Pet Groomer
Your morning begins with four back-to-back appointments at your grooming salon — a full groom for a Shih Tzu (bath, blow-dry, scissor trim, nail clip, ear cleaning), followed by a Golden Retriever de-shedding treatment using a high-velocity dryer and deshedding rake. Afternoons involve setting up the schedule for home grooming visits, advising a new dog owner on breed-appropriate coat maintenance, and restocking grooming supplies for the week.
