Ravenswoof Pet Grooming in Ravenswood is hiring a Dog Bather / Grooming Assistant!
We're a small but dedicated team of 4 groomers and 3 bathers and we're looking to expand! We are LGBTQ+ friendly and teamwork-focused, and we love pets of all breeds and spice levels.
Some form of dog handling experience is required, and bathing experience of some kind is preferred, but primarily we're looking for someone punctual, patient and tidy with good attention to detail, who is willing to learn and jump in.
Duties include:
- Washing, drying, and mildly brushing dogs
- Nail trims for walk-in clients, preferably both cats and dogs
- Assisting groomers
- Laundry
- Overall cleaning of the shop, (vacuuming, mopping, the occasional puppy "accident" clean-up, etc.)
The position is PT (20-30 hours | 3-4 days a week) and pay is $16 to start with a bump to $17/h after training (plus tips!). Candidates with bathing experience given extra consideration (and higher pay).
The shop does a weekly payroll and a daily to weekly tip-out. If you are able to do nail trims (dogs or cats), tips will reflect that extra work.
The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday (soon to expand to Monday) and scheduling is flexible, but Wednesday/Friday/Saturday availability is required, and must be able to occasionally work opening shift (8:00am).
