• What is House Call Grooming? House Call Grooming is a MOBILE PET GROOMING SALON on wheels. Our van is customized to provide a full-service grooming experience for your pet.

• What services do you offer? We offer two different grooming packages. Check our “services” page for additional information.

• Do you service my neighborhood? We service northern Allegheny County and Cranberry Township. Specifically: Allison Park, Bellevue, Ben Avon, Bradford Woods, Cranberry, Franklin Park, Gibsonia, Marshall Twp., McCandless, Ohio Twp., Pine, Ross, Sewickley, West View and Wexford.

• What products do you use? We use high-end spa & all-natural grooming products such as hypo-allergenic and oatmeal shampoo. We DO NOT charge extra for these specialty products.

• Does the pet owner need to provide anything? No. All we need is a place to park and a pet to pamper.

• Will your equipment be clean and sterile? Absolutely! Grooming equipment is sanitized between clients. Plus the entire van is cleaned & sterilized every evening. Additionally, your pet is never exposed to other dogs or communal cages. This drastically reduces the chance for transmission of disease or parasites between pets.

• Can I watch? You are welcome to tour the van and inspect the equipment. Most pets behave better when mom & dad are not within eyesight. If we need assistance, we will call & ask you to come out to the van.

• Do I have to be home? The pet owner needs to be home & available for questions during the initial groom. After the first appointment, it is not necessary for the owner to be present. Just let us know ahead of time, so we can make arrangements for access to your home/pet.

• How long does it take? It depends on the pet, but usually two hours.

• What kinds of pets do you groom? We groom dogs (75 lbs. or less).

• What if my dog bites? For safety reasons, we do not groom overly-aggressive pets.

• Is mobile grooming more expensive than grooming shops? Not really. Our prices are competitive with grooming shops and other mobile groomers in the area. Please call or email for a grooming quote.

• How do I schedule an appointment? Call/Text 412-926-5211 or send an e-mail.

• …and about the groomer? I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Pet Grooming and Pampered Pet School of Pet Grooming. I have been schooled in the art of traditional grooming, sling grooming, “clipper-vac” grooming, creative grooming, pet CPR & first aid and cat grooming.
