What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Groomer position at Earthwise Pet?
Overview
Earthwise Pet - Nutrition Center & Wellness Spa is a locally owned Holistic Pet Supply Store and Grooming Salon, and we're bringing our passion for nutrition and pet care to West Des Moines. We are seeking dedicated and passionate Dog Groomers to join our team.
Our GROOMBAR salons feature top of the line grooming equipment; from tables that are fully electric, have in-table storage drawers, and built in table lighting to help see the undercarriage of those dark breeds of dogs, we strive to provide the best for our team. Candidates must have a passion for animals and possess the skills necessary to provide exceptional grooming services to dogs of all breeds and sizes. At Earthwise Pet, Pets Are Family.
Responsibilities
- Perform grooming services including bathing (until we fill out our bathing staff), brushing, clipping, and styling for various breeds of dogs. We prefer that our groomers don't need to bathe, as we intend to employ a full-time bathing staff. This way groomers can focus specifically on their craft: GROOMING!
- Assess the condition of dogs' coats and skin to determine appropriate grooming techniques.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized grooming area to ensure the comfort and safety of our dogs.
- Communicate effectively with dog owners regarding their pet's grooming needs and any health concerns observed during grooming sessions.
- Handle animals with care, using proper animal restraint techniques to ensure safety for both the pet and the groomer.
- Provide additional services such as nail trimming, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing as needed.
Experience
- Must have professional grooming experience. Experience of more than 1 year is preferred, but not mandatory.
- Familiarity with animal care practices, including knowledge of various breeds' grooming requirements.
- Ability to perform heavy lifting when handling larger animals or equipment.
- Strong interpersonal skills to interact positively with both pets and their owners.
If you are passionate about animal care and have the skills required to provide excellent grooming services, we encourage you to apply.
