Pay: Commission + 100% Tips
Full-Time Scheduling
Established business: We've been operating in the Treasure Valley for 10+ years, and have an excellent reputation that will benefit you!

At Bark & Mane (previously Aussie Pet Mobile), we've built a calmer, more intentional way to groom- one pet at a time, right in the comfort of the client's driveway. No cages, no salon noise, no interruptions. Just you, the pet, and the work you're good at.

• One-on-one grooms = less stress, better quality work
• 100% cage-free- no stacking, no chaos
• Build real relationships with repeat clients
• More control over your pace and your day
• Spacious van interior makes it easier for both you and the pet

• Strong, consistent earning potential- commission plus 100% of tips ($300–500+ per day, often $50–$200 in tips)
• No scheduling headaches- our office handles your appointments
• Fuel, van, and standard equipment fully covered
• A fully equipped Mercedes-Benz grooming van (A/C, heat, water, electricity- no outside hookups needed)
• Paid training on our systems and tools, so you can hit the ground running
• Opportunity to advance and grow with a locally owned, established business

What You'll Be Doing

• Full-service grooming from start to finish, independently and without direct supervision
• Creating a calm, safe, one-on-one experience for each pet
• Communicating with pet parents professionally and warmly about what's best for their pet
• Keeping your van clean, stocked, and organized
• Delivering a consistently high-quality groom
• Building your client base for recurring appointments

We're looking for groomers who:

• Have prior professional grooming experience (cat grooming experience a strong plus!)
• Can confidently complete full grooms independently or with minimal training
• Take pride in their work and don't cut corners
• Want a less stressful, more structured way to do what they love
• Are reliable, professional, and customer-focused

Schedule

• Full-time schedule (4 ten-hour days)
• Must be available to work Saturdays

Requirements

• Valid driver's license and clean driving record
• At least 21 years old
• Working cell phone with service
