Company Description At Dogtopia, we have a passion for caring for dogs. Happy, healthy pups are at the heart of who we are. Weve created a loving place with what dogs want and need in mind. Its a dog daycare, boarding and spa facility all rolled into one retail setting.
Our Dog Groomer position is a unique opportunity for the right person looking to have the freedom of running their own spa, but less of the hassles of finding customers or business details. You get full autonomy over the grooming area. We are looking for a Part Time groomer with the opportunity to add additional days as business grows. Flexible hours and days based on what you're looking for.
This is not an opportunity to learn a grooming skillset, you must have had training and experience cutting dogs' hair for a minimum of 1 year in order to be considered. Education/Experience: A qualified applicant to this position will demonstrate knowledge and skills in the grooming industry, this is not an apprenticeship opportunity. In addition, the applicant must have a minimum of two year's experience grooming pets under the leadership of a professional groomer or equivalent experience in the field.
Essential Job Functions: - Professionally perform basic grooming services on animals as requested by customers and in accordance with company policy and procedure, ensuring the safety and well-being of each pet
- Direct customer service experience is essential! We believe the best way for a groomer to deliver on what a client wants is to directly speak to the pet parent themselves. If a client is unhappy, the groomer will be responsible for also handling complaints of grooming and the daycare management will only intercede when necessary. It is each groomers responsibility to deliver to the clients expectations.
- High standards of cleanliness- Maintaining a clean and sanitized area is not only integral to great client service but also for the health of the dogs. A groomer needs to maintain a neat and tidy area at all times.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills- You will be the main point of contact for the clients who are having their pet groomed. Our groomers need to have effective communication skills as there are times when sensitive items need to be discussed with the parent.
- Compassion and experience in handling nervous dogs is a must! There are nervous dogs and we strive to make grooming a positive experience for all dogs. Possessing skills to calm and work with nervous dogs is essential.
- Ability to receive feedback from the clients as well as the daycare management- We want our groomers to thrive and grow and feedback is essential to further development in all positions.
- Groomers need to be professional in appearance themselves at all times. This is a dirty job but maintaining a level of good personal grooming is important.
- Manage dogs up to 120+ lbs in size
- Adhering to the employee handbook policies and procedures as well as adherence to the company values! - If you are not a value driven individual, you will not be happy with our company.
