Turn your Durham grooming photos into new followers
Your best grooms belong on your Petme profile: post them as photos or videos, and owners scrolling the feed around Forest Hills in Durham can follow you and get in touch.
Grooming on Petme in Durham starts with an approved sitter profile, then a separate grooming application in the app.
Let Durham owners follow your grooming
Post what you groom: a matted coat brushed out, a bath and trim, a tidy set of nails. Petme shows those posts to people nearby first, so owners in Durham can follow you and find your profile.
Share the before and after
Post the same pet before and after its groom, the way you did in your application, so owners around Trinity Park see the difference.
Reach the people around you
Your posts go first to people near you, which in Durham means owners around Hope Valley and the blocks next to yours.
Owners can follow and message you
Owners who see your grooms in Durham can follow you for the next one and message you with questions from your profile.
How grooming works on Petme in Durham
You decide where each session happens in Durham. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Trinity Park, Forest Hills and Hope Valley, 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 Durham.
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 Trinity Park to Hope Valley or stay near Trinity Park.
Dogs you will meet in Durham
Owners in Durham often keep Labrador Retriever, Goldendoodle 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
Petme sets no grooming rate in Durham. 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.
