It's Aussie Pet Mobile with a new name, two very different Bay Area franchises, and quote-only pricing. Here's the record.
We compete with them for South Bay driveways, so read this with that in mind. Their San Jose franchise has one of the best review records in the field, and if your dog needs a haircut it deserves your call. The honest difference is the pricing model: theirs is quoted, ours is published.
The franchise that actually serves San Jose
Note if you're searching from the East Bay: that's a different franchise (Oakland, 3.6★ on Yelp), it does not serve San Jose, and several of its reviews describe slow or unconfirmed booking. The brand is only as good as the territory operator — check which one your address gets.
Bay Area Mobile Dog Wash — San Jose & the South Bay
Wash, de-shed, nails and ears at your door with heated water — no haircuts, no cats, no add-on ladder. The price is published by size, $55–115, de-shed included in the tiers that need it. Evenings and weekends, text to book. We are the new small operator in this comparison and our review base is a fraction of theirs; we'd rather tell you that than have you find out.
Figures from barkandmane.com franchise pages and public Yelp/Google listings, September 2026. Reviewer price reports are individual accounts, not a rate card.
Haircut breed, or a cat? Book Bark & Mane of South Bay. That is full-groomer work and their local record at it is strong.
A dog that needs cleaning, not cutting? Book us. For Labs, Goldens, Huskies, Shepherds and Pit mixes, the bath-and-blowout is the whole job — and with us it has a published number instead of a quote plus add-ons.
Still comparing? All the local mobile options sit side-by-side in the vans compared, and the full price ladder is on the pricing page.
Published price, no quote call, usually same week.
