How grooming works on Petme in Lakewood
You decide where each session happens in Lakewood. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Belmar, Green Mountain and Applewood, 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 Lakewood.
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 Belmar to Green Mountain or stay near Belmar.
Dogs you will meet in Lakewood
Owners in Lakewood 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.
Choose your sessions, set every price
