What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Groomer position at Brown Dog Bakery?
At Brown Dog Bakery, we believe grooming should feel like a spa day — not a factory line. We're a holistic pet supply store and grooming salon focused on clean products, low-stress services, and building relationships with both pets and their people.
We’re proud to say we were named America’s Coolest Pet Store by Pet Magazine in 2021 — and we’re just getting started. We also bring in Blake Hernandez (yes, that Blake Hernandez) once a year for an exclusive in-person grooming clinic. It’s a big deal in the industry, and we’re all about investing in growth, education, and artistry in grooming.
Now, we’re looking for a skilled and compassionate groomer who takes pride in their work, treats pets like family, and thrives in a supportive, positive, and wag-filled workplace.
What You’ll Do:
- Provide professional, gentle grooming services for a variety of dog breeds and coat types
- Consult with pet parents to understand grooming needs and provide top-notch customer service
- Maintain a clean, organized grooming space (we’re big on sanitation and safety!)
- Work with a great team who respects your time, skills, and sanity
What We’re Looking For:
- At least 1 year of professional grooming experience (school grads welcome to apply with portfolio)
- Confident in grooming all dog breeds and sizes (cats a bonus but not required)
- Calm, patient, and able to handle dogs with a gentle touch and a good sense of humor
- Excellent time management and communication skills
- Someone who’s as obsessed with quality and customer care as we are
Why Brown Dog Bakery?
- 50% commission tips – our groomers average [50 to 100K for Full Time]
- Clean, well-stocked salon with support from our retail and bathing team
- A steady client base that loves us (and we love them right back)
- Ongoing education opportunities, including an annual hands-on clinic with Blake Hernandez
- Award-winning culture – we’re literally America’s Coolest Pet Store 2021
- Staff discount on premium holistic foods, treats, and toys
- You’ll never be treated like a number here – just part of the pack
Bonus Points If:
- You’ve worked in a holistic or wellness-focused environment
- You’re a pro at grooming double-coated breeds, doodles, or seniors
- You like sharing adorable pet pics and being part of a fun team culture
