How grooming works on Petme in Hayward
You decide where each session happens in Hayward. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown Hayward, Mount Eden and Hayward Highland, 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 Hayward.
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 Hayward to Mount Eden or stay near Downtown Hayward.
Dogs you will meet in Hayward
Owners in Hayward often keep French Bulldog, Labrador 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.
