Job Description

Location: Dawson Creek, BC

Job Type: Full-time or Part-time (minimum 3 days per week)

About Us

Perfect Pets is a growing grooming salon with a reputation for quality, care, and a fun, supportive environment. We believe grooming should be just as enjoyable for our team as it is for the pets we serve. Our shop offers flexibility, a strong client base, and a commission-based pay structure that rewards skill, experience, and dedication.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a talented Dog Groomer to join our team. The ideal candidate has grooming experience or formal training (certificate, apprenticeship, or professional background). If you're newer but passionate about a grooming career, we're open to training the right candidate.

This is a commission-based position the more you put in, the more you earn. You'll also keep 100% of your tips.

What You'll Do

Provide full grooming services: bathing, brushing, trimming, clipping, scissoring, nail care, and finishing. Work with a variety of dog breeds (and cats, if interested). Communicate with clients to understand grooming requests and maintain excellent customer service. Maintain a clean, safe, and stress-free environment for pets. Follow health and safety standards for both animals and staff.

What We're Looking For

Experience as a Dog Groomer OR completion of grooming school/apprenticeship (preferred). Strong animal handling skills and a genuine love for pets. Good communication and teamwork skills. Ability to work independently and manage your schedule. Reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about high-quality grooming. Quality over quantity: Unlike big corporate salons, we don't expect you to push through 8-10 dogs a day. Our focus is on giving pets the best care possible. We generally work with a 4-dog minimum per day, and if you're comfortable taking on more, great if not, that's fine too.

Perks & Benefits

Commission-based pay (40%-55%, depending on skill and tenure). 100% of your tips go straight to you. Flexible schedule: choose your days (minimum 3 days per week). All statutory holidays off plus two weeks off at Christmas. Supportive team environment and opportunities to grow into a lead groomer role. Ability to specialize in certain breeds or services (including cat grooming, if desired).
