Marlowe Row, Portland
One coat comes off. One stays on. Both leave comfortable.
Clover & Clip grooms dogs and cats by appointment, at two dog stations and in a quiet cat room, with four Fear-Free certified groomers. Every pet is hand-dried, nobody is sedated, and the price is agreed before the first brush.

The Coat Check
Three things decide most appointments: what the pet is, what the coat is doing, and how much of it there is. The front desk quotes from this same table.
| Pet | Coat type | Service | Time band | Price band | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dog | Short and smooth | Bath, Brush-Out & Tidy | Midday, 10:30 to 12:00 | $60 to $110 | No haircut needed: a two-shampoo bath, a full brush-out, a face, feet and sanitary tidy, nails and ears. |
| Dog | Double | Double-Coat De-Shed Spa | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $90 to $145 | Never shaved. A conditioning soak and a high-velocity blow-out lift the undercoat and keep the guard coat that protects against heat. |
| Dog | Curly or wool | Full Groom & Haircut | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $85 to $155 | Curly and wool coats felt close to the skin, so the comb goes through at drop-off and the length is agreed before the clippers start. |
| Dog | Long and silky | Full Groom & Haircut | Midday, 10:30 to 12:00 | $85 to $155 | Hand-scissored and fluff-dried. A silky coat keeps its length best on a six-to-eight-week cycle. |
| Dog | Wire | Hand-Strip | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $95 to $160 | Booked after a short consult with Priya, because the coat has to be at the right point in its cycle. |
| Cat | Short and smooth | Quiet-Hour Cat Groom | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $95 to $140 | Dog-free Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the cat room with Odalys, a certified feline groomer. Never sedated. |
| Cat | Double | Quiet-Hour Cat Groom | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $95 to $140 | Dog-free Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the cat room with Odalys, a certified feline groomer. Never sedated. |
| Cat | Curly or wool | Quiet-Hour Cat Groom | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $95 to $140 | Dog-free Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the cat room with Odalys, a certified feline groomer. Never sedated. |
| Cat | Long and silky | Cat Sanitary or Lion Trim | Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30 | $95 to $140 | Once a long coat has started to pelt, a sanitary or lion trim is kinder than combing. Never sedated. |
Over 70 lb moves the appointment to the morning drop-off window. Wire coats are a dog service. Each band narrows to one figure at drop-off, agreed before any work starts.
On the table
Three stages, and the price comes first.
-
Check-in and coat consultation
With the owner still at the desk, the groomer runs a comb to the skin, agrees the length and notes anything sore, then confirms the price.
-
Two washes, a hand-dry, then the work
Two warm shampoos, an unhurried hand-dry, then the haircut, de-shed or hand-strip the coat needs. Nails are Dremel-rounded and ears cleaned every time.
-
Collection at an agreed time
A collection time is given at drop-off, with honest notes on skin, ears and coat. No pet waits in a kennel bank for its turn.
