If you’re entrepreneurial, fashion-forward, and have a passion for pets, PetSmart has built the perfect foundation for your new career path. We’re currently in search of novice Pet Stylists to receive formal training and start careers with our PetSmart Grooming Academy. No prior experience is required!
There are a lot of great reasons to choose a career grooming pets, but it can be difficult to strike out on your own. The constant hunt for leads, self-employment taxes and health insurance worries are enough to drive you barking mad. That’s why joining PetSmart as a Pet Stylist is a great decision for so many. We understand your need for independence, but we support you with stability and a great brand that helps drive new clients straight to you. The rewards of a PetSmart career are pretty good looking too.
Just like there are multiple breeds of pets to pamper, there are multiple ways to grow in our salons. Our career opportunities don’t stop at experienced stylist. It all comes down to your ambition and the path you want to take. Continue to grow your career with these roles: Salon Leader, District Academy Trainer, or field Salon Operations leader.
I was trained for success and I took it and ran with it. I started as a Bather and I am now a District Academy Trainer. The ability to grow and develop yourself in this company is unreal.

Pampering pets really is our forte – as The Groomery attests. A stand-alone salon with a spa-inspired design, The Groomery is the place where all pets are treated like top dogs. It’s also the ideal place for experienced and aspiring Pet Stylists to build a great career delivering upscale, unique, and innovative grooming services.
We take pride in picture-perfect pups and our PetSmart Grooming Team. They turn grooming into an art at competitions across the nation. Every year they win trophies and awards while representing the top-quality work PetSmart stylists are capable of. With this kind of talent on display, it’s no wonder that the average tenure for the PetSmart Grooming Team is 12 years!
