Job Description
Mayfair Animal Hospital is seeking a highly skilled professional groomer to join our team and work alongside a beloved groomer with over 20 years of experience. Due to overwhelming demand, she is currently booking months in advance and is unable to accept new clients. We are looking for an accomplished groomer whose skills and professionalism can match the high standards our clients have come to expect.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
Veterinary Support at Your FingertipsOne of the most unique benefits of grooming within an animal hospital is access to veterinary support when needed. Challenging feline grooming appointments, severe matting cases, or pets that become overly stressed can be evaluated by our veterinary team. In appropriate cases, doctor-assisted sedation may be available, allowing groomers to safely perform necessary lion cuts and other procedures that would be difficult or impossible with a fully awake patient.
A Grooming Facility Built for SuccessOur grooming department is already equipped with:
Three grooming tubsThree grooming tablesAmple workspace for multiple groomersA large kennel facility for comfortable pre- and post-grooming accommodations, including larger breed dogsVeterinary staff support when neededUnlike many standalone grooming businesses where space is limited, our facility provides room for pets to be safely housed and monitored throughout the day.
Established Client DemandThe demand already exists. Our current groomer has built an exceptional reputation over two decades and maintains a loyal client base that continues to grow. New client requests regularly exceed our current capacity, creating an immediate opportunity for the right groomer to step into a busy schedule.
Opportunity for Growth and ExpansionFor the right individualor even an established grooming teamthe possibilities extend far beyond simply filling appointment slots.
We have the space, client demand, and institutional support to significantly expand our grooming services. We envision the potential for grooming to become a premier destination and featured service within our community, rather than simply something Mayfair Animal Hospital happens to offer.
If you have entrepreneurial ambitions, this could be a rare opportunity to partner with an established veterinary hospital while building and growing your own grooming clientele and reputation.
