Are you a professional dog groomer looking for a salon that understands and respects dogs? Do you want to join a team that was voted the number one best grooming salon in the PNW by Seattle Times?
Hippie Hounds Grooming and Self-Wash is needing to add a part-time and/or full-time new groomer to our team.
What is being offered?:
- Start date can be effective immediately.
- Part-time or full-time available.
