As a dog bather, your duties focus on washing dogs in a pet grooming facility, animal spa, or boarding venue. In this job, you wash dogs using pet cleaning products, blow dry and then brush their fur, and provide care until their owner picks them up. Some bathers groom dogs themselves, while others focus on washing services and leave other professionals to post-bath grooming tasks. Depending on where you work, you may have additional responsibilities, such as offering nail trim services or tooth cleaning. In addition to pet facilities, dog bathers can work in pet stores or boarding kennels.
