Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Detroit

You decide where each session happens in Detroit. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Midtown, Corktown and Downtown, 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 Detroit.

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 Corktown to Royal Oak or stay near Midtown.

Dogs you will meet in Detroit

Owners in Detroit 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.

Why groom on Petme

Built for professional groomers in Detroit

You set every price

Each session carries your own price per dog size. If a pet needs more work than the request suggested, you send a custom offer before the owner pays.

Your hours, your days

There are no shifts. Owners pick from the start times you open, so grooming fits around a salon job, studies or your other Petme bookings.

A reviewed bar

Every Petme groomer is an approved sitter who also passed a grooming review: paid experience, proof and before-and-after work.
