DapperTails was founded in 2017 with a bold mission — to elevate mobile pet grooming into a premium, professional, and scalable experience. What began with a single van has exploded into a powerhouse brand with 20 company-owned outlets operating across five states, making us the largest operator-led mobile grooming company in the country. We didn’t just build a franchise — we proved the model works ourselves, city by city, van by van, before offering it to others.

What truly sets DapperTails apart is our ownership-backed expertise and our world-class mobile grooming vans. While most brands rely entirely on franchisees, we operate and own our own fleet — giving us firsthand insight into what works. Our vans are custom-built by a conversion company with over 50 years in the industry, delivering state-of-the-art, eco-friendly, green-powered units designed for efficiency, safety, and comfort. These aren’t just grooming vans — they’re mobile luxury spas engineered to perform.

Franchisees and groomers alike gain access to our Master Grooming Training Program — a weeklong, hands-on intensive at our New York headquarters. This is where the DapperTails magic happens. Groomers learn our signature techniques, van operations, client engagement strategies, and how to uphold our five-star brand reputation. Owners learn leadership, business management, and the DapperTails systems that drive serious results. We don’t just hand you a van and wish you luck — we launch you with precision and purpose.

We’re also proud to be recognized as leaders and coaches within the grooming world. Over the last eight years, we’ve built one of the largest and most respected private grooming networks in the country, now 4000+ members strong. This community gives our franchisees a direct pipeline to talent, insider industry trends, and a level of support and credibility that no one else in the franchise space can offer. When you partner with DapperTails, you join a movement that’s already thriving.

This is a business built for dreamers who take action. If you’re a pet lover, entrepreneur, or career-shifter looking to build something real, scalable, and backed by people who’ve done it themselves — DapperTails is your opportunity. Our systems are proven. Our support is unmatched. Our vans are best-in-class. And our momentum is undeniable. Your market is waiting. Let’s go.
