Are You a Good Fit?

Join us in shaping the future of pet grooming, one happy tail at a time.

At Dogfather, we’re looking for groomers who genuinely love animals. Not just working with them. Loving them. Respecting their boundaries, reading their cues, and taking pride in making every pet feel safe, calm, and well cared for.

We’re hiring experienced groomers for both our luxury salons and our mobile grooming team. This is a role for professionals who value a harmonious work environment and know how to balance independence with collaboration. You should be comfortable working on your own, confident in your skills, and equally invested in being a supportive teammate when needed.

You’ll thrive here if you’re seeking the freedom to excel at your craft within the autonomy of a small business. Kindness isn’t a buzzword at Dogfather, it’s a guiding principle. We care deeply about the experience you create for pets, clients, and each other.

Are You a Good Fit?

What we’re looking for

Our work culture is a top priority. Truly. To ensure a great mutual fit, we offer day visits and shadowing opportunities after the initial interview process. We want this to be a place where you can see yourself growing, and staying for years to come.

A genuine love for animals and their well-being
At least 2 years of professional grooming experience
Experience grooming cats is a plus (and always appreciated!)
Kindness, patience, and a calm presence
Independence and strong personal responsibility
Reliability and commitment to showing up prepared
A desire to learn, grow, and refine your skills
A sharp eye for detail and an artistic touch
Self-directed, energetic, and motivated

For mobile grooming applicants

You’ll need a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record. You’re representing Dogfather on the road and at our clients’ homes, and professionalism matters.

How to Apply

To apply, please email your resume to Marie Koenig at info@dogfathergrooming.com, along with a cover letter explaining why Dogfather feels like the right next step for you. If you have one, include a link to your digital portfolio or photos of your recent work. We love seeing your craft in action.

We look forward to hearing from you!

What Does Dogfather Offer?

You’ll have the luxury of your own private room. Quiet. Focused. With a very manageable workload that allows you to do your best work without burnout.

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical and dental insurance, paid vacation, retirement benefits, an educational stipend, sharpening allowance, yearly and holiday bonuses, and more.

Becoming a Certified Groomer is an important part of our team’s journey, and we provide guidance and financial support to help you get there. While we don’t offer formal training programs, you’ll be joining a close-knit community of dedicated professionals, each working independently, yet united by a shared standard of excellence and care.

If you take pride in your work and believe grooming is both a skill and a responsibility, you may feel right at home here.
