We're currently exploring the skills and qualities of 5-7 dog groomers to discover the ideal match for our salon. At Ann's Pet Salon, we appreciate dedication, integrity, reliability, efficiency, and excellence in our team members. We are looking for someone who takes pride in being reliable, punctual, and dedicated to delivering high-quality grooming services and can enjoy each day and challenge with a smile on their face. Must be willing to learn, grow, and teach. Individuals dedicated to excellence and with a genuine love for our furry friends will flourish in our small, family-like environment. Every day brings unique challenges, requiring flexibility, a light-hearted attitude, and a readiness for laughter. This is an environment where you will be required to stand for extended periods, handle heavy dogs, bend down, and, if necessary, restrain dogs. Our commitment is to ensure the comfort of our furry friends, which may involve being on the floor to better assist the dog in question. If you have significant health issues that hinder movement, this may not be the ideal job for you.
