Grooming photos that reach Baltimore owners first

Before-and-after pairs are what got you approved, and they are what helps owners in Baltimore find you. Post them on Petme: the home feed shows nearby posts first, and followers can message you.

Show the finished groom

Every session you finish in Baltimore 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 Fells Point to Roland Park scroll a home feed that puts posts from people near them first.

From post to conversation

A post gets an owner's attention, your profile shows them who you are, and the app chat lets them ask you about their pet in Baltimore.

Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Baltimore

You decide where each session happens in Baltimore. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Fells Point, Federal Hill and Mount Vernon, 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 Baltimore.

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 Fells Point to Roland Park or stay near Fells Point.

Dogs you will meet in Baltimore

Owners in Baltimore often keep Labrador, 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.

Do I need experience to get a dog grooming job in Baltimore?
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 Baltimore, you can offer other pet care as a Petme sitter and apply for grooming later.

It depends on the prices you set. Grooming salons in the US typically charge $125 to $175 for a full groom of a medium dog, and you price your own menu with that in mind.

How do I become a dog groomer on Petme in Baltimore?
Become a Petme sitter first: be 18 or over, have the Petme app and pass ID verification.
