Animal Care Supervisor

About Petco

We are proud to be where the pets go and where the pet people go. For more than 60 years, we have been the place where pets find everything they need to live their best lives—from favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support. We believe in the universal truths of pet parenthood: the boundless boops, missing slippers, late-night zoomies, and everything in between.

Today, we are 29,000+ strong, nurturing the pet-human bond in over 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, alongside 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals and hundreds of preventive care clinics. Since founding Petco Love in 1999, we have supported thousands of local animal welfare groups and helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.

Our core values capture the spirit of our mission:

• Pet First – Protect & Empower: We put the needs of pets and pet parents at the center of everything we do.
• Foster the Fun – Connect & Bond: Our passion for pets brings us together, celebrating the journey of pet parenthood.
• Let’s Go! Own & Commit: We are stronger as one Petco team, championing authenticity to drive success.
