Show Dayton pet owners what your grooming looks like
Post your before-and-afters on Petme and people near Oregon District see them first in their home feed. Grooming in Dayton is open to approved sitters with 6+ months of paid grooming.
Grooming on Petme in Dayton starts with an approved sitter profile, then a separate grooming application in the app.
Your grooming, on the Dayton home feed
Your application already asks for 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs. Keep posting them once you are approved: on Petme, people near Oregon District see nearby posts first, and they can follow you from there.
Share the before and after
Post the same pet before and after its groom, the way you did in your application, so owners around Oregon District see the difference.
Seen by owners nearby
The Petme home feed shows posts from people nearby first, so owners in Oregon District and South Park see your grooms early.
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 Dayton.
How grooming works on Petme in Dayton
You decide where each session happens in Dayton. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Oregon District, South Park and St. Anne's Hill, 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 Dayton.
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 Oregon District to Centerville or stay near Oregon District.
Dogs you will meet in Dayton
Owners in Dayton often keep Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd 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
