This was Mahina’s first mobile grooming experience, and Maria did a great job making her feel comfortable! Mahina is very sensitive about her paws and doesn’t like having her nails touched, but Maria was able to trim them without any issues. Mahina came out looking great, and I can tell she wasn’t overly stressed…

Very nice van and the groomer was very friendly. She sent pics of the dogs after they were groomed. The mobile service cost about $140 (that’s 2 basset hounds) more than when I take them to the groomer. You have to weigh if the convenience of getting a mobile groomer is worth the extra money.

Patricia JohnsonLocal Guide · 18 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Patricia has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Have a 5 yr old Australian Shephard who we rescued when she was 3 months old! We had taken her to a groomer for 4+ yrs where staff completely changed, prices became ridiculous! First time we used a mobile groomer, Maria was fantastic!! Stella's coat is back to being beautiful! I took her to a groomer off of Scottsdale/Shea a few months back. They told me they couldnt cut her wiskers (she is a princess!) I have had her groomed every 4-5 weeks since I got her, whiskers cut/trimed every time. She was itchy, scraggly (my fault not hers!) looking, nails were long (Maria mentioned, she cut them not too short & grinded them but we don't want to take them too short the first time & Stella not have a good experience and have her paws be overly sensative) She recommended working on each time so go them back to where they were without raising Stella's anxiety - how thoughtful!
They will have a client for as long as I have Stella!! Call them and book an appt! Truly a wonderful groomer, great communication & in 1 hr Stella was back in "her home" (she allows us to live here :) where normally she is at a groomer & in a cage while other pets are seen to so 2-4 hours. Highly recommend Knotota Mobile Dog Grooming of Scottsdale
Response from the owner · 3 weeks ago
We truly appreciate this lovely review, Patricia. It means so much that Stella felt comfortable and that Maria could restore her coat while easing her into nail and whisker care. We take pride in gentle handling and clear communication, and we are delighted to be part of Stella's routine. Thank you for recommending us, we look forward to caring for her again.
