Job Summary
ChaCha's Dog Daycare & Grooming is a Sacramento institution with 25 years in the community. We have an immediate opening for an experienced, independent groomer — and you are walking into something most grooming positions can't offer: 36+ haircut appointments per week already on the books. No building a client base from scratch. No slow ramp-up. Immediate income from day one.

You'll work alongside a bather/prep assistant who handles bath, blowdry, and setup so you can focus on the cut. Our clients are loyal, long-term, and ready to meet you.
We start with a paid working interview. Bring your tools — we'll bring the dogs.

This is not a training position. We are looking for an experienced groomer who can work independently across all breeds and styles from day one.



Responsibilities
  • Brush and detangle or remove matted fur
  • Bathe dogs and dry coat
  • Execute a variety of clipping techniques and style requests
  • Examine for parasites or other skin conditions
  • Trim nails
  • Ensure the safety of dogs at all times
  • Adhere to strict sanitary and cleaning procedures
  • Communicate effectively and compassionately with pet owners

Qualifications
  • Two years experience as a dog grooming technician or a similar role
  • Comfortable working with anxious animals
  • Ability to stand for long periods and lift large dogs over 60 pounds
  • Willingness to learn new techniques and participate in continuing education
  • Able to communicate effectively with coworkers and dog owners
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Bathing and clipping hair of all dog breeds
  • Nail trimming, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning
  • Basic daily and weekly cleaning of the grooming station/spa
  • Keep records of grooming treatments and other updates
  • Studies proportions of dogs to determine the most appropriate cutting pattern to achieve the desired style
  • Demonstrates accuracy and thoroughness while completing work promptly
  • Responds promptly to customer needs, solicits customer feedback to improve service, and responds to requests for service and assistance
  • Observes safety and security procedures and uses equipment and materials properly
