How we know this

Based on data from 136 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between January 2026 and July 2026.

58% of people say they wouldn’t get paid if they were sick but scheduled to work.

Why this matters

Most US companies don’t have to pay you when you’re sick - only some states require it.

But we believe a good job should pay you when you can’t work because you’re sick. Everyone gets sick sometimes.

What people are saying about sick pay at PetSmart

  • Best thing

    The best things about working for petsmart are seeing tons of cute dogs all day, helping pet parents find solutions for all their pet needs, & seeing all the cool new products as we get them in!

    Worst thing

    They ask for a lot out of their employees. On any given day, there are typically AT MOST 5 employees working at a time. Throughout the whole day there’s really only 10-12 employees scheduled to care for the pets we sell (feeding, cleaning, medication for sick pets, vet visits etc), provide customer service, ring register, pick online pickups & ship from store orders, execute inventory management, stock, and much much more. Us as employees are expected to complete tasks at breakneck speed while also providing excellent customer service. Some days it feels impossible given the high sales volume of my particular store.
