Photos and videos of your work
A clip of a bath and brush or a photo of a finished trim from Hartford tells an owner more about your grooming than a description.

How grooming works on Petme in Hartford
You decide where each session happens in Hartford. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around West End, Asylum Hill and Frog Hollow, 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 Hartford.
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 West End to Frog Hollow or stay near West End.
Dogs you will meet in Hartford
Owners in Hartford often keep Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd 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 Hartford. 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.

Built for professional groomers in Hartford
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.
