Why your posts reach Queens Park owners early
A groomer's following grows one owner at a time. In Bedford, the home feed puts your posts in front of people close to Putnoe first.
Your grooms, in photos and video
A clip of a de-shedding session or a photo of a finished trim shows owners in Bedford more than a price list does. Post them as you go.
Nearby owners see it first
The Petme home feed shows posts from people nearby first, so the owners around you, in Queens Park or De Parys for instance, come across your work early.
Followers can message you
Owners who follow you in Bedford see each new groom you post and can message you in the app with questions about their dog.
Grooming in Bedford, from wet winters to spring moults
Bedford has a wet maritime climate, with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter and short winter days. That shapes the work: muddier coats in the wet months, heavier shedding when double-coated dogs moult, and less daylight for home visits from late autumn.
Wet months, muddy coats
Rain falls across the year in Bedford, so legs, bellies and feathering pick up mud between full grooms. A bath and brush priced on its own gives owners around Queens Park a lighter option on your menu.
Spring and autumn moults
Double-coated breeds drop their undercoat most heavily in spring and autumn. That is when a de-shedding extra is worth having on your menu, priced per pet or included in the session.
Coats you will meet
Labrador Retrievers and Border Collies carry double coats that shed, Cocker Spaniels have feathering that needs regular trims, and French Bulldogs and Staffordshire Bull Terriers have short coats where a bath, a brush and nails cover most sessions.
Three sessions, two extras, every price yours
Petme sets no grooming rate in Bedford. 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.

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.
