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.
