Full Job Description

Do what you love. Care for dogs like family.

At Healthy Spot, we believe grooming is more than a haircut — it’s about trust, comfort, and helping pets live their healthiest, happiest lives. We’re looking for a skilled, professional, and kind-hearted Dog Groomer to join our Los Angeles (Playa Vista, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, and West Hollywood) salon team and help us deliver thoughtful, high-quality care to every dog (and pet parent) we serve.

If you love dogs, take pride in your craft, and enjoy building real relationships with customers, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Groomer at Healthy Spot, you’ll provide full-service grooming while creating a calm, positive experience from drop-off to pick-up:

Grooming dogs with care and skill — including bathing, brushing, hand-scissoring, clipping, hand-stripping, and creative grooming/Asian fusion style when requested
Greeting pet parents and their dogs by name and taking the time to understand each dog’s needs
Assessing coat, skin, nails, ears, teeth, and overall condition, and thoughtfully recommending services or products when helpful
Clearly communicating timing, pricing, and any add-on services so pet parents feel informed and confident
Keeping detailed notes so every visit feels personal and consistent
Checking in on dogs throughout the day to ensure they’re comfortable, hydrated, and stress-free
Letting pet parents know when grooming is complete and staying connected until pickup
Keeping the salon clean, safe, and welcoming for dogs, customers, and teammates
Supporting your fellow groomers and contributing to a positive, respectful team environment

What We’re Looking For

At least 1 year of hands-on grooming experience, including bathing and full grooms
Comfort working with a variety of dog breeds, coat types, and temperaments
Confidence using professional grooming tools and techniques
Willingness to learn advanced techniques such as hand-stripping, creative, and Asian fusion style
A warm, friendly communication style — you enjoy talking with people as much as dogs
Ability to stay calm, organized, and flexible in a busy salon
A genuine love for dogs and commitment to their safety and wellbeing
Ability to work well within a team (your grooming teammates as well as retail and daycare counterparts)

(Internal candidates may qualify through successful completion of Healthy Spot’s grooming apprenticeship program.)

Experience & Skills

Associate’s degree preferred, or equivalent professional experience
Ability to pass a grooming skills assessment
Strong customer service instincts and good judgment
Comfortable working independently and as part of a close-knit team

Pay & Earning Opportunity

We offer a fair, transparent pay structure that rewards experience, quality work, and initiative:

$20–$31 per hour, based on experience and grooming skill level
Tips, paid directly to you by pet parents
Commission on grooming business you personally generate, paid in addition to hourly wages
Hourly pay is guaranteed for all hours worked, with commissions and tips providing additional earning potential
Medical, dental, and vision benefits

This role is hourly and non-exempt, with overtime, meal periods, and rest breaks provided in accordance with California and Los Angeles labor laws.

Physical Nature of the Role

This is an active, hands-on position that includes:

Standing for most of the workday
Frequent bending, reaching, and lifting
Frequent Lifting of dogs up to 30 lbs without assistance
Regular exposure to water, grooming products, and pet hair

Why You’ll Love Healthy Spot

Work with dogs every day in a caring, supportive salon environment
Have the support of bathers, store managers, and other team members with customer phone calls, bookings, and general customer service matters
Be part of a brand built on integrity, quality of service, and community
Build long-term relationships with loyal pet parents
Grow your skills, confidence, and income over time

If you’re passionate about grooming and want to work somewhere that treats dogs like family and teammates like friends, we’d love to meet you.

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time

Pay: $22.00 - $31.00 per hour

Expected hours: 20 – 40 per week

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Employee discount
Health insurance
Paid time off
Retirement plan
Vision insurance
