What we’re looking for
  • Prior professional grooming experience (1+ year preferred, strong work may offset experience)
  • Solid grooming skills and consistency across different coat types and breeds
  • Good judgment with handling dogs safely and professionally
  • Dependable, detail-oriented, and able to work in a busy environment without cutting corners
Compensation & Benefits
  • Pay based on experience
  • Commission opportunities
  • Health insurance (full-time)
