Build a following of Louisville dog owners

Think of your Petme profile as the grooming account owners in Louisville actually find. You post photos and videos, the home feed shows them to people nearby first, and owners who like your work can follow and message you.

Photos and videos of your work

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

Local owners see you early

Because Petme shows nearby posts first, the owners closest to your Louisville base are the first to see your work.

One tap to your profile

From any post, an owner near NuLu reaches your profile and can send you a message in the app.

Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Louisville

You decide where each session happens in Louisville. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around NuLu, Highlands and Crescent Hill, 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 Louisville.

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 NuLu to the Highlands or stay near NuLu.

Dogs you will meet in Louisville

Owners in Louisville often keep Labrador, Goldendoodle 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.

Why groom on Petme

Built for professional groomers in Louisville

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.

Are dog grooming jobs hiring near me in Louisville?

How do I get dog grooming clients in Louisville?

How do I become a dog groomer on Petme in Louisville?

Then send the grooming application with your experience, one proof, 3 to 6 before-and-after pairs and 3 declarations. If it is not approved, you can apply again after 15 days and groom in Louisville once accepted.
What does a Petme groomer do in Louisville?
Every session comes from your own menu: a full groom, a bath and brush or nails only, plus any extras you offer. Each request includes the pet's size, coat condition, vaccination status and the owner's notes, and the address is shared in chat, whether the session is at your place or at a home near Crescent Hill.
Do I need experience to get a dog grooming job in Louisville?
Yes. Grooming on Petme needs at least 6 months of paid, professional grooming, backed by a certificate, an employer reference or a link to your work. While you build that experience in Louisville, you can offer other pet care as a Petme sitter and apply for grooming later.
How much do dog groomers make on Petme in Louisville?
It depends on the prices you set, because Petme has no fixed grooming rate in Louisville. Each session on your menu (full groom, bath and brush, nails only) has its own price per dog size, plus a price for cats if you groom them, and extras like de-shedding are priced per pet.
Can I work as a mobile dog groomer in Louisville?
Yes. You choose where you groom: at your own place, at the owner's home, or both. For home visits you pick a radius of 3, 5, 10 or 20 km, so you can stay close to NuLu or cover a wider part of Louisville.
Can I do dog grooming part time in Louisville?
Yes. You open the start times you want in the app, a request can only use those times, and each request shows the service and how long it runs. That lets you groom around a salon job, studies or other Petme sitting in Louisville.
