Welcome to Destination Pet. We are One Pack- a united team working together to elevate the love and lives of pet families. Our pet-obsessed professionals create a connected care network of trustworthy partners who bring creative innovation every day. We are revolutionizing the pet industry. Join us! We’re currently sniffing out our next Groomer at The Barking Lot! Do you dream in coat types and clipper guards? Can you turn a scruffy pup into a showstopper and chat kindly with the owner of a matted doodle who says, “Just a trim”? Come take your place alongside a team who care hard, laugh often, and leave no tail untamed. At Destination Pet, we’re not just another Pet/Vet care center—we’re a community built on belly rubs, breed standards, and a belief that every pet deserves to look (and feel) their best. Since 2016, we’ve been elevating the love and lives of pet families across the country with top-tier care that includes grooming, daycare, boarding, veterinary services, training, and more.
