Charlotte, United States PetSuites Full time

The Groomer is a commission-based position within the Resort and reports directly to the General Manager. We believe in the mission of "Pet Lovers Delighting Pet Lovers" and we demonstrate this through being Playful, Passionate, Personal and Professional. A successful candidate for this position will be someone who not only embraces this culture, but is a team player, self-motivated, takes direction well, has excellent communication skills, and great attention to detail. This is a service-related industry and you should not only be skilled at customer service, but passionate about helping people. Most importantly, candidates should have experience grooming or bathing all breeds of dogs and cats. Primary responsibilities are to ensure that all pets in your care receive a groom that is of professional quality that meets or exceeds the client's request without ever compromising the physical and emotional health of the pet.

A Day in the Life:

This role is very important to our pets and their parents. You're the one who makes them feel like a million bucks Oftentimes, you are helping keep their pet healthy by maintaining a clean and well-groomed animal. Daily, you'll work on both animals with reservations, walk-in appointments and some of our guests who are staying with us in boarding. You'll perform a full groom, simple baths and touch ups and sometimes, the random "emergency-someone-just-peed-on-themselves-because-they-are-so-excited-bath." You'll not only communicate with the dog(s), but also have a lot of interaction with mom and dad. You'll document what you are seeing - sometimes you're the first to notice an issue and can help the parents solve a health concern. And let's not forgetyou're probably going to scoop some poop, clean up some pee, go home with some fur on you and get lots of sloppy kisses

Responsibilities:

  • Provide an overall positive experience for the pets as they are being groomed, including compassion, gentleness, reassurance, safety, and comfort.
  • Ensure that all guests are groomed or bathed (depending on the parent's requests) to the parent's specifications. Grooms/Baths must be completed on time.

  • Disinfecting drying rooms is crucial. Use disinfectant daily and bleach weekly on all drying rooms.
  • Monitor guest's health while grooming or bathing. Report any unusual concerns to the general manager and the pet parent.
  • Ensure the guest has water and a chance to "go potty" if he or she will be with you for over 2 hours.
  • Follow all standards of safety with regards to handling guests, particularly aggressive guests and escape artists.
  • Pay specific attention to kennel tags, (Meds Person to Feed, Aggressive, Separate for Feeding, etc.).
