Dog grooming jobs in Toronto

Groom in Toronto and put every before-and-after in your neighborhood's feed

On Petme you post photos and videos of your grooms, the way you would on any social app, but the home feed shows posts from people nearby first. Work from Liberty Village or King West and the owners around you are the first to see your grooms, follow you and open your profile.

First you become an approved Petme sitter in Toronto, then you send the grooming application from the app.

How Toronto owners come across your grooming

A dog owner in Riverdale opens Petme and the home feed starts with posts from people near them. When those posts include your grooms, they can like them, follow you, open your profile and message you from there.

Post the before and after

Share photos and short videos of the pets you groom in Toronto: 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 Liberty Village or Leslieville for instance, come across your work early.

From a post to your profile

An owner who likes a post can follow you, open your profile and see the grooming menu you offer in Toronto.

Where you groom

At your place or theirs, across Toronto

Each session in Toronto 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 Toronto.

At your place

Owners in Toronto 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 Leslieville chooses how much of Toronto 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.

Your grooming menu

Three sessions, two extras, every price yours

Petme sets no grooming rate in Toronto. 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.

A lighter session, with its own price per dog size

Nails only

Why groom on Petme

What Toronto 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 Toronto

  1. 1. Become a Petme sitter

    Download the Petme app, build your sitter profile with the Toronto 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 Toronto

What sitters in Toronto ask before applying to groom on Petme.

Are dog grooming jobs hiring near me in Toronto?
Petme takes grooming applications in Toronto 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 Liberty Village to Leslieville.
How do I get more dog grooming clients in Toronto?
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 The Annex and Yorkville can see your grooms, follow you, open your profile and message you.
How much do dog groomers make in Toronto 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.
How much experience do dog grooming jobs in Toronto ask for?
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 Toronto, you can still offer other pet care as an approved Petme sitter and apply for grooming later.
How do I get dog grooming experience that counts on Petme?
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 Toronto 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 Toronto?
No. Petme groomers in Toronto 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.
What are the steps to groom on Petme in Toronto?
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 Toronto once accepted.
