itself was below average.
If you're looking for a mobile pet grooming, stay away from Modern Pet Mobile Grooming and stay away from Larry. He rescheduled with me twice, at the last minute, which I was more than understanding about. Then today, he showed up late at the wrong house because he wrote down the address wrong and blamed it on me. He kept saying "You blew it. You absolutely blew." And yelled at me about giving him the wrong address. Rude, unprofessional, and unnecessary. I really hoped for better.
I hired Larry on behalf of my employer’s dogs. Larry is very fast, efficient, and sweet to the pups. Mobile grooming is such a treat and the dogs are less anxious. Highly recommend.
We can't thank Larry enough for helping us out at such short notice to groom our new terrier. Lucky for us, Larry had a cancellation and reached out to me right away to try to rework his schedule. We brought our little guy home from the shelter today and an hour later, Larry took great care of him from top to tail right in our driveway. We asked for a puppy cut to give him a fresh start and Larry did not disappoint! If you are looking for a patient, knowledgeable and gentle groomer, Larry's your man. His service is amazing!
My cat is long haired and it got to a point where I couldn't take care of his fur coat- lots of shedding and matted. I was super happy when I found modern pet mobile grooming. Larry is really responsive and will come to you in his mobile grooming van which is super convenient. Overall, he did a wonderful job! My cat's fur feels like velvet and his lion cut is adorable! 😊 I highly recommend!
Larry did a great job on my 12yr old Bichon. He has alopecia but you can't really tell because of the way Larry grooms it! ❤️ My baby hates riding in the car so this has been life changing for him! ❤️
Our older cat just needed his nails trimmed, while our younger cat needed some serious work on his fur. Poor guy was matting up so bad and no amount of brushing was working anymore. He slunk around everywhere, he was in so much discomfort. We got the lion cut for the younger cat and the transformation was amazing! No more slinking. Instead he is walking around with his tail high and looking at peace. We'll definitely be using Larry's services again!
Thank you so much for fitting my Puppy in so soon. You did a great job and she looks exactly what I asked for. Highly recommend.

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.
