Job Overview

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Dog Groomer to join our team. The ideal candidate is someone who values teamwork, takes pride in their grooming skills, and is committed to delivering top-quality service to both pets and their owners. While there is an opportunity for career progression into leadership roles, we welcome applicants who are purely focused on their grooming craft as well.

Responsibilities

• Perform breed-standard and custom grooming services with precision and care
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment
• Collaborate with team members to ensure smooth daily operations
• Provide excellent customer service and build strong relationships with clients
• Handle pets with kindness and patience, ensuring a stress-free experience
• Stay up to date with industry trends and best practices

Requirements

• Professional grooming experience to include use of grooming tools such as but not limited to clippers, shears/scissors, dremels; professional pet grade dryers, bathing techniques and proper use of products.
• Strong knowledge of dog breeds, coat types, and grooming techniques
• Although this position is primarily for Dog Grooming, we are expanding into the cat grooming world as-well so let us know if that is in your wheelhouse.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Commitment to maintaining a positive and respectful work environment
• Reliable and punctual with a strong work ethic
• Must provide 1-3 professional references
• Business hours are Tuesdays - Saturdays 8:00am - 5:00pm. Four days required, one of which needs to be Saturdays.

We are mainly looking for a full-time groomer at this time, however we are also exploring a salon assistant manager position, so there is a potential to grow into a larger role but ONLY if that interests you!

This current position is set-up as commission-based, but if you’re a retiring groomer or someone looking for a mix of grooming and operations (reception/cleaning), we’re flexible and open to finding the right fit.

Thanks for reading to the bottom and please share with anyone you feel is as good fit.
