Furry Land Milwaukee is growing, and we're looking for an experienced pet groomer to join our mobile grooming team.
Our groomers typically earn $1,250-$2,000/week through commissions and tips, depending on schedule, production, quality, and client demand.
We're adding another grooming van because of strong client demand. This role is best for a groomer who is reliable, skilled, professional with clients, and comfortable working independently.

  • Supportive, employee-focused team
  • Professional grooming vans and quality equipment
  • Less salon chaos and more personal client relationships
  • Strong earning potential for dependable, quality groomers

What You'll Do
  • Drive a mobile grooming van to client appointments
  • Bathe, dry, brush, and groom dogs
  • Perform breed-standard and client-requested haircuts
  • Assess coat condition, matting, temperament, and safety
  • Communicate clearly with pet parents
  • Keep the van clean, sanitized, stocked, and ready
  • Manage your daily pace and schedule independently

What We're Looking For

This Role Is a Great Fit If You
  • Take pride in your grooming work
  • Show up consistently and on time
  • Like working independently
  • Communicate well with clients
  • Want a calmer alternative to a traditional salon
  • Are motivated by quality work, happy pets, and strong earnings

This Role May Not Be a Fit If You
  • Need frequent last-minute schedule changes
  • Struggle with punctuality or attendance
  • Do not want feedback on your grooming work
  • Are uncomfortable driving or working alone
  • Prefer a casual or low-accountability job

Hiring Process
Qualified candidates may complete:
  • Phone interview
  • In-person interview
  • Portfolio review of recent grooming work
  • Grooming skills evaluation
  • Reference check

The first 90 days focus heavily on attendance, professionalism, grooming quality, safety, coachability, client communication, and consistency.
