Your Tauranga grooming menu and prices, posted for owners from Mount Maunganui to Papamoa
Price a full groom, a bath and brush and a nails-only session for each dog size, plus cats if you take them. Then post the results: owners near Bethlehem or Greerton see nearby posts first, follow you and send a message.
In Tauranga, grooming on Petme starts with an approved sitter profile and continues with a separate grooming application in the app.
Why posting your Tauranga grooms brings owners to your profile
Tauranga owners scroll a Petme home feed that opens on posts from people close to them. A coat brushed out in Otumoetai or a nail trim in Welcome Bay gives them a reason to follow you.
Post the before and after
Share photos and short videos of the pets you groom in Tauranga: the same pet before and after, as in your application. Owners can like and comment on each post.
A feed that starts close to home
Petme opens on posts from people near the viewer. A groom you share from Papamoa reaches your part of Tauranga before it reaches anyone farther out.
Your profile, one tap away
From any of your posts, an owner near Bethlehem reaches your profile and can send you a message.
Your grooming patch in Tauranga
Each session in Tauranga 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 Tauranga.
At your place
Owners in Tauranga 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 Mount Maunganui chooses how much of Tauranga 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 Tauranga. 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.

Your price per session, for each dog size and for cats
Bath and brush

Nails only
A short nail session at a price you choose

What Tauranga 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.
