Five Star Experience
We had a wonderful experience today!
"Ruben did an excellent job grooming Stanley! Not only does Stanley look fabulous, clearly he feels terrific too and really liked Ruben. Ruben was so warm and kind that he put Stanley at ease right away. Looking forward to our next appointment with Ruben when he will groom our other dog, Remi!"
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!!"
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!"
I couldn’t believe how cute Luna looked after!!!
"Luna’s 1st puppy grooming today was absolutely amazing with Marisol today! The van was clean and Marisol was professional and friendly and Luna loved her!! I couldn’t believe how cute Luna looked after!!! I would highly recommend this service and so much easier for puppies."
Will be recommending your service to everyone I know!
"My groomer, Evelyn, is truly a wonderful person. From the moment Belle met her, I think she felt really comfortable with her. Evelyn sent pictures to me at every stage of the groom and Belle looked happy in each picture. Thanks again for the great service provided by Barkbus and Evelyn."
My pup is HAPPY and CUUUTE. Worth every cent!
"I really like the thoroughness of these folk! Mandy did a great job making sure my pup Pearl was acclimated before going ahead with the grooming. Lots of pets and sweet talk. Best of all, they came to my house, i received updates (with pictures!) throughout the grooming, she triple checked on the grooming notes, and my pup is HAPPY and CUUUTE. Worth every cent. Especially if you have a nervous doggo."
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!"
Our experience with Barkbus was 15/10!
"We have a toy poodle (8) and a golden doodle (5). They have been groomed since they were babies and this was by far the best they have ever been groomed. Kitty was our groomer and I cannot say enough great things. She was on time, professional, knowledgable, and had great communication throughout the entire appointment. She was very attentive and told us anything she saw that was out of the norm (if any). We will be returning clients of Barkbus & Kitty. Thank you so much! My babies are so happy."
She came back fluffy, clean and confident.
"Ezra did an awesome job grooming our dog! She came back fluffy, clean and confident. She was overdue for a nail trim which isn't her favorite thing to have done, but Ezra was able to make it happen. I'm so pleased with the professionalism and quality service we experienced."

Elgin, Illinois is a scenic and dog-loving city nestled along the Fox River, known for its historic charm, spacious parks, and an active outdoor lifestyle that welcomes four-legged friends. With access to beautiful walking routes like the Fox River Trail and the Illinois Prairie Path, and off-leash playtime at Freedom Run Dog Park, local pups have no shortage of ways to burn off energy. To keep dogs looking their best after all that activity, Barkbus offers premium mobile dog grooming services—right at your doorstep. From relaxing dog baths and precision dog haircuts to careful dog nail clipping, our dog grooming van is fully equipped to handle it all with care and convenience.
Unlike traditional dog salons that can feel overwhelming, Barkbus provides personalized, one-on-one grooming in a calm, cage-free environment. Our expert dog groomers, dog bathers, and dog trimmers specialize in grooming pups of all sizes and breeds—from playful puppies needing their first trim to large breeds requiring extra TLC. Whether you're searching for “dog groomers near me”, a skilled puppy groomer, or a local dog groomer who comes to you, Barkbus brings professional grooming tailored to your dog’s needs.
Once your pup is freshly groomed, Elgin offers plenty of dog-friendly dining options for a post-spa treat. Grab a table outside at Old Republic Kitchen + Bar, where dogs are welcome on the patio, or stop by Danny’s on Douglas, a local favorite with a relaxed vibe perfect for sharing a bite with your furry friend. With Barkbus, your dog stays clean, happy, and ready to enjoy every adventure Elgin has to offer.
