Job Description

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)
