Bather (Flexible Working Hours)

We’re currently sniffing out our next Bather at Heritage Pet

Can you handle wet dogs, wagging tails, and the occasional shake-off that soaks your entire shirt—and still smile about it? If you're the type of person who thinks every pup deserves a spa day, we’ve got the hose, the shampoo, and the job for you. 
 
At Destination Pet, we’re not just another Pet/Vet care center—we’re a community that lives to elevate the love and lives of pet families. Since 2016, we’ve been serving up best-in-show care from coast to coast with day care, boarding, grooming, training, veterinary services, and more. Whether it's belly rubs or brushing, our goal is simple: make pets feel at home and their humans feel at ease.

💪 What You Should Know: 

• This is an on-your-feet, hands-on, sometimes-sweaty kind of job. 

• Must be able to lift 50+ lbs (golden retrievers don’t walk themselves to the tub). 

• Availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays required (pets don’t take days off). 

• Exposure to cleaning supplies, pet hair, and, ahem, “accidents” is part of the gig. 

• Must be able to be on feet for the duration of your shift.  

• Must be able to stand, walk and climb stairs frequently 

🐾 What You Bring to the Table: 

• You’re a pet fanatic—muddy paws and all. 

• Experience working with animals is a plus but not required—we’ll train the right human. 

• You bring calm vibes to even the wildest wash days. 

• Time management, patience, and a positive attitude are a must. 

• Reliable, coachable, and able to work independently or as part of the grooming team. 

• Comfortable using phones, computers, and facility software. 

• Familiarity with animal behavior, coat types, or grooming prep is a bonus. 

🐕 What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Dodging Shake-Offs and Flying Fur): 

• Bathing dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—with kindness and care. 

• Blow drying, brushing, and prepping pups for their grooming appointments. 

• Trimming nails and brushing teeth (after training). 

• Assisting groomers with whatever they need—holding, fetching, fluffing. 

• Taking dogs outside for potty breaks. 

• Keeping the salon clean, sanitized, and guest ready. 

• Keeping towels washed, stacked, and ready to be immediately unstacked by post-bath zoomies. 

• Notifying the front desk when pups are fresh and ready to go home. 

• Helping with check-ins or phone calls when needed— teamwork makes the groom work. 

• Other duties as assigned
