Dog Groomer

Candidates must have previous grooming experience. This is a commission-based job but there will be an hourly wage paid of $20 per hour while your client base ramps up.

Saturdays are a must, but the rest of the week is somewhat flexible - this is a good job for someone working around childcare hours
