You perform standard grooming services such as brushing, de-matting, de-shedding, conditioning, ear cleanings, nail trims, specialized breed cuts, and mixed-breed styles. As needed, you also perform special requests and help pet parents identify solutions to their pet's unique needs.

While you prepare, bathe, and finish animals, you promote a safe and positive grooming experience for all with your calm demeanor and use of best practices. Always cleaning up after dogs, you maintain a clean and sanitary environment. You keep accurate and up-to-date grooming records in our computer software system. The trusting relationships that you build with clients and their pets help our company to grow and thrive.
