Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Renton

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 Renton to Fairwood or stay near Downtown Renton.

Dogs you will meet in Renton

Owners in Renton 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.
