Get the inside scoop from our partners

Being a District Manager at Petco means getting to have fun while coaching my team in the best environment possible. I get to see all kinds of animals every day and lead a passionate group of people who want nothing but the best for those animals.

Brittany W., District Manager

During my Petco career, I have grown from companion animal leader to a dog trainer, to a dog training instructor. I enjoy helping pets and pet parents communicate better while working with passionate pet people all over the country. I love hearing from my previous students about their success stories and knowing that they are making a positive impact in the lives of dogs!

Jeremy P., Petco Positive Dog Trainer and Instructor

I’ve worked many clinic and relief roles, and I was weighing several options for full-time roles before joining Vetco Total Care. My decision to switch to VTC came down to salary plus benefits plus the open time-off. Our flexible time-off policy was a big part of my decision. It allows me to take personal time off when I need it. Another major benefit is the paid liability insurance – as a relief doctor that can really add up!

Dr. Kayce K., Veterinarian, Vetco Total Care

At Petco, you have the power to make a real impact—connecting with local communities, partnering across the network, and leading with autonomy to drive the business forward. We inspire teams, create meaningful change, and grow in a purpose-driven environment.

Ricardo A., Market Director, Petco

I started as a bather in 2014, worked my way up to Petco Pet Stylist, then Pet Stylist Pro and got promoted to a Grooming Salon Manager. In 2021, I became a Grooming Mentor. My favorite part of being a Grooming Salon Manager is the relationships I build with guests, their pets, and my partners. The best part of my job is the community Petco provides and the opportunity for growth. Coming to work should be enjoyable and Petco really makes that a possibility!

Sierra P., Grooming Salon Manager
