Responsibilities may include assisting customers, stocking shelves, cleaning animal habitats, and caring for pets.

To thrive as a Part Time Pet Store employee, you need strong customer service skills, basic knowledge of pet care, and the ability to handle transactions, typically supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with point-of-sale (POS) systems and inventory tracking tools is often required. Friendliness, reliability, and a genuine passion for animals are standout soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure that both customers and pets receive excellent care while store operations run smoothly and efficiently.

What are common responsibilities for part-time employees at a pet store?

Part-time employees at a pet store typically assist customers with questions and purchases, help care for the animals by feeding them and maintaining clean habitats, and restock merchandise throughout the store. You may also handle routine tasks like processing transactions, inventory checks, and assisting in setting up displays. Teamwork is important, as you’ll collaborate with coworkers to ensure a welcoming and efficient environment. This role provides an excellent opportunity to build retail and animal-handling experience, which can be valuable for those interested in advancing to supervisory positions or careers in animal care.

Job description

Experienced Dog Groomer
We are a well-established doggy daycare and boarding facility in Smyrna seeking an experienced dog groomer to join our team as an independent contractor (1099). Grooming is new at this location, but demand is already present through our existing daycare and boarding clientele—creating strong earning potential from day one.
This is an excellent opportunity for groomers looking for flexibility, independence, and growth, especially those transitioning from mobile grooming to an in-store setting.
Position Details
  • Employment Type: Independent Contractor (1099)
  • Schedule: 3–4 days per week initially
  • Required Days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
  • Hours: Set your own hours
  • Pricing: Set your own grooming prices

  • Compensation: Commission-based, 50/50 split

  • Tips: Groomers keep 100% of their tips

  • Earning Potential: High, with weekend demand and add-on services
  • Growth Opportunity: Ability to add more days as the store grows
What We Provide
  • Fully equipped grooming salon
  • Water, utilities, and basic shampoo
  • Marketing and promotion
  • Built-in access to daycare and boarding dogs
  • Booking and scheduling handled by the facility for convenience

  • Workers’ compensation coverage for on-site injuries only

  • Clean, professional, supportive environment
✂️ What You Provide
  • Professional grooming tools
  • Prior dog grooming experience
  • Your own groomer’s insurance
  • Ability to work independently
  • Optional specialty grooming products
  • W-9 (required)
  • Signed Independent Contractor Agreement (required)
Booking & Scheduling (1099-Friendly Clarity)
The facility assists with booking and scheduling to support a smooth client experience. Groomers maintain full control over:
  • Services offered
  • Pricing
  • Add-on services
  • Acceptance of clients
This structure is designed for convenience while preserving contractor independence.
Add-On Services
Groomers may offer optional add-on services (deshedding, specialty baths, upgrades, etc.) to increase earnings.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a W-2 or 1099 position?

This is an independent contractor (1099) position.
How does pay work?

  • 50/50 commission split
  • You set your own prices
  • You keep 100% of your tips
  • Add-on services allowed for higher earnings
Who owns the clients?

  • Clients you bring are yours

  • Clients provided by the facility remain with the facility
Will clients be provided?

Yes. Grooming is new at this location, but we have an established daycare and boarding operation with existing demand for grooming services.
Who handles booking?

The facility handles booking and scheduling to support operations and client flow, while groomers retain control over pricing, services, and add-ons.
What supplies are provided?

We provide the salon, utilities, water, and basic shampoo. Groomers may bring and use their own specialty products.
What insurance is required?

  • Groomers must carry their own groomer’s insurance

  • The facility carries workers’ compensation insurance covering on-site injuries

Is there a non-compete?

Yes. There is a non-compete / non-solicitation agreement limited to facility-provided clients only. Groomers remain free to operate their own business and service their personally sourced clients.
Is this a good fit for mobile groomers?

Yes. This role is ideal for groomers transitioning from mobile grooming to an in-store environment without the overhead of running their own facility.
Can I add more days later?

Yes. There is an opportunity to expand days and availability as the grooming side of the business grows.
What paperwork is required?

  • Independent Contractor Agreement
  • W-9 form
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Set your own prices and hours
  • No booth rent, utilities, or shampoo costs
  • Built-in access to dogs
  • Booking handled for you
  • Clear client ownership boundaries
  • High earning potential with growth opportunity
  • Independence without running a full facility
