Stephanie K. Pet Care Provider in Smyrna, TN 37167

I was groomers assistant for two groomers at a busy  grooming salon in a vets office. I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments,  and with special needs dogs and cats. We mainly dealt with dogs and cats that had  been turned down from big chain grooming salons due to behavior or health reasons. My duties included safely holding nervous, aggressive, excited, special needs animals for groomers, pulling charts of clients scheduled for the day, walk dogs, brush out/ de-mat, trim nails and/or grind nails, remove ear hair if needed, flush out and clean ears, express anal glands, wash according to owners instructions, towel dry, cage dry, hand dry, final brush out  efore groomer finishes groom. I strive to keep an eye out for sores, injuries, infections, fleas, or odd behavior and notify owner immediately. I kept work area clean and organized, cages clean, soaps full, laundry kept up, I also kept inventory of supplies. Called owners to give pick up time if need be. Walked dogs if owner wasn't picking up within an hour, and put litter box in cage with cat. I can multi task while staying organized in a fast paced enviroment. I am able to safely handle and deal with most nervous, excited, aggressive, or special needs animals in a calm and patient manner. I know when to stop with an animal if its too excited or , so the animal or myself do not get injured.
