Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Fort Myers

You decide where each session happens in Fort Myers. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown River District, Dean Park and Edison Park, 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 Fort Myers.

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 Downtown River District to Whiskey Creek or stay near Downtown River District.

Dogs you will meet in Fort Myers

Owners in Fort Myers 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.
