About Barkaritaville

At Barkaritaville Pet Resort, we're more than a pet resort—we're a second home for pets and a trusted partner for pet parents. We take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where every pet is treated like family and every team member is valued.

About the Role

We are seeking a dependable, compassionate, and detail-oriented Dog Bather to join our grooming team. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working hands-on with dogs, takes pride in quality work, and thrives in a fast-paced pet care environment.

While dog bathing experience is preferred, we are willing to train motivated individuals with strong animal-handling skills and a positive attitude. The role involves bathing, blow drying, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and coat preparation, all while prioritizing pet comfort and safety. Reliable attendance and punctuality are essential, as appointments are scheduled weeks in advance.

For team members interested in advancing their career, opportunities for grooming education and hands-on grooming training may be available. The ideal candidate genuinely enjoys working with animals and people, stays calm under pressure, and understands the importance of patience, gentle handling, and consistency in pet care.

Hiring Process

Please, NO calls to inquire about this position. Only online applicants that have completed the full application process will be considered.

Equal Opportunity

At Barkaritaville Pet Resort, we're dedicated to creating a safe, happy environment for pets and the people who care for them. We are a drug-free, equal opportunity employer and welcome all applicants regardless of protected status. Employment is contingent upon completion of a background check and, where permitted by law, drug screening in accordance with federal and Texas laws, including the FCRA.
