About The Position

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. 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.
