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.
Why you'll love it here
- Dogs. All day. Every day.
- Schedules built around your life — tell us what works
- Paid training, no experience required
- A small, tight-knit team that actually likes each other
- Employee discount on products
Compensation: $20.00 - $23.00 per hour
About Us
I realized that this city needed one place where pet owners can find all the products they know and love at affordable prices.
Promotion As a dog dad living in Los Angeles I would end up driving between three different pet stores across the city to find everything. After years of spending too much time and money for quality pet food I finally said something needs to change. The solution needed to solve both of these problems while also being accessible to dog and cat owners across the city. As a delivery based store we are able to serve pet owners across LA (and neighboring cities). And we don’t outsource deliveries, so you’ll always see the same friendly faces. At Pet Foodie we strive to provide pet owners with a simpler and less expensive way to shop for their pet.
