Groom in Auckland and put each finished dog in front of the owners down your road
Petme is a pet-care app with a home feed that shows posts from people nearby first. Work from Mount Eden or Grey Lynn and the owners around you are the first to see your before-and-afters, follow you and open your profile.
In Auckland, grooming on Petme starts with an approved sitter profile and continues with a separate grooming application in the app.
How Auckland owners come across your grooming
An owner in Remuera opens Petme and the feed starts with posts from people near them. When one of them is your groom, they can like it, follow you and message you from your profile.
Every session can be a post
When a groom in Auckland 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 Auckland scroll a home feed that puts posts from people around them first, and that includes the grooms you post.
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 Auckland.
Your grooming patch in Auckland
Each session in Auckland 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 Auckland.
At your place
Owners in Auckland 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 Mission Bay chooses how much of Auckland 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 Auckland. 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

Made for professional groomers in Auckland
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 Auckland
1. Become a Petme sitter
Download the Petme app, build your sitter profile with the Auckland 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.

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.
