About Bark and Purr Pet Grooming and Boarding

At Bark and Purr, we're more than just a pet grooming and boarding facility – we're a Zen Den where pets and their PAWrents experience a holistic approach to pet wellness. Located at 803 W. Main in Allen, Texas, our shop is committed to creating stress-free experiences that have tails wagging upon arrival and departure!

Position Overview

We're seeking a skilled, compassionate Pet Groomer who shares our dedication to holistic pet care and stress-free grooming experiences. You'll work alongside our Nationally Certified Master Groomer to provide exceptional grooming services while embracing our Zen Pet philosophy. This role is perfect for a groomer who views their craft as more than just aesthetics, but as an essential component of a pet's overall wellness and happiness.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide professional grooming services including bathing, brushing, trimming, styling, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and more
  • Assess each pet's coat, skin, and overall health as part of our three-point evaluation system
  • Create individualized grooming protocols based on breed standards, pet temperament, and PAWrent preferences
  • Employ gentle, stress-reducing techniques while handling pets
  • Maintain awareness of the sensory environment (lighting, sound, aromatherapy) during grooming sessions
  • Communicate effectively with PAWrents about their pet's grooming needs and home care recommendations
  • Keep detailed records of each pet's grooming history and special requirements
  • Sanitize and maintain grooming equipment and workstations
  • Stay current with grooming trends, techniques, and breed-specific standards
  • Participate in creating a calm, welcoming environment for both pets and PAWrents

Qualifications

  • Professional grooming experience with a variety of breeds and coat types
  • Demonstrated skill in both breed standard cuts and creative styling
  • Knowledge of pet anatomy, skin conditions, and general health indicators
  • Natural ability to calm and reassure nervous or anxious pets
  • Excellent scissoring, clipper, and finishing techniques
  • Strong communication skills with both pets and their PAWrents
  • Patience and genuine compassion for animals
  • Physical stamina to stand for extended periods and handle pets of various sizes
  • Commitment to continuous learning and skill development
  • Professional grooming certification preferred but not required for experienced groomers

What Sets Our Team Apart

  • Work alongside the only Nationally Certified Master Groomer in North Texas
  • Practice in an environment specifically designed for pet comfort and stress reduction
  • Be part of a holistic approach that considers the whole pet, not just their appearance
  • Join a team that genuinely treats each pet as a family member
  • Contribute to building lasting relationships with PAWrents as their trusted grooming advisor

Benefits

  • Competitive commission-based pay structure with opportunity for growth
  • Regular clientele and booking support
  • Continuing education opportunities
  • High-quality professional equipment and premium products
  • Employee discounts on pet services and products
  • Supportive team environment focused on wellness for both pets and staff
