A Simpler Way to Keep Your Dog Clean
Palo Alto households run busy, and the half-day a salon trip eats is a genuine cost here. A wash that comes to the driveway in Midtown or Barron Park and hands the dog back dry takes that whole errand off the calendar. The dogs themselves earn their washes: Baylands trail walks end in marsh mud, and Pearson-Arastradero and Foothills load double coats with foxtails and dry-season dust. The older streets of Crescent Park and College Terrace have the deep driveways that suit a van perfectly, so we can set up off the street and work without anyone shuffling cars.
- No Salon Drive — Your dog stays close to home while we handle the wash.
- One-on-One Attention — Your dog is our only focus for the entire appointment.
- Convenient at Home — Just answer the door — we bring the water, power and warm-water tub.

What our customers say
Trusted by Bay Area dog parents
★★★★★
SUCH a great - and easy! - experience! Asa was immediately responsive (I love when businesses actually answer their phone!), worked Moose in within 24 hours, was communicative throughout, bought unscented products specifically for us, did a great job with my 12 year old doodle … all in all: amazing service!
★★★★★
Ace at Bay Area Mobile Dog Wash was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog. He was so gentle and patient with him, which meant everything to me given his age — I could tell he genuinely cared about his comfort throughout the whole process. Beyond the excellent care, Ace was warm, loving, and clearly an animal lover at heart, while also being completely professional from start to finish. It's rare to find someone who balances that kind of tenderness with real expertise, and my dog came out looking and smelling great without a hint of stress. Highly recommend Ace and Bay Area Mobile Dog Wash.
★★★★☆
Ace was great with my 3 small dogs. They got washed and towel dried, their ears checked, their nails trimmed. One star off because he trimmed one nail too far and it bled for a long time, plus distressed my already anxious dog. Important to know that this service isn't van-based (yet). Ace brings a portable wash station to set up outside. He brings his own water and supplies. He doesn't do any hair cuts, just basic wash and towel dry. I'll call him again in the future!
★★★★★
Ace did a great job with our little old chihuahua mix. Our appointment was for the evening and he came prepared with warm water, and made our sure our dog was comfortable the entire time. Don't let the lack of reviews on yelp scare you away, his prices are good, and he takes time to ensure that good work is done.
★★★★★
He did such an amazing job with my dog! He came out looking so nice, clean, and well-groomed, but what stood out to me most was how happy and comfortable he seemed afterward. You can really tell he was treated with care throughout the entire process. I'm extremely pleased with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend him!

★★★★★
We booked Bay Area Mobile Dog Wash for our 90-lb German Shepherd, Koda, who hates the groomer. Ace parked the van right in our driveway in Willow Glen, walked her up the ramp himself — no lifting, no cage, no other dogs — and I watched the whole wash from my doorstep. Bath, nails, ears, and she came back inside dry and calm. Flat $95 exactly as the website said, no surprise charges. We've already booked next month. 😊❤️

Hi, I’m Ace.
I run Bay Area Mobile Dog Wash myself — I’m the one who shows up at your door. Every visit is one dog at a time in the van at your curb: warm water, a full brush-out and a proper dry, with no salon drive and no cage waiting. Big dogs, heavy shedders and nervous seniors are the reason this service exists.

Common Questions
Completely normal, and one of the main reasons Palo Alto customers book. Baylands mud is fine-grained and works into paws and bellies. A full warm wash the same day gets it out before it dries into the coat and your floors.
Yes, as a matter of course on any trail dog. Foxtails work into paws, ears and armpits. If we find any we will point them out, and if one is already embedded that is a vet visit rather than a grooming job.
Yes. Older Palo Alto streets often come with deep driveways, which suit us better than the curb does. We need roughly one parking space and about 10 feet of clear width, and most driveways in Crescent Park and College Terrace have both.
Flat by size, from $75 for small dogs — the same flat price for every coat type, with no travel fee anywhere in our zone. The full table is on the pricing page.
