About The Position

Vanity Fur is a mobile pet grooming company that provides SAFE & COMFORTABLE pet grooming. Groomers can really enjoy working for themselves but not by themselves. We are very team oriented and when someone has a question the entire team jumps in to help. Our vans are also built with safety and comfort in mind, not only the largest and most senior dog but the groomer as well, no lifting heavy dogs. Our vans have ramps, so no jumping either. The grooming table lowers all the way to the floor of the van! Our tubs open up so the dog simply walks into the tub with ease and from there we have a bathing system to get the bath complete in a fraction of the time. Our high velocity and powerful dual motor dryers will get that dense coat dry quickly. You can only get that at Vanity Fur. We keep our vehicles in good working repair so there is minimal downtime, if any. Our groomers have a better experience because the pets have a better experience. The mobile environment is so different from any shop environment. The dog does not have to go in a car ride first, this is where anxiety begins. Then the dog doesn’t have to feed on the anxiety of other dogs in earshot. The groomer never has to stop to intake another customer or to answer a phone. All of the groomer’s attention is on 1 dog at a time. You will always know your schedule weeks and even months in advance since our clientele recurs every 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks. Enjoy flexibility with your schedule so you can still enjoy your personal life too. The team gets together for BBQ’s and holiday time to connect and have fun. We love to laugh, work hard, but always while having fun.
