About The Position

At CityVet Lone Tree, we believe grooming is more than making pets look great; it plays an important role in their health and wellbeing. We're looking for a compassionate, experienced groomer who wants to work alongside an incredible veterinary team that values quality over quantity. You'll never feel like you're working in a grooming factory. Instead, you'll have veterinary support when medical concerns arise, clients who value quality grooming, a team that communicates and works together, and the freedom to build lasting relationships with your clients. We believe every pet deserves a low-stress experience, and every groomer deserves a workplace that appreciates their craft. At CityVet, we believe healthy pets start with happy people. It is important that our vet-led clinics are filled with smiling faces and compassionate pet people, and each of our employees play a vital role in creating the positive vibe felt at our offices. Starting a career at CityVet means growing in a fun, people-first environment where the future of our employees is just as important as the future of our business. CityVet is looking for Pet Groomers to join our team! At CityVet, we know our team of happy people is as unique and diverse as the pets we care for. We recruit and promote CityVet team members based on their abilities and accomplishments and create a welcoming environment for all.
