Requirements: Professional appearance, strong work ethic, dependability, and trustworthiness. You should work well with others and be ready to WORK & have FUN every day! 

Days/shifts are flexible and can be discussed. This is a great opportunity to establish a loyal client base for long-term stability.

Responsibilities include check-in, bathing, nail trims, ear cleaning, special bathing treatments, brushing, de-matting, and drying our wonderful clients' pets.
