At Very Important Pooch, we strongly believe in Quality over Quantity. We strive to provide the best experience for the pets in our care by offering a cage-free salon and straight-through grooming services, strictly by appointment. This helps us to ensure a calm and quiet environment not only for our clients, but for our staff as well. We also provide a wide variety of premium pet foods, treats and supplies.
The perfect candidate for this position will be passionate about animals, work well within a small team, have excellent customer service skills, and have the desire to further their knowledge on all things grooming. Our clientele expect a professional appearance and attitude from our staff, so it’s important to dress and act appropriately in the workplace.
Our customer service staff answers phones, performs checkouts, and schedules appointments, however stylists are responsible for checking in their clients and returning pets to their owner at the end of the visit, as well as discussing any relevant information or concerns. We value each stylist maintaining a relationship with their clients and encourage communicating with the pet parents both at drop off and pickup. Our clientele typically prebook several appointments at a time and expect consistent high-quality haircuts for their pets. With that said, the ability to provide a beautiful, hand-scissored finish is incredibly important.
There will be poop. There will be pee. You will get wet. You will also have a great time working as part of a close-knit group of animal lovers, helping dogs look and feel their best.
