Dog Groomer - Norwalk, CT

Experienced DOG groomer needed! No cats! Amazing opportunity for an experienced groomer! Join our team to support our loyal clients and adorable patients!

The ideal candidate is well-versed in grooming techniques and cuts for all breeds of dogs and has excellent client service skills. Current industry experience is required, we have an established client base, but the sky is the limit for growth. 

Strawberry Hill Groom and Board, affiliated with Strawberry Hill Animal Hospital, was established in 1987 and has served the dogs in the Norwalk area for the past 37 years.  We have a loyal existing client base, and often book them out for the entire year ahead so they can reserve their slots in a regular grooming schedule.  Our groomer has a dedicated room with a window looking out on the bank of cages housing the dogs being groomed.  Bathing is done in our Dog Wash with raised platforms for easier bathing.

This is a full-time commission-based position with a flexible schedule – though at least one Saturday shift per month may be required. Currently, our groomer works one Saturday per month, and those are often coveted slots
