  • Monitor product expiration dates and manage inventory needs

Operational Excellence

  • Complete baths efficiently and on schedule
  • Adhere to pricing guidelines and prior service history
  • Maintain tools and bathing equipment

  • Safety-focused and gentle in handling
  • Highly reliable and punctual
  • Organized and strong in time management
  • Detail-oriented with documentation
  • Comfortable communicating with pet parents
  • Physically capable and comfortable in a wet, fast-paced environment
