Entry Level Pet Grooming Trainee

No Grooming Experience Required | Paid Training | Career Path with Dogs

Love dogs and want to build a real career, but do not have formal pet care experience? We train reliable, motivated people to become professional pet groomers.

At Bark & Mane of Greater Memphis, formerly Aussie Pet Mobile, many of our groomers started in customer service, restaurants, retail, daycare, veterinary clinics, and other hands-on jobs before learning grooming with us.

This is a full-time trainee position for someone who wants to learn a skilled trade, work with dogs every day, and build strong earning potential over time.

What You Will Learn

You will receive paid, hands-on training to become a professional pet groomer. During training, you will learn dog handling, bathing, drying, grooming skills, safety, customer communication, van care, and the daily process of mobile grooming.

After training, you will work independently in a company mobile grooming vehicle at clients’ homes. Our dispatch team handles scheduling, route planning, and customer support so you can focus on the pets, the clients, and the quality of your work.

Why People Like This Career

Paid training to become a professional pet groomer
4 day work week once training is complete
Work independently during the day with support from our office team
Tips and performance based bonus opportunities
Health, dental, vision, PTO, paid holidays, and 401k with company match
A skilled trade with strong long term earning potential

What To Expect

This is active, physical work. You will stand, bend, lift, clean, drive between appointments, communicate with clients, and safely handle dogs of different sizes and temperaments.

Training schedules may differ from the regular groomer schedule. Once trained and running appointments, groomers generally work 4 days per week, including Saturdays.

After training, compensation is commission based with tips and bonus opportunities. Established full-time groomers on our team commonly earn approximately $60,000 to $90,000 per year including tips, depending on performance, availability, speed, and the client base they build. Individual earnings are not guaranteed.

We provide a professional starter grooming tool kit, with repayment handled over time during the first several months. Full details are reviewed during the hiring process.

What We Are Looking For

No formal grooming or pet care experience required
Valid driver’s license and reasonably clean driving record
Reliable attendance and dependable transportation
Comfortable working with dogs and learning safe handling
Friendly, professional communication with clients
Willingness to learn, accept feedback, and improve
Ability to work independently without being micromanaged
Interest in building a long-term career, not just finding a short term job

If you want to learn a valuable skill, work with dogs, and build a career with strong earning potential, apply today to become an Entry Level Pet Grooming Trainee.
