About us:
At Grooming Arts Northwest, excellence isn't optional — it's our standard. Led by a Master Groomer, our business is built on a foundation of high-level skill, artistry, and professionalism. All of our groomers are expected to work toward Master Certification, and we actively support this journey by providing financial assistance and expert guidance. However, your growth is ultimately in your hands. We empower our team members to take ownership of their development and pursue mastery with intention and commitment.
​
While we offer a supportive environment and ongoing resources for experienced groomers to sharpen their skills, we are not a grooming school and do not offer apprenticeships at this time.

If you're ready to grow, perform, and be part of a team that values true excellence in grooming, we’d love to hear from you.

At Grooming Arts Northwest, your voice matters. Kindness is our guiding principle, and we strive to ensure that every team member feels valued and appreciated. Join us in shaping the future of pet grooming, one happy tail at a time.
What Do We Offer?
You'll have the luxury of your own private room with a very manageable workload. We also offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package which includes access to medical and dental insurance, paid vacation, retirement benefits, and an educational stipend, sharpening allowance, yearly and holiday bonuses, and more.
​
Becoming a certified Master Groomer is an integral part of our grooming team's journey, and we provide some guidance and financial support for this certification. While we don't offer formal training programs, you'll join a close-knit community of dedicated groomers, each working independently but united in their pursuit of excellence.
