What Our Clients Are Saying
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!"
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!!"
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!"
