About Us

At Scenthound, we're not just a dog grooming business — we’re redefining what it means to care for our four-legged family members. Our mission is simple : keep dogs clean and healthy, and do so in a way that builds a passionate, connected team. We believe in dog-first care , team-first culture , and purpose-driven leadership .

We’re growing fast, and we’re looking for an Area Manager to grow with us.

Core Values

• DOG FIRST : We advocate for the health and well-being of every dog in our care.
• ONE PACK : We are one company, one team, with one mission. We trust, respect, and support one another.
• BRING LOVE : We bring good energy to our work, and we do our job with loving intention.
• SEEK GROWTH : We believe. We learn. We grow.
• MAKE A DIFFERENCE : We work with purpose and are driven by a desire to make a positive impact.

The Role

As an Area Manager, you won’t be sitting in an office looking at dashboards — you’ll be in the stores, rolling up your sleeves, developing people, and making things happen. You’ll oversee a group of 3+ locations and lead the team to deliver exceptional service and performance.

This role is ideal for a hands-on, people-first leader who is energized by coaching, solving problems, and driving operational excellence.

Growth Opportunity

This is not a static role. As we grow, so will your responsibilities — with the potential to oversee more Scenters and eventually step into a more strategic leadership position with less in-scenter involvement. We are looking for someone who’s not just filling a role, but building a career with Scenthound.
