At Wag N Wash, we believe pets are family. As a Pet Groomer, you do more than make pets look great — you help them feel comfortable, cared for, and confident. You’ll build relationships with pet parents, provide expert grooming services, and create a safe, positive experience for every pet that walks through our doors.
This role is ideal for experienced groomers who take pride in their craft and want to grow in a pet-first, neighborly environment.
We start all of our groomers with a guaranteed hourly rate. This role includes a 50% commission rate and tips. Our top earners can expect to make $80,000 per year or more!
What You’ll Do
- Provide full-service dog grooming including bathing, brushing, clipping, and styling
- Groom to breed standards or customize based on each pet parent’s request
- Safely groom an average of 5–7 dogs per day (mix of full grooms and bath services)
- Deliver a grooming experience that gives every pet their best “spaw day”
- Help a nervous rescue feel comfortable or turn a muddy mess into a proud pup
- Build relationships with neighbors and recommend products/services for ongoing pet care
- Manage appointments and rebook clients using in-store tools
- Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming salon environment
- Support store events and collaborate with your team to grow your client base
What We’re Looking For
- 1+ year of professional grooming experience (Pet Groomer, Dog Groomer, or Pet Stylist)
- Ability to perform breed-standard cuts (AKC standards preferred)
- Experience with hand scissoring, clipping, and finishing techniques
- Strong understanding of animal behavior and safe handling practices
- Excellent communication and customer service skills
- Ability to lift up to 65 lbs and stand for extended periods
- Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays
- You value safety first—you are not expected to groom aggressive or unsafe pets
- Thrive in a team-based salon environment with consistent client flow and support
What We Value
- Pet Safety & Comfort First
- Quality Craftsmanship
- Teamwork & Positivity
