Groom dogs across Birkenhead, from Oxton to Claughton
Grooming on Petme in Birkenhead starts with being an approved sitter, then a separate grooming application with proof of paid work and 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs. After that, the menu and the prices are yours.
First you become an approved Petme sitter in Birkenhead, then you send the grooming application from the app.
Why nearby comes first for Birkenhead groomers
Short videos work as well as photos. Post a quick clip from a groom in Birkenhead and nearby owners can watch it, follow you and message you about your menu.
Your grooms, in photos and video
A clip of a de-shedding session or a photo of a finished trim shows owners in Birkenhead 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 Oxton or Claughton for instance, come across your work early.
Followers can message you
Owners who follow you in Birkenhead see each new groom you post and can message you in the app with questions about their dog.
Your grooming patch in Birkenhead
Each session in Birkenhead 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 Birkenhead.
At your place
Owners in Birkenhead 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 Claughton chooses how much of Birkenhead 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 Birkenhead. 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.

Bath and brush
A lighter session, with its own price per dog size
Nails only
A short nail session at a price you choose

What Birkenhead 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.
