Hours: Monday–Saturday, 8 AM–6 PM
Full-time and Part-time positions available
BEFORE YOU APPLY
We require at least 6 months of professional grooming experience. Applications without it will not be considered — please don't apply if you're hoping to learn on the job. (We do have a separate bather-to-groomer training path if that's where you're at!)
WHY GROOMERS ACTUALLY STAY AT SCENTHOUND
- No complicated breed cuts. We do functional puppy cuts (one length all-over, neat face) with light customizations. Less stress for the dog, less strain on your body, more dogs done per day.
- Predictable schedule. Closed Sundays. Home by 6.
- Membership model means consistent dogs and consistent income. You see the same pups regularly and build real relationships — no feast-or-famine walk-in chaos.
- Drama-free shop culture. We mean it. Ask us about it in the interview.
- Your craft is respected. No one is rushing you into unsafe situations or pushing cuts that don't fit the dog.

- Competitive hourly base plus tips
- Performance-based raises
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off (full-time)
- Free monthly Scenthound membership for your own dog
- Leadership development and multi-location growth opportunities
- Birthday shoutouts, snacks, recognition — the small stuff that makes a workplace feel like home
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Provide safe, high-quality grooming using Scenthound's wellness-focused approach (Skin, Coat, Ears, Nails, Teeth). Mentor bathers and groomers-in-training. Help keep the schedule on track and the shop running smoothly. Maintain our cleanliness and safety standards.

- 6+ months of professional grooming experience (non-negotiable)
- Comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments
