We’re currently sniffing out our next Groomer at Dugans Veterinary Hospital

Do you dream in coat types and clipper guards? Can you turn a scruffy pup into a showstopper and chat kindly with the owner of a matted doodle who says, “Just a trim”? Come take your place alongside a team who care hard, laugh often, and leave no tail untamed.

At Destination Pet, we’re not just another Pet / Vet care center—we’re a community built on belly rubs, breed standards, and a belief that every pet deserves to look (and feel) their best.

🎁 Perks & Pay :

YOU choose : Start hourly for your first 60 days OR jump right into commission-based pay

50% commission (or 40% if you're working with a bather)

30% commission on basic baths (if applicable)

Discounts on pet services like boarding, daycare, training, and more

20% off veterinary care at Destination Pet facilities

Professional equipment provided—and sharpened twice a year on our dime

Flexible scheduling and quality-over-quantity expectations

Continuing education support for seminars, expos, and advanced techniques

Full-time benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, Mental Health, Life, Disability, 401K Match, and Free Pet Insurance (1 pet)

Career growth opportunities within the Destination Pet network

📋 Reporting To : General Manager

💪 What You Should Know :

Professional grooming experience is required.

Must be able to lift 50 lbs, stand for long periods, and manage large or nervous dogs safely.

Exposure to fur, cleaning chemicals, wet pups, ahem, “accidents” and unpredictable zoomies is guaranteed.

Must be able to work in a physically active environment with heat, cold, water, and noise.

🐾 What You Bring to the Table :

Proven experience grooming a wide range of breeds and coat types.

Time management, attention to detail, and a customer-first mindset.

Familiarity with pet behavior, stress signals, and safe handling practices.

You communicate clearly—with clients, teammates, and even the pets.

Reliable, calm under pressure, and excited to keep learning.

You love animals and treat each one like they’re your own.

🐕 What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Making Dogs Look Fur-bulous) :

Snipping, shaping, and styling pets based on owner preferences or breed standards.

Trimming nails, cleaning ears, brushing teeth, and tidying up the tail end.

Bathing dogs (or working with bathers to prep pets for grooming).

Chatting with pet parents about grooming needs, coat care, and what’s trending in tails.

Keeping your station neat, your tools sharp, and your vibe fresh.

Tagging in the front desk when pups are fluffed, puffed, and ready for pickup.

Providing a calm, kind, safe experience for every animal in your care.

Representing Destination Pet’s values of compassion, quality, and community.

Ready to make the world fluffier, one pup at a time? If you're all about clean cuts, calm pups, and a crew that has your back—it's time to join our pack!
