1. Accepting these Terms
These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern how you use groomerhires.com (“GroomerHires,” “we,” “us”).
By looking through the site, searching for grooming or pet care jobs, or buying a job ad, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree with them, please stop using GroomerHires.
Buying a job ad, or applying for a job through GroomerHires, requires you to be 18 or older.
2. The role GroomerHires plays, and its limits
GroomerHires lists pet grooming and pet care jobs, including dog, cat, mobile and show groomers, bathers, grooming assistants and apprentices, salon managers and receptionists, grooming instructors, kennel and daycare attendants, pet resort managers, dog trainers, dog walkers and pet sitters. GroomerHires is not a grooming salon, pet care business, grooming school, certifying association, veterinary practice or government agency; it does not groom, board or care for animals, does not certify, license or grade anyone, and does not give legal, veterinary, employment or other professional advice to employers, job seekers or anyone else.
Our role is limited to publishing grooming and pet care job ads and career information.
A person hired through an ad is employed by that employer and not by GroomerHires; we are not a recruiting firm, temp agency or placement service, and we are not involved in the relationship between an employer and its staff.
We do not screen, interview, check references for or vouch for employers or applicants, and we make no promise that an ad will lead to a hire or that an application will lead to a job offer.
3. Where the job ads on GroomerHires come from
Jobs reach GroomerHires by two routes: an employer buys and submits the ad, or we gather it from a public jobs page the employer operates.
Either way, the employer and not GroomerHires is responsible for whether the duties, pay, commission terms, experience requirements and every other detail are accurate.
A salon, daycare or other pet business may edit or fill a gathered job on its own website before our version catches up.
Pressing Apply takes you off GroomerHires to an application page run by the employer, and from that point the employer's own terms and privacy policy govern.
4. Buying a job ad
- Each paid job ad is a one-time charge at the price listed on our pricing page and is not renewed unless you decide to buy another.
- The only recurring charges are the Growth and Brand slot plans. We arrange each plan directly with you, bill it every month, and you can cancel it at any time.
- All card payments to GroomerHires are processed by Stripe, and your full card number is never sent through or stored on our servers.
- An ad is published once checkout is complete, stays up for 30 days, and is then taken down automatically.
- Refund requests are dealt with under our Refund Policy.
- When you post, you confirm that the grooming or pet care job exists and is open now, that the ad is truthful and lawful, and that it complies with every employment law that applies, anti-discrimination law included, along with any state or local pay transparency requirement for the position.
- We may decline, edit or take down an ad if we have good reason to believe it is a scam, misleading, unlawfully discriminatory, illegal, placed under the wrong role, or otherwise in breach of these Terms. Ads taken down for a breach of these Terms are not refunded.
5. Rules for using the grooming and pet care job board
Everyone who uses GroomerHires, whether employer, job seeker or visitor, agrees not to:
- publish anything untrue, misleading or fraudulent, or use an ad to promote anything other than a real grooming or pet care job;
- scrape, copy or bulk-download job ads or other content from GroomerHires to publish elsewhere unless we have agreed to it in writing first;
- interfere with GroomerHires, test or access systems or data you are not authorized to use, or try to publish an ad without paying for it;
- send spam or unwanted promotions through GroomerHires;
- impersonate another person, claim to act for a salon, kennel or other business you do not represent, or give a false picture of your connection to an employer.
6. Career guides and pay pages are general information only
The career guides, pay pages and permit and licensing pages on GroomerHires give general background on working in pet grooming and pet care.
None of it is legal, tax, veterinary, employment or other professional advice, and it may not yet reflect recent changes to state or local rules for grooming, boarding or daycare businesses, or to certification programs.
Pay numbers are estimates based on the sources cited and do not predict what any particular employer will offer.
Before you rely on anything about a permit, facility license or certification, confirm it with the agency or organization that issues it.
