What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Groomer position at The Gentle Groomer LLC?
Overview
Experienced Professional Dog Groomer
We are seeking an experienced, professional dog groomer to join our small, established salon for Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
Our salon is intentionally different from the high-volume, assembly-line grooming environments that have become common in the industry. We believe quality grooming takes time, and we are committed to providing a calm, low-stress experience for both pets and groomers.
This position is ideal for a groomer who values one-on-one appointments, enjoys building trust with dogs, and takes pride in producing quality work without being rushed.
What We Offer
- Commission-based pay (50%) tips
- One-on-one grooming environment
- Calm, low-stress salon atmosphere
- No overbooking or unrealistic scheduling expectations
- Freedom to work at a pace that prioritizes quality and pet comfort
- Flexibility with time off when needed
- Supportive management that respects your professional judgment
- Opportunity to work independently without micromanagement
- Opportunity to continue education
What We're Looking For
- Professional grooming experience required
- Ability to complete full grooms independently from start to finish
- Confidence working alone and managing your schedule efficiently
- Strong handling skills and commitment to pet safety
- Dependable, self-motivated, and professional
- Positive communication skills with clients and coworkers
We are looking for someone who genuinely cares about the dogs in their care and appreciates an environment where quality, safety, and respect come before speed.
If you're looking for a grooming position where you can focus on doing your best work without the pressure of an assembly-line schedule, we'd love to hear from you.
To apply, please send your resume, grooming experience, professional grooming references, and any photos or portfolio of your work.
