Can you handle wet dogs, wagging tails, and the occasional shake-off that soaks your entire shirt-and still smile about it? If you're the type of person who thinks every pup deserves a spa day, we've got the hose, the shampoo, and the job for you.

📋 Reporting To:

General Manager

💪 What You Should Know:

  • This is an on-your-feet, hands-on, sometimes-sweaty kind of job.

  • Must be able to lift 50+ lbs (golden retrievers don't walk themselves to the tub).

  • Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required (pets don't take days off).

  • Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and, ahem, "accidents" is part of the gig.

  • Must be able to be on feet for the duration of your shift.

  • Must be able to stand, walk and climb stairs frequently

🐾 What You Bring to the Table:

  • You're a pet fanatic-muddy paws and all.

  • Experience working with animals is a plus but not required-we'll train the right human.

  • You bring calm vibes to even the wildest wash days.

  • Time management, patience, and a positive attitude are a must.

  • Reliable, coachable, and able to work independently or as part of the grooming team.

  • Comfortable using phones, computers, and facility software.

  • Familiarity with animal behavior, coat types, or grooming prep is a bonus.

🐕 What You'll Be Doing (Besides Dodging Shake-Offs and Flying Fur):

  • Bathing dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities-with kindness and care.

  • Blow drying, brushing, and prepping pups for their grooming appointments.

  • Trimming nails and brushing teeth (after training).

  • Assisting groomers with whatever they need-holding, fetching, fluffing.

  • Taking dogs outside for potty breaks.

  • Keeping the salon clean, sanitized, and guest ready.

  • Keeping towels washed, stacked, and ready to be immediately unstacked by post-bath zoomies.

  • Notifying the front desk when pups are fresh and ready to go home.

  • Helping with check-ins or phone calls when needed- teamwork makes the groom work.

  • Other duties as assigned

Ready to roll up your sleeves and give every pet a good scrub and a great experience? Bring your love for animals, your sense of humor, and your waterproof shoes. We'll bring the bubbles.

This position requires the availability to work between 8 am and 4 pm. Sunday and Monday availability is also preferred. Bathers should be comfortable bathing eight or more dogs daily.
