How grooming works on Petme in Ann Arbor
You decide where each session happens in Ann Arbor. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown Ann Arbor, Old West Side and Kerrytown, 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 Ann Arbor.
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 Kerrytown to Burns Park or stay near Downtown Ann Arbor.
Dogs you will meet in Ann Arbor
Owners in Ann Arbor often keep Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever and Goldendoodle. 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
