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 stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, alongside 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals and eight distribution centers. 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 to celebrate the journey of pet parenthood.
  • Let’s Go! Own & Commit: We are stronger as one Petco team, championing authenticity to drive success.

About the Role

As a Pet Stylist, you will be the heart of our grooming salon, providing professional grooming services to our valued customers' pets. Your role is to ensure each pet receives exceptional care, leaving them looking and feeling their best while prioritizing their safety, comfort, and well-being.

This is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to showcase your grooming skills, creativity, and passion for animals in a dynamic environment. You will work with state-of-the-art equipment, including bathing systems, kennels, tables, and dryers, while utilizing all necessary supplies provided by the company. Whether you are performing expert-level haircuts, styling, nail trimming, or ear cleaning, you will interact professionally with pet parents, offering recommendations and fostering a connection that lasts beyond the salon visit.

For those with proven technical experience, this role offers a clear path for growth, with opportunities to advance into positions such as Grooming Salon Leader, Grooming Mentor, or Grooming Instructor.
