Job Description
Dogs all day, a front desk that's actually fun, and a schedule that works around your life.

Pet Foodie LA is a luxury dog grooming salon in Santa Monica, and we're hiring a part-time Receptionist to run our front desk. You're the first face every client and every dog sees — the person who makes a nervous first-timer feel at home and keeps the whole salon running on time.

No reception or salon experience needed. We'll train you on everything. What we can't teach: a real love of dogs, high energy, and a warm, polished presence.

What you'll do

  • Welcome clients and their dogs; handle check-in and check-out
  • Take detailed grooming notes and special instructions at drop-off and make sure they reach the groomer
  • Be the link between groomers and clients — relay updates, send pickup texts, answer questions
  • Keep client and pet records accurate in our salon software (we'll train you)
  • Answer phones, texts, and emails; book, confirm, and reschedule appointments
  • Process payments and tips at pickup
  • Collect and track vaccination records
  • Keep the lobby and front desk clean, stocked, and looking sharp
  • Help clients pick the perfect treat, toy, or leash from our small curated selection
  • Pitch in wherever the day needs you
Who you are

  • A dog person — comfortable and confident around dogs of every size and temperament, including the loud ones
  • Energetic, upbeat, and warm; people light up when they talk to you
  • Polished and professional in how you present yourself — our clients expect a high-end experience and you set the tone
  • Organized and detail-obsessed; a missed note at the desk becomes a bad haircut on the table
  • A clear communicator in person, on the phone, and in writing
  • Reliable — on time, every time
  • Comfortable with technology and quick to pick up new software
  • Available Saturdays (our busiest day)
  • On your feet most of the shift; able to lift up to 30 lbs occasionally
  • 18 or older
Students welcome — we're happy to build your schedule around your classes.

Why you'll love it here

  • Dogs. All day. Every day.
  • Schedules built around your life — tell us what works
  • Paid training, no experience required
  • A small, tight-knit team that actually likes each other
  • Employee discount on products
