Job Description

Searching for Our Mary Poppins of Dog Grooming ✂️🐾

Remember how the Banks children wrote a very specific list describing the nanny they wanted?

We’re doing the same — because we’re looking for our Mary Poppins.

Naturally, a groomer capable of all this magic deserves compensation that’s just as lovely—so here’s what that looks like:

  • Full groom (1–25 lbs): $45–$50 (before tips)
  • Full groom (26–70 lbs): $55–$72.50 (before tips)
  • Full groom (71+ lbs): $82.50–$90 (before tips)

For context, our current groomer can complete a typical mixed 6-hour day of 1 large, 2 medium, and 2 small full grooms—earning approximately $280–$335 in commission, plus an additional ~$85–$100 in tips.

Additional bonuses for:

  • Client referrals
  • Rebooking & retention
  • Strong communication & consistency

While the compensation is sweet, it takes a ‘spoonful of sugar’ attitude to truly thrive here. Here is what that looks like in action:

Our Mary Poppins in Action

  • Sends same-day photo updates clients adore
  • Keeps thoughtful notes so every dog gets consistent care
  • Proactively confirms appointments and fills cancellations
  • Uses downtime productively—like a quick nail trim for a daycare dog.
  • Maintains a calm, predictable grooming flow dogs trust
  • Notices when regular clients disappear and reaches out
  • Honors a consistent schedule so clients know when to book

This is relationship-based grooming, not conveyor-belt grooming.

The Magic of This Role

  • A Private Suite: No chaotic salon floors or shared tables.
  • One Dog at a Time: Focus on quality over chaos, start to finish.
  • Flexible Shift Lengths: High earning potential without the 10-hour burnout.
  • Professional Autonomy: You’re the expert—we don’t micromanage your craft.
  • Established client base: Our daycare and pet care clients already trust us.

Our version of what ‘Practically Perfect’ looks like:

  • 24+ months recent professional grooming experience
  • Formal grooming training OR documented apprenticeship
  • Able to independently complete full grooms across breeds/sizes
  • Reliable, punctual, and steady
  • Comfortable completing a paid test groom
  • Physically able to lift 50 lbs and stand for the shift
  • Live within ~15 minutes of Everett

🌂 Still nodding? You might be our Mary Poppins.

One part kindness. One part consistency. One part craftsmanship.

With just enough magic to make clients never want to lose you.

📩 Complete our online application—we’d love to meet you.

About Tailored Pet Services

At TAILored Pet Services LLC, we personally understand that pets are important family members. They hold a special a place in our hearts and in some cases become our children. We also realize that finding the right individual to take care of their emotional and physical needs is an important decision.

We promise your pets will always receive one-on-one attention, be watched by a consistent person and loved like our own dogs. You can leave your pets in the comfort of their own home knowing they will receive the same love and attention you provide.

Dog Care Services:

• Dog Walking: Sometimes it just isn't possible to walk our furry friends. My team/I will exercise your dog(s) so you find a cheerful and calm friend when you return. Whether your dog needs a leisurely stroll, brisk walk, or fast jog, these customized visits will happen regardless of the Pacific Northwest weather.

• In-home boarding: In-home boarding is very different from a traditional kennel because only 1-2 dogs from the same household stay with us at one time to ensure a personalized experience. We encourage our furry guests to relax/nap on the couches and utilize the floor for playtime. On warm days, we spend time in the fenced back yard so they can enjoy the outdoors. At bedtime, your dogs can to snuggle on the master bed or sleep in a dog bed on the floor like they would at home.

• Overnight Pet Sitting: We have a slumber party in your home with your pets as the guest of honor so they will remain in their own environment and maintain their normal routine. Our overnight services include dinner/evening potty break, staying overnight (including sleeping with your pet if that is part of the routine), breakfast/morning potty visit and other home-care tasks.

Clients love and recommend TPS. If you’d like to be put directly in touch with some of them, contact us and we’d be happy to connect you!
