We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Dog Cleaner to join our team. As a Dog Cleaner, you will be responsible for ensuring the cleanliness, hygiene, and overall well-being of dogs in our care. This role involves bathing, brushing, drying, and sometimes trimming dogs’ fur, as well as cleaning their ears, clipping nails, and checking for any signs of health issues. You will work closely with pet owners, veterinarians, and other staff to provide the highest standard of care for each animal. Attention to detail, patience, and a genuine love for animals are essential qualities for this position. You will also be responsible for maintaining a clean and safe working environment, including sanitizing grooming tools and cleaning up after each session. The ideal candidate should be comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Previous experience in dog grooming or animal care is preferred but not required, as training will be provided.
