Helping self-wash clients get set up and educated on products/tools
Assisting with walk-in services such as nail trims and basic care
Maintaining a clean, sanitized, and organized salon environment
Rotating laundry throughout the day
Cleaning kennels, tubs, drying tables, floors, and equipment
Monitoring pets for safety and comfort while in our care
Supporting the grooming and front desk teams during busy periods
Helping maintain a positive, upbeat atmosphere for clients and coworkers

What We’re Looking For

Comfortable working around dogs of all sizes and personalities
Able to work in a physically demanding environment
Strong attention to cleanliness and sanitation
Reliable, punctual, and able to stay focused during busy shifts
Positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever needed
Team-oriented with strong communication skills
Weekend and evening availability required

This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who:

Loves staying active and moving throughout the day
Enjoys working with animals and people
Takes pride in keeping spaces clean and organized
Thrives in a fast-paced environment
Wants opportunities to grow within the pet care or grooming industry

Why Animology?

Animology is a locally owned pet supply and grooming company built around education, teamwork, and creating a positive experience for pets and their people. We believe in a strong culture, growth opportunities, continued learning, and building a team that genuinely enjoys coming to work.

Benefits May Include:

Employee discounts
Paid training
Growth opportunities within grooming and pet care
Team-building events and continued education
Health insurance eligibility
PTO opportunities

If you’re hardworking, dependable, and excited to work in an environment centered around pets and teamwork, we’d love to meet you.

Compensation:

$17 - $17.50 hourly

Responsibilities:

What You’ll Do

Be the host: Greet every pet parent.
Guide & educate: Show customers how to safely and effectively use our professional bathing stations and drying tools.
Clean like a boss: Wipe down, disinfect, and keep the area spotless, including kennels, laundry, walls, and general cleaning.
Share your knowledge: Recommend the right brushes, shampoos, and de-shedding hacks.
Support the pack: Help move pets to groomers, jump in with light nail trims, and assist around the store when needed.
Stay alert: Follow safety protocols to keep everyone – human and canine – safe and smiling.

Qualifications:

What We’re Looking For

You genuinely love dogs and aren't afraid to get a little (okay, a lot) wet.
You’re obsessed with cleanliness and notice every speck of dirt.
You have strong customer service energy and like helping people feel confident and cared for.
You can lift 50 lbs, be on your feet for hours, and handle both small pups and the occasional Great Dane with care.
You’re not afraid of hustle – weekends and busy days don’t rattle you.
Bonus: Previous experience working in grooming, vet clinics, dog daycare, or retail.
