How grooming works on Petme in Jersey City
You decide where each session happens in Jersey City. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown, The Heights and Journal Square, 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 Jersey City.
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 to Journal Square or stay near Downtown.
Dogs you will meet in Jersey City
Owners in Jersey City often keep French Bulldog, Labrador Retriever and Goldendoodle. 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
