Overview

Dirty Dog is looking for an experienced, professional Dog Groomer to join our team. We are not a corporate chain. We are a locally owned Austin business that has been caring for dogs for over 20 years, with a strong focus on safety, enrichment, and creating a positive experience for both dogs and their people.

This is a great opportunity for a skilled groomer who wants consistent work, supportive teammates, and a shop culture that truly values quality over speed.

What You’ll Do

Perform full grooming services including bathing, brushing, haircuts, and nail trims
Ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of every dog in your care
Communicate clearly with pet parents about grooming requests and expectations
Maintain a clean, organized, and professional grooming space
Observe and report any health or behavioral concerns
Provide friendly, helpful customer service

What We’re Looking For

At least 2 years of professional dog grooming experience required (you’ve been paid to complete full grooms independently)
Knowledge of breed-specific grooming techniques
Confident, calm animal handling skills
Strong attention to detail and ability to work efficiently
Ability to safely lift and handle dogs when needed
A positive, team-oriented attitude

Compensation & Opportunity

Our groomers earn based on productivity and client demand. In 2025, our groomers made between $60,000 (part-time) and $130,000+ (full-time) and are on track to meet or exceed that this year.

We provide a steady client base, supportive management, and an environment where groomers can build long-term relationships with their clients.

If you’re looking for a place where you can do great work, feel respected, and enjoy coming to work each day, we’d love to hear from you.
