Groom in Sydney and let the owners around Surry Hills see every finished coat
Petme is a pet-care app with a social feed. Post photos and videos of your grooms and the home feed shows posts from people nearby first, so owners in Newtown or Paddington see your work early, follow you and open your profile.
Grooming has its own review on Petme: groomers in Sydney apply from the app once their sitter profile is approved.
How Sydney owners come across your grooming
An owner in Marrickville opens Petme and the home feed starts with posts from people near them. When those posts are your grooms, they can like them, follow you and message you from your profile.
Your grooms, in photos and video
A clip of a de-shedding session or a photo of a finished trim shows owners in Sydney more than a price list does. Post them as you go.
Local before distant
Owners in Sydney scroll a home feed that puts posts from people around them first, and that includes the grooms you post.
Your profile, one tap away
From any of your posts, an owner near Bondi reaches your profile and can send you a message.
At your place or theirs, across Sydney
Each session in Sydney happens where you say: at your own place, at the owner's home within the radius you set, or both, with the owner choosing on each request. A short radius keeps you close to home; a longer one covers more of Sydney.
At your place
Owners in Sydney bring their pet to you. Your address is not shown on the request; you share it with the owner in the app chat.
At the owner's home
You travel with your kit inside a radius of 3, 5, 10 or 20 km from home, so a groomer based near Surry Hills chooses how much of Sydney to cover.
Both
Offer both and your profile shows both options. Prices stay per session and dog size either way, and a custom offer adjusts one before payment.
Three sessions, two extras, every price yours
Petme sets no grooming rate in Sydney. Switch on the sessions you offer, price each one per dog size, add a price for cats if you groom them, and choose whether the extras cost anything.
Full groom
Your price per session, for each dog size and for cats
Bath and brush
A lighter session, with its own price per dog size
Nails only
A short nail session at a price you choose
De-shedding (extra)

Teeth brushing (extra)

Sydney neighbourhoods you can cover
You can stay in your own corner of Sydney or cover more of it. A 3 or 5 km radius keeps you close to Surry Hills; 10 or 20 km widens the area you travel to.
What Sydney groomers get on Petme
Prices you set
Each session carries your own price per dog size. If a coat needs more work than the request suggested, you send a custom offer before the owner pays.
Hours you open
No shifts and no rota. Requests can only use the start times you open in the app, so grooming fits around a salon job, studies or other sitting work.
A reviewed standard
Every Petme groomer is an approved sitter who also passed the grooming review: paid experience, proof and before-and-after work.
How to start grooming on Petme in Sydney
1. Become a Petme sitter
Download the Petme app, build your sitter profile with the Sydney areas you cover and pass ID verification. You need to be 18 or over.
2. Open the grooming application
Start it from the grooming tile in your dashboard. Add your paid grooming experience, where you worked and at least one proof: a certificate or diploma, an employer reference, or a website or social link.
3. Show your work
Upload 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs of pets you groomed: the same pet, a similar angle and no filters. Confirm the 3 declarations and send it.
4. Set up and post
Once approved, choose where you groom, your home-visit radius, the pets you accept, your menu prices and your start times, then start posting your grooms.
