Groom Tech (Dog Grooming) in Brentwood, Missouri at Good Clean Dog

Who We Are:

Good Clean Dog is a new, industry-disrupting concept in the pet grooming space that aims to provide the best experience for both our clients and our employees. Led by industry experts with over 30 years of collective experience in grooming and pet services, this new company is redefining how clients who value safety and convenience access grooming services for their pets. Similarly, we will set a new standard for how professionals in the industry are viewed and treated.

As a Groom Tech you play a vital role in our business, providing excellent service and ensuring every pup has a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. Much like the partnership between a nurse practitioner and a doctor, our Groom Techs manage some preparation, hands-on support to bathers, and many routine or lower-complexity services. This allows our Groomicians to focus their expertise on the more advanced grooming services that require their specialized skill.

Each Groom Tech's primary responsibility is completing services on short-coated and double-coated dogs. The bathing team washes and dries, so the Groom Tech can focus on de-shedding, brushing, and trimming. Excellent Finish work (such as trimming feet, sanitary areas, faces, outline trims) and attention to detail is vital to the Groom Tech’s position. Groom techs may assist in bathing, drying, nail trimming, and ear cleaning as needed. This role allows Groom Techs to grow their grooming skills as an essential part of our team-based approach to providing the best grooming experience for both pets and their parents.

If you love working with animals, take pride in providing excellent care, and want to grow in the grooming industry, this may be the perfect role for you. Whether you’re looking to build a career in grooming or simply want to be part of an innovative, supportive environment, we want to meet you.
