Experienced Dog Groomer Sat-Tues 2-7pm

Four-Legged Fun Zone is looking for an experienced groomer who enjoys working independently and taking pride in start-to-finish grooms in a calm, structured setting.

This is a W-2 position with a supportive, hands-off management style — ideal for a groomer who likes to manage their own day, build client relationships, and work without micromanagement.

🗓 Schedule

• Saturday–Tuesday
• Approximately 2:00–7:00 PM
• Consistent, predictable afternoon schedule

🐾 The Work (Exact Flow & Responsibilities)

• Private, closed-door grooming suite — only one grooming dog in the building at a time
• Not a high-volume or assembly-line salon — no dogs waiting in crates or kennels
• You greet the client at the front, bring the dog back to your private grooming room, and groom start-to-finish
• When the groom is complete, you return the dog to the owner, check client out, and handle rebooking before they leave
• You reset and clean your grooming space between dogs so it’s ready for the next appointment
• Hands-off management — you manage your own workflow, timing, rebooking, and room reset

Qualifications (Please Read Carefully)

• 24+ months of recent professional grooming experience
• Formal grooming training (grooming school, vocational program, or documented apprenticeship)
• Stable work history — at least 12 consecutive months at your most recent grooming position
• Able to complete full grooms independently across multiple breeds
• Reliable, punctual, and consistent in daily workflow
• Physically able to lift up to 50 lbs and remain on your feet for most of the shift
• Willing to complete a paid test groom
• Lives within ~15 minutes of Everett location (6628 Evergreen Way)

Compensation & Structure

• W-2 employee
• Paid for all on-site time
• Guaranteed hourly base for every hour worked
• Additional earnings through commission, tips, and performance bonuses
• Tips are 100% yours
• Referral bonus: earn 5% of what your referred clients spend in their first year
• Quarterly bonuses tied to rebooking, communication, and consistency

What This Looks Like in Practice

On days primarily consisting of larger dogs, groomers typically earn the equivalent of $55–$75 per hour, depending on dog size, services, and individual grooming pace.

Grooms are completed start-to-finish, with most dogs taking approximately 60–90 minutes, depending on coat, behavior, and services.

Because this is a part-time, start-to-finish role, effective hourly earnings vary by pace and services, rather than being a flat hourly wage.
