GUT-CHECK / SUMMARY: We're looking for part-time employees with retail experience and a desire to develop a long-term career. You're a smart, high-energy, positive-minded pet lover. Maybe your skills have gone unnoticed at Petco or PFE, and you think you'd be a better fit at a smaller store more intensely focused on helping pets and their owners. Or maybe you're currently under-appreciated in a larger corporate retail environment and would like to have more of an impact on your store. We'll train you about the pet world and our role in it.

You are applying to our Greenbrae store.  Interviews and Basic Training take place in our Novato store.  After training, most of your shifts will be in your Home Store, but you will get to work in all 3 locations (Greenbrae, Tiburon, and Novato).  

At this time, we are only considering people who are available long term.  This is not a seasonal position.

There are part-time positions available, between 20 and 30 hours per week. There is always the opportunity to pick up more shifts, if you are motivated to do so. As a retail store, everyone is expected to be able to work during the day, evenings, and weekends. We have three locations, and you will be scheduled to work in all three stores. Some time after your initial training, you will be assigned a "home store."

We provide a fun and friendly atmosphere, competitive pay and a great opportunity for people interested in a healthy, holistic approach to animal care. This is a fun, hard-working environment, where you can definitely make a difference in the lives of our customers (and their owners).
