Cork owners in Douglas and Blackrock can follow the dogs you groom
Grooming on Petme is open to approved sitters with 6+ months of paid grooming. In Cork you choose the sessions, the prices and the radius, and each before-and-after you post shows up early for owners near Ballincollig or Bishopstown.
In Cork, grooming on Petme starts with an approved sitter profile and continues with a separate grooming application in the app.
From a post in Glanmire to a message in your inbox
Owners in Cork who like a groom in their feed can tap through to your profile, see your grooming menu and message you. The feed shows people nearby first, so Mayfield owners see a Mayfield groom early.
Every session can be a post
When a groom in Cork is done, post it with a short caption about the coat or the cut, so owners know what you do well.
Local before distant
Owners in Cork scroll a home feed that puts posts from people around them first, and that includes the grooms you post.
Followers can message you
Owners who follow you in Cork see each new groom you post and can message you in the app with questions about their dog.
Where you groom in Cork
Each session in Cork 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 Cork.
At your place
Owners in Cork 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 Blackrock chooses how much of Cork 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.

What Cork 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.
