Frequently Asked Questions
Mobile grooming with Grooming by Karol offers unmatched convenience right at your doorstep. We eliminate stressful car rides for your pet and save you valuable time. Your beloved companion receives one-on-one, personalized attention in a familiar, stress-free environment, without the distractions or exposure to other animals often found in traditional salons. It’s a calmer, more comfortable experience for everyone involved!
For the initial appointment, we recommend you are home so your pet can get acquainted with Karol and the mobile salon in your presence. This helps establish trust and comfort. For subsequent appointments, if your dog has adjusted well, you might not need to be present – we can discuss what works best for your schedule and your pet’s needs.
We ask that your pup has had a chance to relieve themselves before our scheduled appointment. Having them ready with a collar or harness and leash when we arrive helps ensure a smooth transition into our mobile salon. We’ll handle everything else inside our fully-equipped van!
The duration varies depending on your pet’s size, breed, coat condition, and the specific services requested. Generally, a full grooming session for a smaller dog can take around 1.5 hours, while larger breeds or those with dense, matted coats might require 2-3 hours. We focus on quality and comfort, not rushing the process.
Absolutely! Our Grooming by Karol van is a complete, self-sufficient pet spa. It’s equipped with its own clean water tanks, a water heater, a generator for power, and state-of-the-art, commercial-grade grooming tools and equipment. We maintain a climate-controlled environment with both AC and heat, ensuring your pet is comfortable year-round. There’s no need for you to provide water or electricity.
Mobile grooming is often an ideal solution for anxious or sensitive dogs! The one-on-one attention means no barking from other dogs, no unfamiliar smells, and no crates. Being groomed right outside their home, in a calm and quiet setting, significantly reduces stress and can transform grooming into a much more positive experience for your pup.
We offer a comprehensive range of grooming services, including baths with premium shampoos and conditioners, professional haircuts and styling (from breed-specific to custom trims), de-shedding treatments, nail trims and filing, ear cleaning, and paw pad care. We also offer specialized services for pets with unique coat or skin needs.
Your pet’s safety is our highest priority. Our van features commercial-grade, professionally installed equipment, including a marine-grade carbon monoxide detector. We rigorously clean and sanitize our tools and workspace after every pet. Karol is trained in gentle handling techniques and will never perform a service that could cause pain or discomfort. We also require a review of your pet’s health history to be aware of any pre-existing conditions and will always prioritize their well-being, even if it means pausing or adjusting a service.
It’s easy! Simply Call (786) 278-2341 to schedule your pet’s personalized mobile grooming appointment. We look forward to bringing the spa experience right to your home in Orlando!
