DOG GROOMERS “For many people, their pet is just another member of the family,” says Rheya Zimmerman, an experienced dog groomer with more than twenty years in the industry. “This is especially true for their dogs.” Rheya is right. According to researcher Emma Powers, “The last fifty years have seen dogs increasingly drawn into the home as family members.” She even writes that owners describe their dogs as “furry children” to emphasize “the time spent caring for dogs.” Considering the shared history of dogs and humans and the many ways that we have helped each other grow and survive as a species, it’s really not all that surprising they’ve finally been assigned significant roles as members of the family!

Working as a dog groomer is a great career for people who like to be their own boss and have flexible work hours.
