How grooming works on Petme in El Cajon
You decide where each session happens in El Cajon. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown El Cajon, Fletcher Hills and Bostonia, 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 El Cajon.
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 Fletcher Hills to Bostonia or stay near Downtown El Cajon.
Dogs you will meet in El Cajon
Owners in El Cajon often keep French Bulldog, Golden Retriever and Labrador 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.
