Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Lafayette

You decide where each session happens in Lafayette. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown Lafayette, Youngsville and Broussard, 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 Lafayette.

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 Lafayette to Youngsville or stay near Downtown Lafayette.

Dogs you will meet in Lafayette

Owners in Lafayette often keep Labrador Retriever, Catahoula Leopard Dog 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.
