Where you groom

How grooming works on Petme in Salt Lake City

You decide where each session happens in Salt Lake City. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Sugar House, Capitol Hill and The Avenues, 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 Salt Lake City.

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 Capitol Hill to Sugar House or stay near Sugar House.

Dogs you will meet in Salt Lake City

Owners in Salt Lake City 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.
