PETCO has been helping humans and animals bond since 1965. While it’s true that we are recognized for our best-in-class grooming and training services, as well as our comprehensive line of pet merchandise and natural foods, these attributes are only a piece of our vision as a company.

Our 950+ store locations promote adoption and frequently partner with local communities to promote adoption efforts. The PETCO Foundation, rated a "four-star charity organization" by Charity Navigators, conducts year-round fundraising activities and partners with local and national animal welfare and charity groups to help animals and humans in need.

We provide a fun, challenging and team-oriented career environment, which is enhanced by a variety of training and development programs. We also encourage community involvement and reward excellence through our recognition program.

    Retail Pet Services – Groomer/Pet Stylist/Dog Trainer

     

    PETCO has a variety of positions available for Grooming and Dog Training professionals.

     

    Our Groomers perform grooming services, including brushing, bathing and conditioning of animals, as well as clipping and trimming the coats of our furry friends. Our Dog Training Instructors conduct dog training classes and consult with customers on behavioral issues. Their expertise helps our customers bond with their pets and ultimately helps keep more dogs in happy homes.

     

    Grooming/Stylist candidates should have at least one year of professional grooming experience. Positions also require successful completion of a personal skill evaluation by a PETCO Pet Stylist or Grooming Salon Manager. Dog Trainer positions require formal dog-training experience and the ability to train with a positive reinforcement approach.

     

    No grooming experience? PETCO provides training.

     

    If you don’t have any grooming experience but you're interested in pursuing a career in the pet grooming industry, the PETCO grooming apprenticeship program will help you gain the skills and techniques you need, and PETCO will pay you while you train.

     

    We invite you apply for a Pet Services position at PETCO.
