Frequently asked questions about Rover

How much does grooming cost through Rover?

Grooming prices are set by the groomer and can vary depending on your dog's size, coat, and any additional services you include (nail trims, teeth brushing, de-shedding, and more).

For a full groom, small dogs average $86 and extra large dogs average $211. For a bath only, the average price drops to $51 for small dogs and $138 for extra large dogs.

You'll see the exact price a groomer charges on their profile before you book.

What is included in a full groom?

A full groom usually includes a bath, blow-dry, brush-out, haircut or trim, and nail trim. If you don't need a haircut, many groomers also offer a bath and brush only service, a lighter option that skips the trim. You can add add-on services like nail trims, teeth brushing, de-shedding, flea treatments, or paw balm for an additional cost. Check each groomer's profile to see exactly what's included in their packages and add-ons.

Can I request a specific haircut or style with my Brookdale groomer?

Yes. Most Brookdale groomers are happy to do breed-standard cuts, teddy bear cuts, puppy cuts, or a custom style you have in mind. The best way to make sure you're on the same page is to message your groomer before your appointment and share a photo or two of the look you want, and mention your dog's coat type. That way your groomer can let you know what's realistic for your dog's coat and confirm the plan ahead of time.

Do Brookdale groomers work with dogs who are difficult to groom?

Many Brookdale groomers have experience with dogs who need extra patience or special handling including senior dogs, anxious or nervous dogs, dogs with matted or difficult coats, and extra-large breeds. When you're browsing groomers, look for details about their experience in their profile, and message them directly to describe your dog's specific needs before confirming the booking. This helps your groomer prepare and gives you a chance to ask about their approach to a calm, low-stress visit.

How do I contact a Brookdale groomer for pet grooming?

If you're searching for a groomer in Brookdale for the first time, visit the groomer's profile and select Contact. If you already have an active request or have booked with a groomer before, you can message them directly through the Rover app or on rover.com.

How far in advance do I need to schedule to groom my pet in Brookdale?

It depends on the groomer, but popular time slots, especially weekends, can book up a week or more in advance. If you need an appointment sooner, some Brookdale groomers do offer last-minute or same-day availability, so it's worth checking a groomer's calendar or messaging them directly to ask. Booking at least two or more days ahead gives you the most options.

Are there groomers who accept walk-ins?

Rover is built around scheduled appointments rather than walk-ins, so you'll want to book ahead of time through a groomer's profile.

Some groomers may be able to accommodate a same-day request if their schedule allows. You can message them directly to ask about last-minute availability.

What vaccinations are required for pet grooming?

Requirements vary by state and sometimes by city, so it's worth confirming with your specific groomer.

Because exact requirements differ by groomer and location, the most reliable way to confirm what you'll need is to check your groomer's profile or message them directly before your appointment.

What areas of Brookdale do groomers serve?

Service areas vary by groomer, so the easiest way to check is to search with your exact address on Rover. You'll see which Brookdale groomers serve your area. Groomers on Rover offer two ways to get your dog groomed: some groomers travel to you, while others have you drop your dog off at their location. You can see which option a groomer offers, along with their service area, on their profile, or message them directly to confirm before booking.
