Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Rochester

You decide where each session happens in Rochester. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Park Avenue, South Wedge and Corn 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 Rochester.

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 Park Avenue to the 19th Ward or stay near Park Avenue.

Dogs you will meet in Rochester

Owners in Rochester 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.

How do I promote my dog grooming business in Rochester?
Start with the before-and-after pairs you already have. Post them on Petme, keep adding new grooms, and owners near Corn Hill see them early because the home feed shows nearby posts first. Followers can message you from your profile.
How do I become a dog groomer on Petme in Rochester?
