1. Qilian X.
“She is an amazing groomer! She is very skilled at creating adorable peach-butt and heart-shaped butt trims, and she also does a great job with professional teeth cleaning. She is gentle, patient, and takes great care to make dogs feel comfortable and safe throughout the grooming process.”
2. Francena F.
“I booked a grooming appointment with Francena and she did amazing on my dog! My dog has issues with people touching her paws, I let her know in advance and she was able to work with Lava to get the whole grooming completed paws included 🐾 will be going back to Francena again!”
3. Lois J.
“Lois did a great job with our husky who isn’t a fan of grooming! She was quick and efficient which shows experience! In and out in under an hour. Gave some tips on his shedding and ear cleaning too. The industrial dryer she has was used in the garage and boy did the hair go everywhere! Fortunately it was in the garage so cleanup was a breeze!”
4. Samantha E.
“Samantha has groomed my two Yorkies several times now. She is fantastic! She’s courteous and very reliable. The dogs just look adorable when she’s done!!”
5. Jordin B.
“Jordin did an amazing job with our Shih Tzu, Bella! We took her in for the full treatment—bath, haircut, and nail trim—and she came back looking absolutely beautiful. We’re really happy with how everything turned out and how well Jordin took care of her. This was a great experience, and we will definitely be bringing Bella back to her again. Highly recommend!”
6. Mei W.
“Mei was amazing! With the arrival of a new baby, our two Samoyeds had been completely neglected. Their long coats were dirty and severely matted. Mei worked very hard and, in fact, surpassed our expectations. Our 10 year old Sammy’s have never looked better. I highly recommend Mei to anyone who wants a first-rate job done on their pup. Thank you, Mei!”

Frequently asked questions about 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.
- 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.
- Yes. Most Des Moines 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.
- Many Des Moines 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.
- If you're searching for a groomer in Des Moines 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.
- 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 Des Moines 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.
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.
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.
- Service areas vary by groomer, so the easiest way to check is to search with your exact address on Rover. You'll see which Des Moines 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.
