Our core values capture that spirit as we work to improve lives by doing what’s right for pets and people.

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 their favorite meals and toys, to trusted supplies and expert support from people who get it, because we live it. We believe in the universal truths of pet parenthood — the boundless boops, missing slippers, late night zoomies and everything in between. And we’re here for it. Every tail wag, every vet visit, every step of the way. We are 29,000+ strong and together we nurture the pet-human bond in more than 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico, 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals, hundreds of preventive care clinics and eight distribution centers. In 1999, we founded Petco Love. Together, we support thousands of local animal welfare groups nationwide and have helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.

As a Companion Animal Specialist, you are the primary expert and advocate for the health, welfare, and proper care of companion animals and aquatic life within the Pet Care Center (PCC).

You ensure exceptional animal care and habitat maintenance while supporting sales, merchandising, and inventory execution. In close partnership with the sales team, you help deliver outstanding customer experience by combining deep animal-care knowledge with strong operational discipline. This role is ideal for someone passionate about animal welfare who enjoys teaching others and contributing to a collaborative team environment.

Complete and verify required animal care tasks, including hourly animal health checks, wellness documentation, maintenance logs, and incident reports.
Ensure proper handling, documentation, and care of relinquished and adoption animals.
Serve as the primary resource for animal care education for customers and PCC partners.

Efficiently order live animals, supplies, and related merchandise in partnership with the sales team to support inventory integrity and business goals.
Analyze inventory data and identify opportunities to improve in-stock levels, shrink, and operational efficiency.
Participate in animal and aquatic-related physical inventory counts.
Assist with opening and closing procedures as assigned.
Perform additional duties and special projects as needed to support Pet Care Center operations.

Customer Experience & Sales Support

Process register transactions accurately and efficiently.
Evaluate customer needs and escalate concerns to the Leader on Duty when appropriate.
Support Omni-channel and in-store initiatives through consistent execution and customer engagement.

What Success Looks Like

Animals are healthy, safe, and cared for to Petco’s highest standards.
Customers trust the team’s expertise and return for guidance and solutions.
Animal habitats and aquatic areas are clean, compliant, and visually appealing.
Inventory and merchandising support sales while minimizing shrink.
Partners feel supported and informed through shared animal-care knowledge.

What You Bring

Experience & Skills
