Pet Bather

Where suds, smiles, and stress-free spa days come standard

You’re a Grooming Technician with Heart

At Wet Nose, our Grooming Technicians are the unsung heroes of clean coats and happy hearts. This isn’t a prep role—it’s the whole service. You’ll work one-on-one with dogs that don’t require haircuts but still deserve the full groooming experience: bath, brush, blow-dry, nails, ears, the works. Unlike most salons, this role is paid hourly (plus tips)—because we don’t believe in rushing through pets just to meet a quota.

It’s hands-on, messy, and incredibly rewarding. If you love dogs, embrace the splash zone, and believe every pup deserves to leave feeling fresh and fabulous—you might just belong here.

As a Pet Bather at Wet Nose, you’ll provide full-service bathing experiences in a calm, Fear Free environment—no trimming or styling required.

• Perform full-service baths, including thorough brush-outs, nail trims, and ear cleaning
• Gently dry dogs using approved Fear Free techniques and equipment
• Ensure each pet feels safe, calm, and supported from start to finish
• Maintain a clean, sanitary grooming space throughout the day
• Monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or health concerns and communicate as needed
• Follow specific service notes and communicate with clients when necessary
• Support grooming team members with occasional prep work or cleanup assistance
• Practice proper handling, safety, and sanitation protocols at all times

This role isn’t for the faint of heart—or for anyone afraid to get a little soggy. We’re looking for someone who’s confident, compassionate, and committed to delivering top-notch care.

• A genuine love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments
• A calm, patient demeanor and gentle handling skills
• The physical strength and stamina to safely handle large dogs
• Attention to detail and pride in doing things the right way
• A strong work ethic and willingness to clean, restock, and stay moving
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with frequent transitions
• Ability to follow safety and grooming protocols with consistency
• Prior pet bathing experience is a plus—but we’re willing to train the right person
• All team members must complete Fear Free training as part of onboarding
