About Us

At Pets at Home, everything we do is about understanding and caring for pets.

Pets are amazing. If we’re down, they lift us up. If we’re lonely, they’re our company. If we need a friend, they listen.

Pets improve our health. Increase our life expectancy. Lower our blood pressure. They make us think. Make us care.

And because pets are the best, they deserve the best. At Pets at Home, our trusted retail colleagues are here to give pets and their people exactly what they need. Our Vets for Pets colleagues are their voice when they can’t tell us what’s wrong. Our pet groomers are here to help them look and feel good. Our charitable foundation takes care of pets and their people in need.

We’re one pet family with a shared love of the animals who make us who we are. We know that there’s nothing like the bond between pet and owner – many of us are pet owners too. And we’re here to make that bond stronger than ever.

Kindly note that we may close a vacancy earlier than the specified closing date if we receive an overwhelming number of applications. This allows our team to manage applications efficiently and ensure a positive experience for all candidates

“Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!”
