How grooming works on Petme in Pittsburgh
You decide where each session happens in Pittsburgh. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Squirrel Hill, Shadyside and Lawrenceville, 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 Pittsburgh.
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 Squirrel Hill to the Strip District or stay near Squirrel Hill.
Dogs you will meet in Pittsburgh
Owners in Pittsburgh often keep Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd 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.
Choose your sessions, set every price
