Grooming is offered seven days a week, and you would create your own schedule, based on your income needs.

We offer the standard market commission on all grooming services, as well as discounts on all store products and services.

  • Full Service Groom / Full Service Bath / Breed Standard Cuts
  • Customer relations – develop relationships with clientele and their dogs. You should be able to explain to customers the best cut/grooming option for each dog.
  • Managing busy grooming schedules and communicating progress to receptionists and clients.
  • Maintaining a clean grooming room
  • Upkeep grooming tools
  • Organize and update client profiles
  • At least 3 years of grooming experience with a wide variety of sizes and breeds of dogs

  • Strong work ethіс
  • Upbeat, enthusiastic personality
  • Must love dogs!
