How we rank these groomers
Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume ranks how many customers actually left a rating against the wider pool of pet groomers we pulled for Sydney. Confidence weighs rating against volume, so a perfect score from a small handful of reviews scores lower than a strong average across hundreds. No business on this list paid to move its position or change these numbers.
What does cat grooming cost in Sydney? (2026)
None of these businesses published a dollar figure specifically for cat grooming that we could verify, dog grooming prices mentioned in a couple of reviews aren’t a reliable stand-in for cat pricing given the different handling involved. Cost typically depends on coat length and matting, how anxious or difficult the cat is to handle, and whether the groomer comes to you or you visit a salon, get a direct quote before booking.

- What’s included, bath, deshedding, nail trim, mat removal?
- Will you flag anything concerning, like skin issues or lumps, that you notice during grooming?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data: rating, review volume and recency. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.
Why do most of these reviews talk about dogs instead of cats?
We rank the highest-rated, most-reviewed pet groomers for this search in Sydney. Most are general groomers who serve both cats and dogs, and their existing reviews happen to skew toward dog clients, we say so directly rather than imply otherwise.
How did you choose these five businesses?
We pulled the highest-volume, highest-rated pet groomers for this search in Sydney from public Google data, then weighted rating against review count.
How often is this updated?
Ratings and review counts were last verified in July 2026. We recheck listings periodically as new reviews come in.
Which of these is the best match for a nervous or first-time cat?
crooming is built specifically around fear-free, sedation-free cat grooming at your own home, which several reviewers credit with calming cats who’d struggled at a salon before.
The bottom line
If your cat gets anxious around new places or other animals, crooming’s mobile, cat-only, sedation-free approach is the clearest match on this list. If you’re comfortable with a general salon and want the most reviewed option, Pets On The Point has the largest track record here.
