You'll typically groom 4–6 pets per day, travel between appointments in your company-provided mobile grooming spa, and develop relationships with clients who value the convenience and personalized care we provide. Our office team takes care of booking appointments, client calls, scheduling and route logistics so you can concentrate on delivering an exceptional groom. Many members of our team transitioned from traditional salons and discovered how much they enjoy the independence and one-on-one environment of mobile grooming.
