  • Properly measure and dilute all bathing products to company standards
  • Empty, rinse, and sanitize diluted product bottles daily
  • 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
  • Follow pet identification procedures (groom cards, name bands, etc.)

What We're Looking For

  • We are seeking someone who is:
  • 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

You must be able to:

  • Lift up to 60 lbs
