Now Hiring
New Groomers
Join a mobile grooming team that invests in you — your skills, your earnings, and your career.
Grooming is a craft.
We treat it like one.
We built Barks in the Bay because we know what a bad grooming job looks like — and we refused to create one. Small team, real support, real dogs, real growth. If you take pride in your work, this is where you belong.
Join the Pack →Benefits that actually matter
We built a place where groomers want to stay — not just start.
Monthly Performance Bonus
Great work gets rewarded here — and not just with a pat on the back. Our monthly bonus structure recognizes consistency, client retention, and quality. You put in the effort to build those relationships, so you should see the return on that investment.
Plus 100% of tips go directly to you, every time. No pooling, no splitting.
💰 Monthly bonuses + 100% tipsReal Dogs. Real Love.
Every dog we groom is a real pet with a real family who trusts us. We don't rush, we don't double-book, and we don't take on more than we can do well. You'll work one-on-one with dogs you genuinely look forward to seeing every visit.
Mobile grooming means no stressful waiting rooms, no barking kennels — just you and the dog in a calm, clean van. It's the way grooming should feel.
🐕 Quality over volume, always
Continuing Education Support
We invest in your craft because it makes all of us better. Groomhaus subscription, breed-specific workshops, IPG certification support — we provide the time and resources for you to keep developing your skills.
The best groomers never stop learning. We make sure you never have to stop either.
