Experienced Large Dog Bather - Part-time

🛑 Are you someone who likes supporting a groomer? This isn’t that. 🛑

• Are you someone who prefers working directly with dogs — not assisting a groomer or prepping for haircuts?
• Do you love being the only person a dog sees during their bath, building trust and routine with “your” regulars?
• Do you take pride in running your own clean, organized bathing space without someone looking over your shoulder?

If so, this role was designed for you.

⭐ Your Own Private Bathing Suite (No Groomer On Shift)

At Four-Legged Fun Zone, our bathers work in their own private bathing suite — a dedicated room with its own bath tub and grooming table for drying. During your shift, you are the only caregiver in this space; no groomers are on-site.

• You won’t prep dogs for haircuts, support a groomer, or bounce between stations.
• You manage your own workflow from bath to dry, with your own dogs, in own enclosed suite.
• You become the calm, consistent, trusted person the dogs see — and the person clients rely on at pickup.

⭐ What This Role Looks Like

You’ll work independently in your dedicated bathing suite, focusing on gentle, thorough care for mostly large–giant dogs (60+ lbs). You’ll become the familiar face dogs relax with and the person clients ask for by name.

Your day includes:

• Bathing, shampooing, conditioning, drying, brushing, and deshedding
• Safe, gentle handling of large breeds
• Keeping your bathing suite clean, stocked, and organized
• Communicating kindly and confidently with clients at pickup
• Building strong, trusting relationships with repeat dogs and their families
• Running your own bathing suite independently — reception and daycare staff are on-site doing their own jobs, but your dogs and your workflow are fully yours to manage
• No haircutting. No scissors. No clipper work. This position focuses solely on bathing and coat care.

⭐ Pay & Perks

• $18/hr guaranteed, even with cancellations
• 20–30% bath commission
• 100% tips
• Paid sick leave (including mental health days)
• Work/life balance is prioritized
• Discounts on vacation care and daycare
• Yearly referral bonus: 5% of every bath a new client books for the next 12 months
• Predictable PM schedule
• No mornings, no weekends
• Calm, structured environment (not a chaotic grooming salon)

⭐ Who Will Do Well Here

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Have 1+ year professional dog bathing experience (verifiable)
• Are not hoping to become a groomer or support one
• Prefer meaningful one-on-one dog relationships
• Are naturally calm, gentle, and observant
• Keep your workspace clean without reminders
• Can self-manage and stay on task without supervision
• Are confident handling large breeds
• Value reliability, routine, and structure
• Enjoy client communication (not constant coworker chatter)

⭐ Requirements

• 1+ year professional dog bathing experience
• Remained in a single paid bather position for at least 12 consecutive months at the same company
• Live less than 30 minutes from our facility (6628 Evergreen Way, Everett 98203)
• Comfortable handling large dogs (60–140 lbs) safely
• Ability to lift 50 lbs
• Clear, friendly communication with clients
• PM availability (2–6 or 2–7 depending on schedule)
