Receptionist Luxury Dog Grooming Salon

Benefits:

• 401(k) matching
• Competitive salary
• Opportunity for advancement

Dogs all day, a front desk that's actually fun, and a schedule that works around your life.


Pet Foodie LA is a luxury dog grooming salon in Santa Monica, and we're hiring a part-time Receptionist to run our front desk. You're the first face every client and every dog sees — the person who makes a nervous first-timer feel at home and keeps the whole salon running on time.


No reception or salon experience needed. We'll train you on everything. What we can't teach: a real love of dogs, high energy, and a warm, polished presence.


What you'll do

• Welcome clients and their dogs; handle check-in and check-out
• Take detailed grooming notes and special instructions at drop-off and make sure they reach the groomer
• Be the link between groomers and clients — relay updates, send pickup texts, answer questions
• Keep client and pet records accurate in our salon software (we'll train you)
• Answer phones, texts, and emails; book, confirm, and reschedule appointments
• Process payments and tips at pickup
• Collect and track vaccination records
• Keep the lobby and front desk clean, stocked, and looking sharp
• Help clients pick the perfect treat, toy, or leash from our small curated selection
• Pitch in wherever the day needs you

Who you are

• A dog person — comfortable and confident around dogs of every size and temperament, including the loud ones
• Energetic, upbeat, and warm; people light up when they talk to you
• Polished and professional in how you present yourself — our clients expect a high-end experience and you set the tone
• Organized and detail-obsessed; a missed note at the desk becomes a bad haircut on the table
• A clear communicator in person, on the phone, and in writing
• Reliable — on time, every time
• Comfortable with technology and quick to pick up new software
• Available Saturdays (our busiest day)
• On your feet most of the shift; able to lift up to 30 lbs occasionally
• 18 or older

Students welcome — we're happy to build your schedule around your classes.
