Frequently asked questions

• What areas do you serve?

  Hillcrest, University Heights, North Park, Mission Hills, South Park, Mission Valley, Point Loma, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, La Jolla, and surrounding communities. Parking permitting.

• Do I need to provide a parking space?

  Not necessarily. I just need a safe, legal place to park the van that's reasonably close to your home. Street parking is perfect in most neighborhoods.

• Can you groom on steep hills?

  For safety, the van needs to be parked on relatively level ground. If your street is very steep, we may arrange to park on a nearby flatter street or designated parking area that's within a short walking distance.

• Do you need to use my water or electricity?

  Nope! The van is fully equipped with everything I need. It has it's own onboard generators and fresh water tanks.

• Do I need to tip?

  No! Prices are all inclusive and include tip, so no akward screen flip here!

• Why only small dogs?

  Little Dog Mobile Studio was intentionally designed for dogs under about 20 lbs. The van, equipment, and appointment flow are all optimized for small breeds so every dog receives one-on-one attention in a calm, comfortable environment.

• I have one small dog and one larger dog. Can you groom both?

  Little Dog Mobile Studio is designed exclusively for small dogs. While I'd love to help every pup, my equipment, workspace, and schedule are intentionally built around smaller breeds to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible.

• My dog has anxiety. Is mobile grooming a good option?

  While some dogs do better in a one on one mobile service over high volume noisy salon, if your pet has exhibitted agressive (biting/nipping) behavior or needs extra restraint, I may not be able to complete the service safely in a tight space alone.

• Do you groom puppies?

  Absolutely! Puppy appointments are a wonderful way to introduce grooming in a positive, low-stress environment.

• How long does the appointment take?

  Most appointments take about 1.5–2 hours depending on coat condition, size, behavior, and the services requested.
