Getting dog grooming clients in Galway, one before-and-after at a time
From Salthill to Knocknacarra, Galway owners see Petme posts from people near them first. Share your grooms there and the ones who like your style can follow you, open your profile and ask about their own dog.
In Galway, grooming on Petme starts with an approved sitter profile and continues with a separate grooming application in the app.
Your Galway portfolio, posted where locals scroll
The grooming application already asks for 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs. Once you are approved, post them and the owners around Renmore and Mervue come across them early in their home feed.
Your grooms, in photos and video
A clip of a de-shedding session or a photo of a finished trim shows owners in Galway more than a price list does. Post them as you go.
A feed that starts close to home
Petme opens on posts from people near the viewer. A groom you share from Renmore reaches your part of Galway before it reaches anyone farther out.
Followers can message you
Owners who follow you in Galway see each new groom you post and can message you in the app with questions about their dog.
Your grooming patch in Galway
Each session in Galway 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 Galway.
At your place
Owners in Galway 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 Knocknacarra chooses how much of Galway 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 Galway. 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)

Made for professional groomers in Galway
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.
