You’ll build relationships with pet parents, provide expert grooming services, and create a safe, positive experience for every pet that walks through our doors.
This role is ideal for experienced groomers who take pride in their craft and want to grow in a pet-first, neighborly environment.
We start all of our groomers with a guaranteed hourly rate. This role includes a 50% commission rate and tips. Our top earners can expect to make $80,000 per year or more!
