What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Groomer position at Ark Animal Hospital?
Ark Animal Hospital is a privately owned, full-service veterinary facility in Bucks County, featuring a state-of-the-art surgical center, outpatient hospital, and grooming salon. At Ark Animal Hospital, we take pride in providing individualized, high standards of care for our clients and their pets.
We’re seeking a skilled and motivated Groomer to join our Ark Grooming Salon team. This W2 position requires a minimum of one year of professional grooming experience, with the drive to perform 4–8 quality finished grooms per day. We help you focus on what you do best - grooming - by providing dedicated staff to handle the majority of bathing, drying, de-shedding, fluffing, and cleaning. You’ll also benefit from not having to manage scheduling, phone calls, or most check-ins and check-outs.

Our dedicated team is committed to your ongoing training and professional growth, ensuring you have the tools and support necessary to refine your skills and excel in the salon. If you’re ready to provide compassionate, high-quality grooms while upholding our standards of safety, care, and teamwork, we’d love to hear from you.
