Professional Dog Groomer

Full-Time | Commission-Based

Are you a skilled groomer who values safety, precision, and strong client relationships?

We are seeking an experienced Dog Groomer to join our Pet Spa team. This role is ideal for a professional who takes pride in high-quality grooms, clear communication, and protecting the physical and emotional well-being of every pet.

Who We Are

NVA Pet Resorts is part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA) — the largest private owner of veterinary hospitals and pet resorts in North America, with 1,300+ locations. We’re proud to be in an $8B+ industry that continues to grow as pet parents seek premium, trusted care for their furry family members.

At NVA Pet Resorts, our mission is simple:

Create safe, fun, and loving environments for pets while providing exceptional experiences for our clients and team members.

Position Overview

This is a commission-based role reporting to the General Manager.

Our groomers are trusted professionals responsible for:

  • Delivering high-quality, breed-appropriate grooms
  • Maintaining strict safety standards
  • Communicating clearly with pet parents
  • Protecting the health and emotional well-being of every pet
  • Safety and communication are just as important as technical skill.

What You’ll Do

  • Grooming & Safety
  • Perform full grooms, baths, and touch-ups to professional standards
  • Assess coat condition and pet temperament before starting services
  • Never compromise safety for speed or aesthetics
  • Monitor pets closely for signs of stress, injury, or health concerns
  • Follow all handling protocols, especially for senior, anxious, aggressive, or medically sensitive pets
  • Ensure pets have water and potty breaks during longer appointments
  • Maintain safe tool handling and equipment checks daily

Client Communication

  • Conduct thorough meet-and-greets to clarify expectations
  • Explain coat condition, grooming limitations, and realistic outcomes
  • Obtain approval for any additional services or pricing adjustments
  • Provide post-groom updates and report any health observations
  • Respond promptly to client calls and emails
  • Rebook and maintain your client base professionally

Cleanliness & Professional Standards

  • Maintain a sanitized grooming space at all times
  • Sweep hair promptly and clean bathing/drying areas daily
  • Disinfect drying rooms daily and deep disinfect weekly
  • Properly label and identify all pets in your care
  • Communicate clearly with pet care staff regarding pet location and timing

What We’re Looking For

  • We are seeking a groomer who is:
  • Experienced and technically skilled
  • Calm, patient, and safety-focused
  • Strong in written and verbal communication
  • Detail-oriented and organized
  • Professional and reliable
  • Comfortable working in a team-based resort environment

You must be able to:

  • Groom all breeds and coat types confidently
  • Lift up to 60 lbs
  • Stand for extended periods
  • Work weekends
  • Handle pets safely and gently at all times

Qualifications

  • 2–4 years professional grooming experience preferred
  • Grooming certification preferred but not required
  • Strong knowledge of breed standards and scissoring techniques
  • Commitment to humane handling practices

Work Schedule

  • Full-Time
  • Monday–Friday shifts
  • Weekend availability required

Benefits & Perks

  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Employee Pet Care Discounts
  • Tips
  • Growth opportunities within NVA
