From finished groom to new follower in New Haven

Show the finished groom

How grooming works on Petme in New Haven
You decide where each session happens in New Haven. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Downtown, East Rock and Westville, 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 New Haven.
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 Westville or stay near Downtown.
Dogs you will meet in New Haven
Owners in New Haven often keep Labrador Retriever, Goldendoodle 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

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.
