We text our ETA, park in your driveway, and learn your dog’s needs and quirks. Then comes ear cleaning, nails, a warm-water bath, a hand blow dry and the haircut.

Done at your door

We return your dog and check the grooming meets your expectations. If you are ready, we book the next visit.

I desperately needed my little one groomed. Just moved to the area and started calling many places not knowing what to expect. John was the only one out of many places that called me back within an hour and he was able to get her in same-day. Very communicative and very helpful. He seemed very gentle with her. And very kind with me. I will definitely be calling him up again next time Mila needs a groom. I highly recommend his services.

John was very patient with my dog due to his anxiety and aggression. He was very welcoming and gave me tips to maintain his fur due to matting.

We’ve been Pack Leader for our dogs and couldn’t be happier. He is always so patient, caring, and gentle with them, especially with our senior dog who needs a little extra attention and comfort. You can tell he truly loves animals and treats them like his own. The convenience of mobile grooming is great, but the level of care and kindness is what really stands out. Our dogs always come back looking great and feeling relaxed. Highly recommend!

This is by far the best groomer (mobile or otherwise) I have ever had. His attention to detail, his vast experience and his patience is outstanding. He really takes time to listen to his customer. He actually LOVES animals and takes tender care. Bottom line- I am always pleased.

We LOVE using The Pack Leader! I reached out a couple of years ago after losing our preferred doodle groomer at a local shop. We decided to try a mobile groomer, and I will never go back 😅 My mini doodles have A LOT of hair, and they can be a bit much! But I can tell they are handled with such care and love every single time. They always come out looking flawless. I also really appreciate that there are never any cuts/burns. We will be loyal customers forever!

John is great!!! When I moved to Forney a couple of years ago I was in search of a mobile groomer because my dog and I had anxiety because the last groomer hurt my dog. Johns friendly demeanor soothed my Anxiety and we have been his client ever since. John is even works with my schedule!!! I definitely recommend him!

John has groomed our lagotto romagnolo for well over a year. He is seriously "the dog whisperer". We know our dog is in safe hands while being groomed and always comes home so happy:) John treats him kindly and knows which haircut he needs at various times of the year. Excellent with ear hair and nail cutting too! Thank you John!! (an extra plus is that he comes to our front door to take him and brings him back to the same door.)

John has been grooming my Shih-Tzu for over 3 years now. He takes the best care of her and she comes out looking spectacular every time. I highly recommend The Pack Leader and couldn't see myself taking my dog to anyone else. 10/10 service!

Absolutely amazing! I have an anxious, aggressive schnauzer poodle mix (Neville) so places like PetSmart refused to even try to groom him. I'm a bit embarrassed that Neville is so difficult with strangers, so I was nervous bringing him to anyone and would avoid it until it was absolutely necessary. Then I found The Pack Leader. He takes the time to sit with Neville before starting anything. Neville never gets 100% comfortable during the sessions, but with each visit, he's getting better. Our first session took almost 3 hours. Today took less than 2! And he always looks great when I pick him up! I now have recurring appointments set up because we are so happy with The Pack Leader!

our older dog Carlie is very anxious and always had intestinal issues after the groomers. Too much noise and chaos always resulted in a vet visit. She loves John, but hates the bath! He is so good with her and she is clean, smells good and relaxed. 10 of 10 would recommend.

Wow! Is the best way to describe my experience with John, the Pack Leader for the Mobile Grooming Service I experienced. I have been looking for a reliable dog groomer since I returned to Forney. My experiences from some well known pet groomers in the area were less than Stella; however, my experience with the Pack Leader Mobile Grooming service was by far STELLA. I paid $32 dollars more than what I have ever paid for my fur baby, but what I desired for my fur baby is what I got, a full grooming that did not leave him looking a hot mess. Instead, John took time to calm my fur baby down by walking him and working with him to de-matt and care for his fur providing him with an even and smooth cut. I also appreciate John's patience by finding a time and day suitable for my schedule. This grooming service is Monday-Friday with no weekends. He also serves the Forney, TX area. John gave me some helpful tips to help me keep my fur baby's fur, which includes his tail, manageable. I highly recommend this dog grooming service if you are looking for top quality care for you fur baby. I am excited about my next appointment. I will work hard to ensure it is cheaper than this one by following up on John's grooming advice.

I love these guys. I have a maltese who had never been groomed by a professional before. he is 4 yr old... i was clipping him myself. They did an EXCELLENT job. I was leary that my dog was going to snap at them but he didn't. I will be calling them to groom my dog again!

I have never left a review before, but this groomer was incredible with my dog Luna today. She was extremely matted after being left with my parents while we traveled. He took the time to get to know Luna, walking her and loving on her before putting her in the van, then spent hours working on her matted hair. She also isn't stressed out like she normally is after being groomed. I highly recommend them.

Found our new regular groomer for both our dogs! Was nervous to switch groomers since our dogs have anxiety issues and have been going to the same groomer for years but we've never liked that our dogs are gone for 6-8 hours and sitting in kennels surrounded by tons of other dogs barking (which causes added stress/anxiety)....so we decided to give this mobile grooming service a try. John was so nice and patient with both our dogs - he sat on their level petting them and getting to know them and then walked them around the yard as well. On top of all that, the dogs look AWESOME and smell great. He also did a great job on the nails because I no longer hear them "clacking" on our hardwood floors. Would definitely recommend this mobile groomer!

Joao is the best groomer I have ever had. First off, he truly loves animals. This is so important when trusting someone with your pet. He is such a kind and gentle person. The first time he met my dogs he asked if he could bring them for a walk first so the dogs could get to know and be comfortable with him. This is a first by any groomer! He is so convenient because he comes to your home and picks your dog up from your front door. We have been grooming our pups for several years and have never found someone so passionate about pampering and caring for our dogs to make sure they look fabulous but are also not stressed out during the process. He is simply the best.

I highly recommend The Pack Leader. John is a dog whisperer! I have an eleven year old Miniature Schnuazer who has recently been diagnosed with health issues, is very anxious about grooming and decided he was not going to be groomed. After being turned down by a couple of groomers who said they worked with senior dogs, I found The Pack Leader on Yelp. I called John and talked to him about my shy boy. John was very kind and reassuring. We set the appointment and when he arrived he took my dog and sat on the porch and chatted with him, then walked him a little bit before taking him into the grooming van. John did not rush and carried him to the door when the grooming was complete. I was amazed! My pup was relaxed and looked great! John is going to groom both of our pups when he returns in a few weeks. Worry no more. John is the very best!
