You may want to check, but it may be illegal for the owner to require you to help pay the bather.
I believe that is only if you are an employee...since the OP is an independent contracter it's different.
I think the situation is quite fair! And, you REALLY can increase productivity by having a good bather, no doubt. It's all in how you structure your appts. Not to mention, she can learn how to demat, nails, anals, etc. in time to make you even more productive.
There are 3 different kinds of people in this world: Dog people, cat people, and rational people who don't have a problem liking two things at the same time.
