How grooming works on Petme in Santa Clara
You decide where each session happens in Santa Clara. Groom at your own place, travel to owners' homes around Old Quad, Downtown Santa Clara and Rivermark, 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 Santa Clara.
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 Westwood Oaks to Lick Mill or stay near Old Quad.
Dogs you will meet in Santa Clara
Owners in Santa Clara often keep Labrador Retriever, French Bulldog 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.
