Verdict

Hair of the Dog Grooming is a verified Courtenay business established in 2010 with an official site, named owners and consistent directory listings, and business and location both match. The absence of a jobs listing on their own site is neutral for a small shop. No fraud flags fired and the pet groomer duties and $19.50/hr fit the trade exactly.
