Groomer

Pet Groomer — Commission-Based | 2–5 Years Experience Required

Job Summary

We are a family-owned, woman-led pet grooming business seeking an experienced, professional Pet Groomer to join our team on a commission-based compensation model. This is not an hourly role — compensation is paid by commission per groom.

This role is for a groomer who takes pride in their craft, shows up consistently, and delivers excellent, high-quality grooming services to every client, every time. You will be responsible for the full grooming process — from intake to finish — while maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and client communication.

We are looking for someone who sees grooming as a profession, values dependability and commitment, and wants to grow with a stable, values-driven small business.

Compensation

• Commission-based pay per groom (not hourly or salaried)
• Earnings are directly tied to your productivity, skill, and client volume
• High performers are rewarded accordingly

Duties & Responsibilities

• Perform full grooming services including bathing, brushing, de-shedding, trimming, clipping, and breed-standard styling
• Safely and confidently handle pets of various sizes, breeds, temperaments, and coat types
• Assess coat and skin condition and flag any health or behavioral concerns to owners when appropriate
• Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized grooming workspace; sanitize tools and equipment between pets
• Provide clear, professional communication with pet owners regarding grooming needs, expectations, and aftercare
• Maintain accurate appointment, service, and client records as required
• Uphold a consistently high standard of grooming quality, animal safety, and customer experience

Required Qualifications

• 2–5 years of hands-on professional grooming experience (required)
• Demonstrated proficiency in full-service grooming (not just bathing or basic trims)
• Strong knowledge of animal handling, coat types, breed standards, and safe restraint techniques
• Ability to handle large dogs and physically demanding work safely
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
• Strong reliability, punctuality, and professional accountability

Preferred (Not Required)

• Experience with anxious, reactive, or special-needs pets
• Basic dog behavior or training knowledge
• Prior experience in a veterinary, kennel, or animal care setting

Who This Role Is For

This role is ideal for a groomer who:

• Wants a commission-based role where earnings reflect performance
• Values stability, professionalism, and long-term commitment
• Takes pride in excellent work , not rushing, not cutting corners
• Enjoys working in a small, family-run, woman-led business with strong values and high standards
• Wants to be trusted as a professional, not micromanaged

Who This Role Is NOT For

• Someone looking for hourly or guaranteed pay regardless of output
• Someone new to grooming or still in training
• Someone seeking short-term, seasonal, or side-hustle work
• Someone uncomfortable with client communication or professional accountability

Our Culture

We are a family-owned, woman-led business built on:

• Dependability — we do what we say we will do
• Commitment — to our clients, their pets, and each other
• Excellence — in the quality of our work and how we treat people and animals

If you are a skilled groomer who wants to work in a professional, respectful, and high-standards environment — and you are motivated by commission-based earning — we would love to hear from you.
