Ready to leave the salon chaos behind?
No stacked dogs. No overbooked days. No rushing through grooms just to keep up.
At Bark & Mane (previously Aussie Pet Mobile), we've built a calmer, more intentional way to groom- one pet at a time, right in the comfort of the client's driveway. No cages, no salon noise, no interruptions. Just you, the pet, and the work you're good at.
Why Groomers Are Making the Switch to Mobile
- One-on-one grooms = less stress, better quality work

- Communicating with pet parents professionally and warmly about what's best for their pet
- Keeping your van clean, stocked, and organized
- Delivering a consistently high-quality groom
