FAQs for finding pet groomers near you in Washington, DC

The average cost for pet grooming services near you in Washington, DC is $18.32 per hour. Remember—this is just an average to help you start your pet grooming research. One of the biggest factors that will determine how much you’ll spend is the type of pet grooming service you’re looking for. For example, a quick wash will likely cost less than a wash, cut, and blow dry.

There are a wide variety of pet grooming services near you in Washington, DC. While you may be able to find some specialty pet grooming services in your area (like doggy hair dyeing), you will very likely find a wide range of more popular services. From washing, brushing, cutting, drying, nail clipping, and teeth and ear cleanings, most pet groomers offer the same standard services.

To find the best pet groomers near you in Washington, DC, we recommend using Care.com to start your search. You can sort pet groomer profiles by location and rate to find a pet groomer that is easy to access and that works with your budget. From there you can read reviews from real customers to learn more about what each pet groomer is like to work with.

When hiring a pet groomer near you in Washington, DC, it’s important that you take the steps necessary to feel comfortable about who will provide care for your beloved pet. We do ask all pet groomers listed on Care.com to complete an annual background check referred to as a CareCheck. If a pet groomer completed this background check, you’ll find a badge on their profile that indicates the date the background check was run. However, this is just a jumping off point. We strongly advise you to do your own due diligence when hiring a dog groomer to ensure safety, such as running an independent background check or requesting professional references.

Unless you have a really easy going pet and are skilled in the pet grooming department, you’ll likely find that hiring a pet groomer near you in Washington, DC is well worth the money. Many dogs don’t like bath time or having their nails cut and can make at-home grooming a difficult task.
