The Royal Paw Spa is a specialty dog grooming salon focusing on therapeutic care for skin maladies and pain relief. We are overbooked and understaffed. We are looking to add a top-notch dog washer and groomer’s assistant to our team. We are seeking a calm, caring and compassionate person who will help maintain the positive atmosphere of our spa.
Some experience with animals is a plus, but no prior grooming knowledge is expected. We are happy to train the right person.
A can-do attitude, enjoyment of working with other people and animals, and compassion for animals are a must. The ability to lift pets up to 60 lbs., work long hours on your feet, and tolerance to noise is also a part of this job.

1. A passion for animals
2. A positive attitude – able to shrug off irritation and not let it affect you
3. Must be comfortable with ALL breeds – including bully breeds and giant dogs
4. Must be willing to work with dogs of all ages - from 20 weeks to 20 years old
5. No animal allergies, product/scent sensitivities
6. Ability to stand for much of shift
7. Ability to work with hands much of shift – includes repetitive motions – may aggravate carpal tunnel or other inflammatory problems.
8. Patience and attention to detail a must - this is a tactile position
9. Willingness to get dirty. This is not a neat & tidy job
10. Stamina and compassion - this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.
You will get wet. You will get hairy. You will get smothered in puppy kisses and tail wags.
