Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Grand Rapids

You decide where each session happens in Grand Rapids. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Heritage Hill, Eastown and East Hills, 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 Grand Rapids.

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 Heritage Hill to Alger Heights or stay near Heritage Hill.

Dogs you will meet in Grand Rapids

Owners in Grand Rapids often keep Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever and German Shepherd. 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.
