About Sparkle
We’re not your average dog groomer. Founded in 2022, Sparkle is where routine pet care meets small-box retail and social service. As an AKC S.A.F.E. Salon Certified provider, we uphold the highest standards of safety, accountability, and professionalism in the industry. Our membership-based model ensures a steady, predictable flow of repeat clients and promotes routine care. That lets you focus on what matters most: building lasting relationships with pets and their parents, and delivering high-quality grooming in a calm, wellness-focused environment.
What You’ll Do

• Style & Trim: Shave, trim, and style pet hair using proper scissoring techniques according to owner preferences, ensuring a safe and stress-free experience for the dog.
• Bathing & Hygiene: Clean, wash, shampoo, and condition each dog, and maintain overall hygiene by clipping nails, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears.
• Client Connection: Advise pet parents on at-home care and best practices, and naturally introduce membership options and retail products that support their dog’s routine care.
• Salon Excellence: Keep your workstation clean, safe, and pristine by sanitizing and sweeping before every pet and at the end of every shift.

• 2+ years of professional dog grooming experience
• Strong, hands-on knowledge of breed standards and breed-specific cuts
• Availability to work weekends (Saturdays and Sundays)
• Customer service experience and a genuine desire to connect with clients and their pets
• A collaborative, team-first mindset and a commitment to pet safety and consistency

• Pay of $20 – $25/hour based on experience
• A clear path to a full-time position for the right groomer, with health insurance subsidy, paid time off, and paid holidays at full-time status
• Ongoing professional development within a growing brand

At Sparkle, grooming is more than a job. It’s a meaningful way to care for others and help create healthier, happier homes in the communities we serve. If that mission speaks to you, we’d love to meet you.
