Crate Escape Pet Resort

We are seeking a part-time Dog Groomer to join our team! We are a full service salon. This starts as part time and has the potential to move to full time for the right candidate. You will be responsible for providing grooming services to our pet clients and to help maintain the well-being of the pets at our Resort.

Responsibilities:

• Handle general grooming tasks and care such as bathing, de-matts, breed specific cuts, and other spa services (teeth brushing, nail clip/grind, anal gland expression, hair dye, ear cleaning, etc.) of the animals
• Assess and communicate any health issues or concerns to pet owners
• Maintain a clean and healthy environment
• Ability to work in a fast paced, high volume environment
• Ability to stand for long periods of time, with frequent walking and the occasional heavy lifting of large dogs
• Comfortable working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments
• Flexibility: our Resort is open for grooming Monday-Friday and (ideally) two Saturdays a month

Qualifications:

• At least 3 years of professional grooming experience preferred (can provide grooming supplies if needed)
• High school diploma or GED equivalent
• Passion to help and beautify animals
• Ability to interact with animals in a calm, non-threatening manner
• A team player with strong company values

We are a local, small business with a passion for animals! Our Resort is for small dogs, but we do offer grooming services to dogs of all ages and sizes. We are looking for a groomer who has their own clients, but is not a dealbreaker, and is looking for the private shop experience. This job is commission based and has benefits (health insurance and 401k) after 90 days.

We provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability.

Please email Office@CrateEscapeResort.com with your resume and inquires!

Crate Escape Resort was established in February 2022. We are Richmond's favorite location for all things small dogs!
