Premier Pet Groomer Opportunity – Grow Your Career at Mayfair Animal Hospital

Are you an experienced pet groomer looking for more than just another grooming salon? Do you envision working in a facility that offers the support, resources, and growth potential to elevate your grooming career to the next level?

Mayfair Animal Hospital is seeking a highly skilled professional groomer to join our team and work alongside a beloved groomer with over 20 years of experience. Due to overwhelming demand, she is currently booking months in advance and is unable to accept new clients. We are looking for an accomplished groomer whose skills and professionalism can match the high standards our clients have come to expect.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

Veterinary Support at Your Fingertips

One of the most unique benefits of grooming within an animal hospital is access to veterinary support when needed. Challenging feline grooming appointments, severe matting cases, or pets that become overly stressed can be evaluated by our veterinary team. In appropriate cases, doctor‑assisted sedation may be available, allowing groomers to safely perform necessary lion cuts and other procedures that would be difficult or impossible with a fully awake patient.

A Grooming Facility Built for Success

Our grooming department is already equipped with:

• Three grooming tubs
• Three grooming tables
• Ample workspace for multiple groomers
• A large kennel facility for comfortable pre‑ and post‑grooming accommodations, including larger breed dogs
• Veterinary staff support when needed

Unlike many standalone grooming businesses where space is limited, our facility provides room for pets to be safely housed and monitored throughout the day.

The demand already exists. Our current groomer has built an exceptional reputation over two decades and maintains a loyal client base that continues to grow. New client requests regularly exceed our current capacity, creating an immediate opportunity for the right groomer to step into a busy schedule.

Opportunity for Growth and Expansion

For the right individual—or even an established grooming team—the possibilities extend far beyond simply filling appointment slots.

We have the space, client demand, and institutional support to significantly expand our grooming services. We envision the potential for grooming to become a premier destination and featured service within our community, rather than simply something Mayfair Animal Hospital happens to offer.

If you have entrepreneurial ambitions, this could be a rare opportunity to partner with an established veterinary hospital while building and growing your own grooming clientele and reputation.

Who We're Looking For

• Experienced professional groomers with advanced grooming skills
• Individuals comfortable handling a variety of breeds and coat types
• Groomers who take pride in quality, consistency, and customer service
• Candidates seeking long‑term career growth rather than simply another grooming position
• Independent, motivated professionals who want to help shape the future of a growing grooming department

If you're searching for the right environment to expand your growing grooming business or "grooming empire," Mayfair Animal Hospital offers resources that are difficult to find elsewhere: veterinary support, established demand, ample facility space, experienced mentorship, and room for future expansion.

We're not simply looking to hire a groomer—we're looking for the right partner to help build one of the area's premier grooming destinations.

This version is written to appeal both to individual groomers looking for stable employment and to ambitious groomers who may be interested in building or expanding a larger grooming operation.
