Pet Stylist Intern

Get your feet wet (pun intended!) with a new career in the recession-proof, pandemic-proof industry of pet care. Pet care endures all forms of economic stress. Regardless of all circumstances, people will care for their pets! This offers the right candidate the best opportunity for growth, advancement, and immense earning potential. Yes, we will fully train the right candidate who may or may not have previous experience. What We Do Since our inception in 2014, we have catered to pups of all sizes, shapes, and ages. We pride ourselves on working with nervous pets, rescued pups, and any other hard-knock story with compassion and consideration for the pet’s unique energy and needs. Many of our customers have been with us the entire time we’ve been open, and we enjoy serving the community and creating career opportunities. We specialize in both in-store and mobile/curbside grooming options. We provide comprehensive, affordable options in both areas of our business. Our model hinges on pillars of dependability, consistency, compassion, environmental care, and respect for our four-legged and two-legged customers as well as each other. We are unconventional and resourceful, and we expect our team members to embrace that culture as well. What We Need The right candidate will meet all of the following pretty closely: A complete application. Yes, there are a lot of components. But, incomplete applications will be discarded. You do not need previous experience for this position. Therefore, it is imperative to have a masterful student’s mindset where you are receptive to learning and open to doing new things seamlessly. You need above-average attention to detail. If you decide to apply, please place the word “WOOF” at the top of your cover letter. You need to be self-motivated, zoned-in focus on the task at hand, and good at understanding what comes next in a project without constant guidance. Loving pets and kindness for people are foundational pieces. Notice that both are required. Working with pets is not for people who don’t like other people. Each pet is attached to a person who decides things for that pet. Responsibility and accountability are a must. If you have a hard time with being consistent, punctual, and reliable, this is not the role for you. Our team commits to a maximum of one unexpected absence per quarter. Clean driving record, valid driver’s license and some form of reliable transportation.
