Pet Stylist Dog Groomer

Thinking about changing salons, but worried what that will do to your income?

We understand!

Changing shops shouldn't feel like a high-stakes bet on your bank account. We believe talent deserves a safety net. That’s why we provide a guaranteed base salary—so you don't have to stress about rent.

In addition to your salary, you keep your commission and 100% of your tips—we just make sure your “worst-case week” still works financially.

Work Environment

Financial peace of mind is just the first step.

The second is the environment you spend hours a day in. Most “standard” shops are built for volume, not for people.

If you feel like you’re constantly fighting a headache just to get through the day, this probably sounds familiar:

• Hot. Humid. Loud. → counting the minutes to grab water between grooms
• Phones ringing constantly → head pounding by mid-afternoon
• Large dog booked in a small-dog slot → schedule blown, evening plans cancelled
• You recommend a shave-down → manager overrides you to satisfy the owner
• Schedule packed so tight → no time for a bathroom break
• Working every weekend → missing trips, family events, life
• Text comes in during dinner → tomorrow’s schedule changed

Here's how we run things.

• Temperature your way → AC, fans, or heater as needed
• Receptionist handles phones → you focus on grooming
• You control your schedule → you decide groom lengths and pacing
• Your professional judgment respected → what’s best for the dog comes first
• Set hours → when your shift ends, you leave
• Your personal time is yours → no after-hours calls or texts
• Weekends free → time for friends, family, and life

Requirements

• 24+ months of professional dog grooming experience
• At least 12 consecutive months with the same employer
• Able to complete full grooms independently across a range of dog sizes
• Comfortable grooming large and giant dogs independently (approximately 60–150 lbs) while using professional judgment to limit how many are scheduled per day
• Reliable, punctual, and consistent attendance
• Physically able to lift 50 lbs and stand most of the shift
• Lives within ~30 minutes of Everett during weekday commute hours (around 8:00 AM)
