- Maintain a safe, calm environment for dogs of all temperaments
- Support teammates to keep the Scenter running on schedule
- Follow all Scenthound safety, sanitation, and cleaning protocols
- Communicate effectively with team members and dog parents
- Perform other duties as assigned by the Scenter Manager
What We’re Looking For
- 1+ year of grooming experience or graduation from a grooming school
- Must be reliable and have reliable transportation
- Experience with puppy cuts and comfort following established protocols
- Knowledge of dog handling, grooming tools, and basic breed characteristics
- Strong time-management skills and ability to work efficiently without rushing
- Calm, patient, and compassionate with dogs of all sizes and temperaments
- Team-oriented, coachable, and willing to help where needed
- No ego — we value collaboration, consistency, and care above all else
- Ability to lift up to 70 lbs and stand for extended periods
- Reliable transportation
- Willingness to work in a smoke-free environment
- A genuine love for dogs
Skills & Abilities
- Excellent communication

- Problem-solving and adaptability
- Strong organizational and time-management skills
- Ability to self-critique and uphold high standards of cleanliness and animal handling
Benefits & Perks
- Competitive hourly base pay plus tips
