How grooming works on Petme in Alexandria
You decide where each session happens in Alexandria. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Old Town, Del Ray and Rosemont, 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 Alexandria.
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 Old Town to Del Ray or stay near Old Town.
Dogs you will meet in Alexandria
Owners in Alexandria often keep Labrador Retriever, French Bulldog 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.
Choose your sessions, set every price
