Dog Groomer

Hello dog lovers! The time has come that Pawfectly is ready to expand and bring another dog groomer into the team to pamper our very special four legged friends.

After opening two years ago, I am so lucky to be in a position where Pawfectly is rapidly growing. I refuse to let the quality of the service provided, or time spent with each dog decline. And so, to make Pawfectly an even better spa that can continue to serve my loyal clients for many years to come, an animal loving dog groomer who has experience working with nervous dogs would be a ‘pawfect’ addition.

Some of my clients have come to me from a puppy, and therefore love every minute of their pamper as they have been looked after and trained to understand grooming from the beginning. However, I do work with a lot of pets that have had a negative grooming experience previously elsewhere and are therefore very anxious in multiple ways. When working with this, we must always have an abundance of patience, love and understanding of animal behaviour to give each pet the highest level of service they deserve. The Pawfectly Promise will always be to strive to give each dog a relaxing, enjoyable & stress free spa day.

Pawfectly is very different to other dog grooming facilities in the way we operate. We are one to one and tailor each pamper to a specific dogs needs and behaviour. Full training will be provided but the ideal candidate will have experience working with and grooming severely anxious dogs whilst gently rehabilitating, retraining and working on their anxieties so that they can not only have, in time, have a stress free groom, but can learn to enjoy pampering again. Extensive knowledge of canine behaviour is ideal.

Duties will be discussed with applicants individual to their skill set and level of experience

If you feel you have the qualities to join me on Pawfectly’s journey, please apply with a CV and covering letter. If your aspirations are in line with the Pawfectly promise and ethos, I would be delighted to read some further details describing this in your covering letter.

The application process will be extensive as my clients, and their pets, deserve only the very best from Pawfectly.

Initially, this role will be part time 2 days a week whilst training is underway. Likely to be Wednesdays and Sundays. Once training is completed, I will be looking to offer a full time position in the early summer.
