US Pet Groomer Scraper

Scrape pet grooming business data for any US state — names, addresses, phones, hours, and service offerings. Perfect for lead generation, market research, and competitive intelligence in the $10B+ US pet grooming industry.

How it works

1. Discovery phase — Searches DuckDuckGo for pet groomers in each city (3 queries: "pet groomer", "dog grooming", "pet grooming salon")
2. Crawl phase — Visits each groomer's website with Playwright (headless Chromium)
3. Extraction — Parses name, address, phone, hours, services using BeautifulSoup + regex
4. Output — Clean JSON dataset, exportable as CSV/Excel

No API keys. No login. Just pick a state and run.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
state	select	Missouri	US state to scrape
maxCities	integer	0 (all)	Limit cities for testing
cityOffset	integer	0	Skip N cities before starting — paginate large states across multiple runs
maxGroomersPerCity	integer	5	Max websites crawled per city

Runtime estimates

State size	Cities	Est. time
Small (WY, VT)	~20-40	5-10 min
Medium (MO, KS)	~70-150	20-40 min
Large (TX, CA)	~450-600	1.5-2 hrs

Default timeout is 6 hours — enough for any state. For full USA coverage (~10,000 cities), run 50 states as separate tasks.

Use cases

• Lead generation — Build prospect lists for pet product suppliers, mobile groomer apps, pet insurance companies
• Market research — Analyze service gaps by geography (where are mobile groomers underserved?)
• Competitive intelligence — Map competitors in your area, see what services they offer
• Franchise scouting — Find cities with few groomers but large pet-owning populations

Pricing

$5 per 1,000 groomers scraped (Pay per event). Platform usage (compute + proxy) is paid by the user.

Cost example
Small state (~40 cities)	~$1.00
Medium state (~200 cities)	~$5.00
Large state (~600 cities)	~$15.00
Full USA (~10,000 cities)	~$250.00

Why no competition?

There are zero dedicated US pet groomer scrapers on the Apify Store. The vet scraper market is also underserved (only 2 actors), and pet grooming is an even larger, more fragmented market with no data provider. You're first to market.

Limitations

• Address extraction is best-effort — many groomer sites use images or embedded maps
• DuckDuckGo rate limits require ~1 second between cities
• Small towns (<2,000 pop) may genuinely have zero pet groomers
• Mobile-only groomers without websites won't appear in results
