The Pooch Mobile Rolls Through the Neighborhood

After years in the corporate world, Janet Hermes decided to trade meetings and spreadsheets for suds and tail wags. These days, she’s the friendly face behind The Pooch Mobile, a mobile dog washing service that brings a full grooming setup right to your front door.

Janet serves a wide stretch of the South Denver suburbs—from Littleton and Englewood to Lone Tree and Heritage Hills—offering gentle, professional care to pups of all shapes and sizes. While she doesn’t do style cuts or shave downs, her specialty is giving dogs a good, thorough wash and helping them feel fresh and comfortable.

Appointments are available seven days a week, and dogs seem to love the one-on-one attention they get from her calm, kind approach. If your four-legged family member could use a good scrub, you can reach Janet directly at 303-257-6320 to book.
