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.
Why you'll love it here
Dogs. All day. Every day.
Schedules built around your life — tell us what works
