Full-Time Pet Groomer

About The Pets Workshop

The Pets Workshop is a Singapore pet grooming chain with 4 outlets island-wide. We groom to a standard, not to a clock — our team includes master-groomer-credentialled staff, and we run our own training academy. We are looking for groomers who care about the craft and want to keep getting better at it.

The Role

Perform routine care — nail trimming, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, paw pad and sanitary trims

Assess coat and skin condition at intake, and flag health concerns (lumps, wounds, parasites, skin issues) to the owner and to management

Handle pets safely and calmly, including anxious, senior, or uncooperative animals

Consult with owners on styling, coat maintenance, and home care between visits

Keep accurate service records and grooming notes in our system
