Description

$40-$60 Per Hour | 11:00 AM–5:30 PM With 30-Minute Lunch | No Late Nights or Weekends At Four-Legged Fun Zone (a division of Tailored Pet Services), we reward groomers who bring skill and initiative. No vague “50% commission only” promises here — just real numbers that show exactly what you’ll take home. What You’ll Actually Earn in a 6-Hour Shift Small Dogs ($95 each, ~1 hr each) 4 dogs = $380 services → 20% commission Hourly: $16.66 × 6 hrs = $99.96 Commission: $76 Rebook Bonus: $20 (you rescheduled 4 dogs for their next visit) Tips (~$15/dog): $60 Total = $255.96 (~$42/hr) 5 dogs = $475 services → 25% commission Hourly: $99.96 Commission: $119 Rebook Bonus: $25 (5 dogs rebooked) Tips (~$15/dog): $75 Total = $318.96 (~$53/hr) Large Dogs ($135 each, ~2 hrs each) 2 dogs = $270 services → 20% commission Hourly: $99.96 Commission: $54 Rebook Bonus: $10 Tips (~$20/dog): $40 Total = $203.96 (~$34/hr) 3 dogs = $405 services → 25% commission Hourly: $99.96 Commission: $101 Rebook Bonus: $15 Tips (~$20/dog): $60 Total = $275.96 (~$46/hr) In case you aren’t seeing the pattern: we pay 20% commission on $350/day or less 25% commission on $351–$500/day 30% commission on $501+/day Because at FLFZ, we want to reward you for keeping your book full and your clients coming back. Easy Upsell = More Pay 💰 Our $20 Spa Package (nail buffing, teeth brushing, optional spritz, seasonal bandana) takes almost no extra time — but it changes your paycheck. Example: 5 Small Dogs ($95 each, ~1 hr each) Without Spa Package → $319/day with tips = $53/hr With Spa Package ($115 each) → $369/day with tips = $61/hr That’s an $8/hr raise just for offering a simple add-on clients love. Referral Bonus = Long-Term Pay We don’t just reward you for today’s work — we reward you for growth. Bring a client with you (or refer a new one) and earn 5% of their revenue for one full year. Example: one doodle at $135/month = $81 extra/year. 10 loyal clients = $810/year in referral bonuses — on top of your daily pay and tips. Compensation Structure Hourly Base: $16.66/hr (always paid, even if clients cancel) Commission Tiers: 20% up to $350/day, 25% on $351–$500/day, 30% on $501+/day Bonuses: $5 per rebooked appointment + 5% referral bonus for one year Tips: 100% yours — we even cover credit card processing fees Schedule & Work-Life Balance Tuesday–Friday, 11:00 AM–5:30 PM with a 30-minute lunch 6-hour shifts only — sustainable and safe, not 10-hour marathons No weekends.
