Full Time Mobile Pet Groomer
About The Position
Bark & Mane of Hollywood and Studio City is a luxury mobile pet grooming company bringing white-glove, one-on-one care to the doorsteps of LA's most discerning pet parents. We're an ambitious high-end startup, and we're hiring an experienced groomer who wants to grow with us — a founding team member who will help set the standard for premium mobile grooming in Los Angeles. This isn't a high-volume assembly line. It's unhurried, artful grooming for a premium clientele who expect — and reward — excellence. No cages, no crowded shop. Just you and one pet at a time in a beautifully equipped van, delivering an experience that turns clients into lifelong regulars. Every pet is a well-being partner for life: be clean, be well & be loved. Cats welcome — and preferred. We groom cats as well as dogs, and skilled, gentle feline grooming is rare and highly valued here. If you're confident with cats, you'll be a standout on our team. As a founding groomer, you'll help shape our standards, our craft, and our client experience — with a clear path to lead groomer and trainer roles as we add vans. We compete on artistry and white-glove service, not on cramming in appointments. Your work is the brand. A premium, local clientele right in your backyard — Hollywood, West Hollywood, Studio City, and North Hollywood.
