We take care of the business so you can focus on what you do best: grooming and caring for dogs.

About the Mobile Grooming Vehicle
For your first few months, the grooming vehicle will be picked up and returned to our Town ’n’ Country home base, where we handle towels, laundry, restocking, and other behind-the-scenes support.
Once you're established with the team and comfortable with the routine, there may be an opportunity to keep the grooming vehicle at your home, making your workday even more convenient.
Our goal is to let you enjoy the independence of mobile grooming without having to run the entire business yourself.

- Notice and communicate concerns such as fleas, ticks, cysts, sores, skin irritation, or other abnormalities
- Communicate professionally and warmly with clients
- Maintain a clean, sanitized, organized, and safe grooming vehicle
What We’re Looking For
- Minimum 2 years of professional dog grooming experience
- Experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, coats, and grooming styles
- Confident working independently
- Calm, patient, and compassionate with animals
