Show Athens pet owners what your grooming looks like
People near you see your posts first on Petme. In Athens, that turns your before-and-afters into a way for owners in Five Points to find and follow your grooming.
Grooming on Petme in Athens starts with an approved sitter profile, then a separate grooming application in the app.
A profile Athens owners can follow and message
Your work speaks louder than a bio. Post before-and-afters from homes around Downtown Athens and Boulevard, and owners in Athens who see them in their home feed can follow you and get in touch.
Show the finished groom
Every session you finish in Athens can become a post. Add a short caption about the coat or the cut so owners know what they are looking at.
Nearby posts come first
Owners from Five Points to Eastside scroll a home feed that puts posts from people near them first.
Owners can follow and message you
Owners who see your grooms in Athens can follow you for the next one and message you with questions from your profile.
How grooming works on Petme in Athens
You decide where each session happens in Athens. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown Athens, Five Points and Boulevard, 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 Athens.
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 Five Points to Eastside or stay near Downtown Athens.
Dogs you will meet in Athens
Owners in Athens often keep Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever and German Shepherd. 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
Petme sets no grooming rate in Athens. You switch on the sessions you offer, price each one per dog size, add a price for cats if you groom them, and choose your extras.
