Meet our groomers

At Woof Gang Bakery, deep love of animals is the foundation of what makes our groomers extraordinary. Each followed a calling and went into dog grooming to express their love, creativity, and genuine expertise with pups of all ages, sizes, and needs. From nail clipping and hand scissor techniques to removing matted hair to coloring and large-breed management, our groomers are the best in the field. Also, we have professional groomers available to help train those that might need a little help perfecting their grooming skills. Woof Gang Bakery's Grooming Apprenticeship Program allows you to embark on a rewarding career path. Through our four-to-five-month program, you will elevate your skills to the status of a professional pet groomer and have the opportunity to earn $50,000–80,000 a year. We are looking to hire a full-time pet grooming apprentice immediately.

Our groomers are committed to the health, well-being, and care of all pets. And now you can be too! So apply and love what we do every day!
