So i used to groom in a biug city but moved farther away than i had hoped (40 miles each way) so was forced to quit and now i work at a self serve place and i hate it. I dont feel challenged at all and i make no money plus only work part time when i was told i would be working close to full time.
So i interviewed with some nice older ladies who are starting a dog daycare, boarding and grooming place very close to my house and they loved me and i also had my freind go interview with them and they loved her too.
So they open mid June and we will start grooming again! Im super excited!!! I miss grooming so much, i mean sometimes its a total pain but its worth it to make the dogs look and feel better. I love making the customers happy and a total bonus is that Mister can come to work and be in day care all day ha ha ha.
I do have a few questionsa for you groomers....i will be paid as an independant contractor meaning i will have to put aside money for my taxes and i am essentially not even kn the pay roll at work. Opinions on this please!?! Have you done it, does it work for you, did you hate it or love it?
Also the business is brand spanking new so clientelle wont be built up yet so i was going to do bath dogs as well as groom dogs and work in the daycare and boarding too....what is a good window of time that it will take to build up?
Thanks!
I think i might be crazy for doing this but i think its a great opportunity and its not forever. I will be making a lot more money than i am now and i will be challenged on a daily basis which is important to me
