Montreal owners see posts from their own area first

Petme combines pet care with a social feed. Share a groom from the Plateau-Mont-Royal or Rosemont and the people nearby see it before people across the island, then follow you to catch the next one.

Post the before and after

Share photos and short videos of the pets you groom in Montreal: the same pet before and after, as in your application. Owners can like and comment on each post.

Nearby owners see it first

The Petme home feed shows posts from people nearby first, so the owners around you, in Plateau-Mont-Royal or Mile End for instance, come across your work early.

Followers can message you

Owners who follow you in Montreal see each new groom you post and can message you in the app with questions about their dog.

Where you groom

Your grooming patch in Montreal

Each session in Montreal 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 Montreal.

At your place

Owners in Montreal 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 Mile End chooses how much of Montreal 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.

Why groom on Petme

What Montreal 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

How to start grooming on Petme in Montreal

  1. 1. Become a Petme sitter

    Download the Petme app, build your sitter profile with the Montreal areas you cover and pass ID verification. You need to be 18 or over.

  2. 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. 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. 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.

Common questions

Dog grooming jobs in Montreal

Questions groomers in Montreal ask before they apply.

Are there pet grooming jobs in Montreal?
Petme takes grooming applications in Montreal from approved Petme sitters with at least 6 months of paid, professional grooming. Instead of a vacancy list, you set your own menu, your prices and the neighborhoods you cover, from Plateau-Mont-Royal to Mile End.
Do I need experience to get a dog grooming job in Montreal?
At least 6 months of paid, professional grooming, plus a proof of it, before you can send the grooming application. While you build that experience in Montreal, you can still offer other pet care as an approved Petme sitter and apply for grooming later.
What dog grooming experience does Petme accept in Montreal?
Paid work counts wherever you did it: in a salon, on your own or as a mobile groomer. Petme does not run grooming training, so Montreal applicants back those months with a certificate or diploma, an employer reference, or a link to their website or social account.
Does Petme have dog grooming assistant jobs in Montreal?
No. Petme groomers in Montreal work for themselves: each one is an approved sitter who passed the grooming review with 6+ months of paid grooming. Assistant and trainee roles come from salons, and the paid months you spend in one count toward a later application.
How do I apply for dog groomer jobs on Petme in Montreal?
Become a Petme sitter first: be 18 or over, use the Petme app and pass ID verification. Then send the grooming application with your experience, one proof, 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs and 3 declarations. If it is not approved, you can apply again after 15 days and groom in Montreal once accepted.
How do I get dog grooming clients in Montreal?
Show your work where local owners already look. On Petme you post before-and-after photos and videos, and the home feed shows posts from people nearby first, so owners around Outremont and Westmount can see your grooms, follow you, open your profile and message you.
How much do dog groomers make in Montreal on Petme?
It depends on the prices you set. Grooming salons in Canada typically charge $95 to $170 for a full groom of a medium dog, and you price your own menu with that in mind. Petme sets no grooming rate: each session (full groom, bath and brush, nails only) has its own price per dog size, and cats get their own price.
