Dog and cat grooming is a wonderfully flexible career. You can learn it to use as a profitable side gig, or you can make it your full time profession. There are opportunities for pet groomers to work in a variety of facilities. Big national chains always need groomers. Local grooming salons are another option. Your local animal shelter or rescue society may also hire groomers. If you dream of starting your own business, pet grooming is the ideal career for that. You can operate out of your home, start a mobile grooming service, or open a salon.
