About The Position

The Behaviors of Our Mary Poppins Groomer You send a same-day text with a cute photo and short update You write quick notes after each groom (because no one remembers everything) You confirm the next day’s appointments ahead of time If someone cancels, you help offer the next available spot and work to fill the opening When a cancellation can’t be filled, you use the time productively You maintain a calm, predictable grooming flow You stick to your set schedule so clients always know when you’re available You notice when a regular hasn’t been in and gently reach out What Makes This Job Different (and Magical) Your own private grooming room Groom one dog at a time, start to finish A relationship-based grooming environment Autonomy, trust, and professional judgment are expected When the Magic Isn’t the Right Fit This role is not a match for groomers who: Feel uncomfortable being the only groomer on site during their shift Whose daily focus is grooming, rather than rebooking, retention, or long-term client relationships Prefer client communication, complaints, or concerns to be handled by management Are accustomed to having dogs moved in and out by a receptionist, rather than handling transitions themselves Assume open time will be filled by reception, rather than participating in follow-ups, waitlist outreach, prep, or care tasks Commute more than 30 minutes which could impact punctuality, energy, or schedule consistency This role is designed for groomers who enjoy ownership, autonomy, and direct client relationships.
