STEP INTO PET GROOMING CAREER:
Embark on your grooming journey with us as a Groomer Trainee! As part of our Grooming Salon team, you'll establish personal bonds with clients during their visits, becoming an integral part of their families. Understanding the unique styles and personas of their pets, you'll offer a tailored and fashionable experience! From the initial shampoo to the final primped walk home, the pride in the services you provide will reflect every step of the way!
SUIT UP FOR SUCCESS:
You would be bringing in the dedication and we offer extensive training in return. Our program is designed to pave your path to success.
- Stage 1 - Bather: Commence your grooming education with hands-on interaction with our diverse range of pets. Safety certification is our paramount concern, as these pets become part of our family during their salon stay. Working under salon leaders, your bather training will introduce you to various dog breeds and their suitable styling. Your responsibilities will include bathing pets, trimming nails and assisting other groomers during the pet's salon stay.
- Stage 2 - Grooming Academy: After gaining practical experience, a paid spot at our Grooming Academy awaits you! Immerse yourself in a 4-week training period in a classroom setting, learning directly from our expert Academy Trainers. Priming up your knowledge on breed-specific styling and care techniques, you'll also familiarize yourself with various grooming tools and clippers. An added attraction at graduation - a free tool kit (valued at over $600!)
- Stage 3 - Groomer Trainee: Equipped with your newly acquired knowledge and your shiny new tool kit, you'll return to our salon. Under the direction of experienced groomers, you'll start grooming dogs of various sizes and breeds. To ensure you possess comprehensive experience and familiarity with breed diversity, our goal stands at grooming 200 dogs.
- Stage 4 - Pet Stylist in Training: Now, it's time to fine-tune your skills. Cultivate relationships with your clientele, offer style inputs, suggest additional services, and partake in the satisfaction that comes when clients pick up their newly groomed pets. Moreover, that shiny, free tool kit is a definite perk!
THE FEEL-GOOD FACTOR:
While we've attempted wrapping up job responsibilities and training steps above, some of the most fulfilling facets of working at PetSmart extend beyond job descriptions.
Imagine the thrill of sprucing up Mickey for his strut out of the salon or seeing Walter's tail wag excitedly during his bath, or witnessing Sadie's joy post teeth cleaning! Picture Gizmo looking his holiday best for the annual photoshoot. (Fun Fact: Numerous groomers receive holiday cards from their clients!)
It's a series of such minute yet significant acts that lead to massive positive changes in pets' lives.
Employment at PetSmart is beyond just a job; it's assimilation into a vibrant, pet-loving community.
Go ahead and apply to experience a career that reciprocates your passion with immense satisfaction!
