About Petco

We're proud to be "where the pets go" to find everything they need to live their best lives for more than 60 years. From favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support, we live the universal truths of pet parenthood every day. We are 29,000+ strong, nurturing the pet-human bond in over 1,500 stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, alongside hundreds of clinics and distribution centers. Since founding Petco Love in 1999, we have helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.

Our core values drive us to improve lives by doing what's right for pets and people: putting pets first, fostering connection through our shared passion, and owning our commitment as one team.

About the Role

As a Pet Stylist, you will be the heart of our grooming salon, providing professional services that ensure every pet looks and feels their best.

You will perform expert-level grooming services including bathing, drying, brushing, haircuts, styling, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. With your expertise and attention to detail, you will evaluate individual pet needs, considering coat type, skin conditions, and temperament to deliver breed-specific cuts and styling techniques. You will also educate pet parents on grooming maintenance and at-home care practices to promote their pet's overall well-being.

This is an excellent opportunity for groomers with proven technical experience to grow their expertise. Petco offers a dynamic environment with state-of-the-art equipment, all necessary supplies, and clear career development paths, including opportunities to become a Grooming Salon Leader, Mentor, or Instructor.

Our Culture

At Petco, we believe in being your whole self.
