Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Pasadena

You decide where each session happens in Pasadena. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Old Pasadena, Bungalow Heaven and Madison Heights, 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 Pasadena.

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 Old Pasadena to Hastings Ranch or stay near Old Pasadena.

Dogs you will meet in Pasadena

Owners in Pasadena often keep Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever and French Bulldog. 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.
