Experienced groomer wanted for a calmer, more independent grooming role.

Bark & Mane is hiring an experienced part-time pet groomer to join our new mobile grooming team. We provide premium one-on-one grooming at the customer’s home, with a focus on making the experience easier and less stressful for both pets and their owners.

This role is a good fit for someone who takes pride in doing quality work, communicates well with clients, and wants a grooming job with more independence than a traditional salon. You’ll be working out of a fully equipped Mercedes-Benz mobile grooming van, with scheduling support and a business model built around quality, reliability, and long-term client relationships.

This may be a good fit for an experienced groomer who wants strong earning potential without a full-time schedule.

Dog grooming experience is required. Cat grooming experience is a strong plus, but not required for the right candidate.



Compensation
This role is designed for experienced groomers who can build toward a full mobile grooming schedule and strong daily earnings. This is a non-exempt hourly position with commission-based earning potential and tips.

• Hourly pay starting at $22/hour
• Overtime paid as required by California law
• Estimated full-route earnings: approximately $300+ per day before tips
• Tips are additional
• Part-time schedule, with specific days/hours to be discussed
• Referral and performance bonus opportunities may also be available

Our mobile grooming model serves clients who value convenience, quality, and one-on-one care at home. Because appointment prices are higher than many traditional salons, experienced groomers can earn strong daily pay while grooming fewer pets in a quieter, more focused environment.


A strong route of approximately six appointments can generate around $310/day before tips, with tips adding additional earning potential. During ramp-up or lighter schedule days, groomers are protected by a guaranteed hourly base of $22/hour.


Actual earnings vary based on schedule, completed appointments, services performed, and tips.



Why Work with Bark & Mane?
A calmer workday
Work one-on-one with pets in a quiet, cage-free mobile setting. No crowded salon floor, no stacked kennels, and no constant pressure to rush through as many dogs as possible.


Quality-focused grooming
We want groomers to work efficiently, but not at the expense of safety, comfort, or the quality of the groom.


Independence
You’ll work independently throughout the day, with support from the office for scheduling and routing.


Strong earning potential
Our clients are looking for premium mobile grooming, not bargain-basement grooming. That creates better earning potential while allowing you to focus on fewer pets per day.


Fully equipped mobile grooming van provided
We provide a Mercedes-Benz mobile grooming van with air conditioning, heating, water, electricity, a hydrobath, and a professional grooming setup.


Fuel and tools/supplies support
Fuel, van maintenance, and business grooming supplies are covered. Groomers may use their own preferred personal tools.


Safety matters
You have the ability to decline aggressive or unsafe pets. Groomer safety and pet wellbeing both matter here.


Supportive owner and team culture
This is a new local business, and I want to build it the right way: with good communication, high standards, and respect for the people doing the work.

• Provide high-quality grooming services for dogs

• Good scissoring and styling skills
• Excellent animal handling and safety awareness
• Good customer service and communication skills
• A clean driving record
• Reliability, professionalism, and a positive attitude
• Comfort working independently during the day

Preferred but not required:

• Experience with anxious, senior, or special-care pets
• AKC S.A.F.E. Grooming certification or other professional grooming education is a plus. If you do not already have AKC S.A.F.E. certification, we’ll provide the training during onboarding

No degree is required. We care most about your grooming skill, reliability, judgment, communication, and how you treat pets and clients.
