Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Akron

You decide where each session happens in Akron. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Highland Square, Merriman Valley and Firestone Park, or offer both and let the owner pick on each request.

At your place

Owners bring the pet to you. The address is not part of the request: it is shared in chat, the same way it works for drop-in visits in Akron.

At the owner's home

Travel to the pet with your kit. You set a home-visit radius of 3, 5, 10 or 20 km, whether you work the stretch from Highland Square to Firestone Park or stay near Highland Square.

Dogs you will meet in Akron

Owners in Akron often keep Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd and Golden Retriever. Price your full groom for each dog size, and send a custom offer before payment when a coat needs more work than the request suggested.

Do I need experience to get a dog grooming job in Akron?
Yes. Grooming on Petme needs at least 6 months of paid, professional grooming, backed by a certificate, an employer reference or a link to your work. While you build that experience in Akron, you can offer other pet care as a Petme sitter and apply for grooming later.

Become a Petme sitter first: be 18 or over, have the Petme app and pass ID verification. Then send the grooming application with your experience, one proof, 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs and 3 declarations. If it is not approved, you can apply again after 15 days and groom in Akron once accepted.
