We offer a variety of shifts that does include weekend and evening work, making this an ideal opportunity for a freelance groom seeking regular, reliable and rewarding work in a positive environment. If you are an experienced, enthusiastic groom who takes pride in delivering outstanding care, we would be delighted to hear from you!
