Dog Grooming Pickup & Drop-Off in Verona, NJ, The Pet Chauffeur
No time to bring your dog to us? No problem. Our Pet Chauffeur picks your dog up at your door, grooms them in our no-crate Verona salon, and brings them home freshly groomed. A round trip is just $20 for the standard distance, and you don’t load a wet, wriggly dog into your car or rearrange your day around a drop-off. Very few salons anywhere in Essex County offer this, most that “come to you” are mobile vans. We’re a real salon that does the driving for you. We groom dogs only. Call (973) 857-2799 and ask for the Pet Chauffeur when you book.
How the Pet Chauffeur works
It’s simple, and it takes nothing extra off your plate:
- Book your groom. Call (973) 857-2799 and mention you’d like Pet Chauffeur pickup and drop-off. Give us your address so we can confirm you’re in range and quote the round trip.
- We come to you. At your scheduled time, our team arrives at your door and collects your dog. No strangers, no shared rides, just us.
- We groom at the salon. Your dog is groomed at 133 Bloomfield Ave in Verona using full salon equipment, then waits and dries crate-free in our supervised play area.
- We bring them home. When the groom is done, we drive your dog straight back to your door, clean and calm.
Pet Chauffeur pricing
Honest and flat, no quote form required:
| Pet Chauffeur | Price |
|---|---|
| Round trip (pickup + drop-off), up to 4 miles | $20 |
| Each additional mile past 4 (to a 10-mile radius) | +$5 / mile |
That $20 covers most of our core towns. The per-mile add-on only applies if you’re toward the edge of the radius. The grooming itself is priced separately by your dog’s size and coat, see the full dog grooming price guide, or add the Pet Chauffeur to any service on our services page. If you’re not sure you’re in range, just call and we’ll check your address against the 10-mile radius.
The salon advantage: why this beats a grooming van
Here’s the thing most people don’t realize. When a grooming van parks in your driveway, your dog is still bathed in a cramped space with a small portable tub and a generator humming outside. With the Pet Chauffeur, your dog is groomed in a full, fixed salon:
- Full-size walk-in tubs, a proper, comfortable wash, not a squeeze into a tiny basin.
- An electric lift table for large and senior dogs, so big bodies are handled safely and gently.
- Force dryers and real working space, faster, more thorough drying and a better finish.
- A supervised, no-crate play area where your dog can dry off and relax instead of waiting boxed up.
So you get the convenience of a mobile service, you never make the drive, with the equipment and space of an actual salon. That’s a combination no van and no walk-in salon can match. For a side-by-side, see why dog owners choose us.

Who the Pet Chauffeur is for
It’s a lifesaver for the families juggling the most: two big dogs and one car, parents shuttling kids to practice, anyone working long hours, and owners of seniors or anxious dogs who’d rather skip a stressful car ride entirely. Because we’re a no-crate, no-sedation salon, your dog stays calm from the moment we pick them up to the moment we bring them back. And our staff speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, so the whole family can coordinate the pickup easily.

When you book your groom, say you’d like Pet Chauffeur pickup and give us your address. We come to you, collect your dog, groom them at our Verona salon, and bring them home. You drop nothing off and pick nothing up.
