Grooming posts

Grooming photos that reach Charleston owners first

Advertising a grooming business in Charleston can start with one post. On Petme, people nearby see local posts first, and an owner who likes your work can open your profile and message you.

Share the before and after

Post the same pet before and after its groom, the way you did in your application, so owners around South of Broad see the difference.

Reach the people around you

Your posts go first to people near you, which in Charleston means owners around Wagener Terrace and the blocks next to yours.

Your profile does the rest

Your Petme profile lists the services you offer, so an owner in Charleston who found you through a post sees what you do.

Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Charleston

You decide where each session happens in Charleston. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around South of Broad, Harleston Village and Wagener Terrace, 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 Charleston.

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 South of Broad to Mount Pleasant or stay near South of Broad.

Dogs you will meet in Charleston

Owners in Charleston often keep Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever and French Bulldog. 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.
