Let Southport owners follow your grooming before they message you
Approved groomers in Southport get a profile that lists their sessions, prices and area. Owners from Birkdale to Ainsdale reach it through the posts they see in their home feed.
First you become an approved Petme sitter in Southport, then you send the grooming application from the app.
What happens when you post a groom in Southport
Likes and comments come first, then follows, then messages. Each groom you share in Southport gives nearby owners another reason to open your profile.
Post the before and after
Share photos and short videos of the pets you groom in Southport: the same pet before and after, as in your application. Owners can like and comment on each post.
Local before distant
Owners in Southport 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 Southport.
At your place or theirs, across Southport
Each session in Southport 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 Southport.
At your place
Owners in Southport 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 Ainsdale chooses how much of Southport 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 Southport. 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.

What Southport 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.
