Job description

Dog Over Breed is not your average dog daycare. We are a specialized dog hotel in Concord, CA, focusing heavily on dog behavior, socialization, and rehabilitation. We proudly dedicate some kennel space to rescue/shelter, meaning we regularly welcome dogs from complex and difficult backgrounds. We operate with highly structured, franchise-level operational procedures to ensure absolute clarity, maintain safety, and minimize liability for everyone on our team. We are looking for a dedicated, tough-but-compassionate professional who knows how to read dogs and manage a pack.

The Role This is a hybrid position that demands top-tier grooming skills, a deep understanding of dog behavior, and strict adherence to facility protocols.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Professional Grooming & Spa Services:
    • Perform full haircuts and styling on dogs of all sizes, coat types, and temperaments.
    • Bathe any size dog and meticulously brush the coat of any dog.
    • Trim nails, clean teeth, and clean ears.
    • Meet high standards in administering medication and following allergy protocols.
  • Grooming Room Management:
    • Maintain pristine grooming room standards by moving equipment to clean floors, vacuuming, mopping, and removing all hair.
    • Sanitize crates and tables, clean windows, and remove hair from blowers.
    • Keep all equipment meticulously organized: nail tools together, brushes and combs together, scissors together, clippers together, blades and attachments together, and cleaning supplies together.
  • Behavior & Pack Management:
    • Maintain control of a large group of open-play dogs.
    • Understanding, recognizing, and addressing Canine Body Language and signs of stress and escalating behaviors.
    • Quickly address behavioral issues without the use of force or physical punishment.
    • Continuously walk the room to reward positive behaviors and re-direct escalated play.
  • Facility Sanitation:
    • Complete daily and weekly cleaning assignments to maintain a safe, clean play environment.
    • Address any kennels and floor with urine, poop particles, or stains.
    • Follow proper protocols with pet safe cleaning solutions.

What We Are Looking For:

  • Grooming Expertise: Demonstrable professional experience providing full-service dog grooming, including haircuts. (Please be prepared to provide a portfolio or examples of your grooming work).
  • Behavioral Experience: Proven experience handling difficult, reactive, or unsocialized dogs safely and compassionately.
  • Physical Capability: Ability to spend up to 100% of work time standing and must be able to lift at least 40 pounds.
  • Availability: Ability to work flexible day and hours, including holidays and weekends.
  • Attitude: Honest, compassionate, strive to always be open and not pass judgment.

We are also offering 50% commission to groomers (no hourly pay, only commission).

This is a Part-Time opportunity to grow into Full-Time.
