For pet groomers

Get more grooming clients from the owners who already trust you

An owner hands over a nervous dog because they trust you with it. Keep that trust on a profile with your name on it.

The reviews you earn go to the grooming shop

You handle the anxious rescue nobody else can finish, the owner posts a glowing review, and it lands on the shop's page beside the retail shelf and the phone that nobody answers on Mondays.

Move to a new shop, buy a van, or go mobile, and years of nervous-dog reputation stay behind at the old address. Owners searching your name find nothing.

The gap: a business rating answers “is this place any good?”. It never answers “is this pet groomer any good?” — which is the only question your next client is actually asking.

What changes when the reputation is yours

  • Verified reviews tied to your name, not the shop's listing
  • Breed and coat specialities listed the way owners search
  • Before-and-after photos you own
  • Regulars who can find and rebook you if you move or go mobile

How it works

  1. Claim your @handle

    One free profile in your name, marked as a pet groomer, with your services and area.

  2. Ask after each appointment

    Share one link or QR code while the client is still happy. It takes them under a minute.

  3. Share the proof

    Send your profile to referrals, print the QR, and let verified reviews do the convincing.

What a strong pet groomer profile shows

  • Breeds, coat types and services (de-shedding, hand stripping, nervous dogs)
  • Before-and-after photos of your own grooms
  • Verified reviews from owners whose pets you groomed
  • How to book you today, shop or mobile

What clients say when the review has your name on it

Example reviews showing how clients talk about a pet groomer once the feedback lives on the pet groomer's profile instead of the grooming shop's page.

  • “Our dog is nervous with everyone else. Reading other owners' reviews of this pet groomer was what made me book.”

    Leila M.

    First booking

  • “I found the pet groomer through a neighbour and sent the profile link straight into our local group chat.”

    Priya S.

    Referred by a neighbour

  • “The reviews are for the pet groomer, not the grooming shop — which is who I'm actually handing my pet to.”

Does this compete with Google reviews?

No, and it should not. Google reviews belong to the business and help it get found — keep asking for them. Kleos records the part Google cannot: which pet groomer did the work. The same client can review the grooming shop on Google and review you on Kleos in the same minute.

If you want the Google side sharper too, our how to ask for a google review: 18 scripts covers the ask, the timing and the follow-up rules.
