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
