Taking Care of Pets

Tap into your teamwork mentality and your great love of animals to get pets and parents what they need—and deliver the kind of care that brings true peace of mind.

Helping Customers

Associate stories

Heather

Store Leader

"Day 1, to year 22 has a lot of stories. Our business, our people and our daily routine have changed. I’m grateful for every experience, every moment & every person that created a memory. But on a personal note, I’m grateful for a District Leader who never let me doubt myself, never let me settle for 2nd & who challenges my teams through the most challenging times! I’m proud to work for a company that has grown to be this amazing place & become my home."

George

Store Leader

“I love truly being United Together, from the home office to the field leadership support. Being surrounded by my peers who exhibit passion for the pets in our care and those that visit us every day in the stores make it easy to love my #LifeAtPetSmart.” 

Albert

Store Leader

“Every day I get to do something I love and work with a team that is as passionate for pets and people as I am. I am thankful PetSmart has given me so many opportunities to grow with the company.”

Barbie

Pet Trainer

"It really means a lot to me that I am recognized for all of my hard work. I am the Associate of the Quarter, which means I am the associate of my entire DISTRICT, not just my store. I’m SO excited! I love what I do, and will push hard to continue building the bond between pets and pet parents."

Jake

Store Leader

"I love my #LifeAtPetSmart. I have 23+ years of retail experience and PetSmart has been the most fulfilling when it comes to making direct connections. I value the ability to build relationships with my leaders, peers, and team members to create a positive work culture that helps drive customer loyalty for the life of every pet. I enjoy seeing families come in with their pets and getting to know them outside of the normal customer service retail experience. I guess you could say PetSmart is definitely a 'different animal.'”

Janet

Store Leader

“I’ve been in retail for almost 40 years. PetSmart is the first place that I’ve worked that I live and breathe our mission statement every day as well as all my peers, leaders and partners at the home office. I have the privilege to lead a team of associates that have HEART and share it every day with every pet parent they greet. And who can have a bad day when there are puppies, dragons, and snakes stopping by to say hi?!”

Albert

Store Associate

"My #LifeAtPetSmart more than I could’ve ever imagined. As a veteran, it’s been hard finding a place like the military where we all had each other’s back—and that’s exactly what PetSmart does for me. PetSmart is a family who cares for each other and help each other excel at work and in life. Everyone allows me to be me and together we make pet lives and pet parents lives better. Every day, I am extremely grateful to be part of an amazing family with amazing goals and a beautiful mission.” 

Sara

Assistant Store Leader

"I am a proud Assistant Store Leader. My team is amazing and I’ve never loved a job so much in my 18 years in retail. I’ve been looking for a job where I belong my whole life and finally found it at PetSmart. I love this company so much! I’ve never been so happy to go to work every day."
