We are growing and looking to add a new team member!
We are currently hiring for a bather/kennel tech. Perfect entry level position for someone looking to have a career in the pet care industry! We are a well established salon that is expanding to include boarding and daycare. Our ideal candidate would be an animal lover first and foremost. This job has to be a passion! Experience a plus but not required willing to train the right person! Must be able to lift upwards of 50lbs. Be on your feet 8 hrs a day. Here is where I try to talk you out of applying! YES! WE PLAY WITH PUPPIES!!! That is such a small part of what we are really doing in a day! Can’t be afraid of ANY type of bodily excrement an animal can have and the odors that go with them! Must know or be willing to learn body language, scratches are almost a daily occurrence and bites can happen if proper attention is not taken ! Must love to clean and disinfect because that is literally the most of your day! Must not be afraid of dog hair—-LOTS OF IT—EVERYWHERE! Must not be afraid of getting soggy wet! (Wet dogs shake lol) This is HARD, physical work! It is also some of the most rewarding work out there in my opinion. Must be detail oriented, able to follow instructions to the letter, dependable, hard working and willing to learn and take constructive criticism. Here is your first test…do not reply to this post, do not PM this page. CALL, do not text 812-381-0032. Only those that follow instructions well will be considered for this position!

One thing people don’t always realize about grooming?

Sometimes the biggest accomplishment isn’t the haircut.
It’s building trust.

Not every dog walks into the salon confident and relaxed. Some are nervous about dryers. Some hate having their feet touched. Some had a bad experience somewhere else. Some are just puppies trying to figure out the world.

So a lot of grooming is actually about reading body language and helping dogs feel safe.

Sometimes that means slowing down.
Taking breaks.
Talking softly.
Changing our approach.
Or deciding that emotional comfort matters more than getting a “perfect” haircut that day.

Because the goal isn’t just getting through the appointment.
The goal is helping your dog learn that grooming doesn’t have to be scary.
And honestly, owners who consistently bring nervous dogs in — even when it’s hard — are doing something really important. Repeated calm experiences help dogs build confidence over time.

That patience and consistency truly matters more than you know. 🐶💕

Sometimes groomers notice health changes before anyone else does.

And honestly, that’s not because owners aren’t paying attention. Life is busy. You see your dog every single day, so tiny changes can happen gradually without standing out right away.

But groomers? We’re seeing and feeling your dog up close during every appointment.

That means sometimes we notice things like new lumps, irritated skin, ear infections starting, changes in mobility, sore spots, or even tics hiding under all that fluff.

There have been so many times I’ve gently mentioned something to an owner and they’ve said,
“Oh wow… I hadn’t even noticed that.”

And that’s exactly why routine grooming matters so much.
It’s not just about looking cute after an appointment. It’s another set of caring eyes on your dog’s health and comfort.

Honestly, dogs with owners who keep up with regular grooming appointments are often the ones who get little issues caught earlier — and that can make such a big difference long term. 🐾

We groom a lot of litter mates but, it’s not often we have them in on the same day so we had to get a picture of Cooper and Myles together while we had them!!
