Dog Roar

We're hiring

Looking for the best groomer in Chicago.

Dog Roar is opening a grooming line on every Board & Train pickup day, and we're hiring a full-time master groomer to run it. The best work, every breed, every time. If that's you, we want to talk.

Open role

Master Groomer

Franklin Park facility. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with Ray and the training side. Volume comes from training graduates getting their pickup-day grooming, plus walk-in and standalone bookings.

What you'll do

  • Bath, brush, blow-dry, ear clean, nail trim, full breed-appropriate cuts.
  • Grooming on every Board & Train pickup day so dogs go home looking great.
  • Standalone walk-in bookings for the broader client base.
  • Working with every breed, size, and temperament. Some of our dogs come in with behavior history; you and Ray work as a team to keep grooming day calm.

What we're looking for

  • Real experience. Years on the table, not just a certificate.
  • Quiet, calm, confident with every kind of dog, including the nervous ones.
  • Work you're proud of. Send pictures.
  • Reliable and professional. The clients are paying premium; the work has to match.

What we offer

  • Steady built-in volume from the training side. You won't be hunting for clients.
  • Modern facility with the right tools. We invest in the work.
  • Pay reflects the quality. We pay for the best, not the average.
  • Direct relationship with Ray. No corporate layers.

Apply

Tell us who you are, what you've done, and why you'd want to work here. The best groomer wins, not the polished resume.

Availability

Ray personally reviews every application. You'll hear back even if it's not the right fit.
