Job description

Experienced Dog & Cat Groomer – Part-Time | Southern Illinois.

Four Pretty Paws Mobile Pet Spa.

Work 3 Days a Week. Groom One-on-One. Leave the Salon Chaos Behind.

Four Pretty Paws Mobile Pet Spa is growing in Southern Illinois, and we're looking for an experienced dog AND cat groomer to join our team.

This is a unique part-time, 30-hour-per-week position with a consistent three-day schedule:

Monday | Tuesday | Saturday.

Three 10-hour days per week.

If you're an experienced groomer who wants to earn a great income while working fewer days each week, this could be a fantastic opportunity.

No mobile grooming experience is required. We'll train you on everything you need to make a successful transition to mobile grooming.

Why Groomers Love Four Pretty Paws:

• Work just 3 days per week with a consistent schedule.
• Groom dogs and cats one-on-one in a calm environment.
• Work from a fully equipped, state-of-the-art mobile grooming van provided by us.
• No phone calls or scheduling — our office team handles it.
• Established routes with loyal, repeat clients.
• Work independently while still having the support of an experienced grooming and office team.
• Premium grooming equipment and supplies provided.
• Spend more time doing what you love: grooming and caring for pets.

A Different Kind of Grooming Day:

Instead of working in a crowded salon with multiple pets, ringing phones, interruptions and competing demands, you'll work one-on-one with each pet right outside the client's home.

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.

We're Specifically Looking for a Dog AND Cat Groomer:

Cat grooming is an important part of this Southern Illinois position.

The right candidate must be comfortable and experienced grooming both dogs and cats and understand the different handling, temperament and grooming needs of feline clients.

If you're an experienced cat groomer, we want to hear from you.

Requirements:

• Professional experience grooming both dogs AND cats.
• Minimum 2+ years of professional grooming experience; 3+ years preferred.
• Completed coursework at a certified grooming academy.
• Available to work Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays.
• Comfortable working three approximately 10-hour days per week.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
• Clean criminal background.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.
• Excellent communication and customer-service skills.
• Genuine love for animals and pride in the quality of your work.

Benefits & Perks:

We believe great groomers are skilled professionals and deserve to be treated that way.

• Competitive compensation based on experience and production.
• Company-provided mobile grooming van.
• Company-funded Retirement Savings Plan.
• Paid Time Off.
• Free blade and shear sharpening.
• Professional training and seminar reimbursement.
• $60 monthly chiropractic and/or massage allowance.
• Two to four St Louis sports team (Blues, Cardinals, STL City, Battlehawks) tickets annually.
• Opportunities for career advancement.
• Support from an established office and grooming leadership team.

Benefit eligibility may vary based on part-time status and hours worked.

Ready for a 3-Day Grooming Week?:

If you're an experienced dog and cat groomer who would love the opportunity to work three days a week, groom one-on-one, and be part of a growing mobile grooming team we'd love to talk.
