About Nikki Whitaker Garmes

I am a Sr. Talent Acquisition Manager for Petco’s veterinary services line: Vetco Total Care. My role is focused on leading a team of phenomenal recruitment professionals to help grow our extraordinary Vet Services Segment. Our focus is finding and hiring Veterinarians, Hospital Leadership roles, Veterinary Technicians, Veterinary Assistants and Receptionists!Our team looks for individuals who are excited and interested in building our future of trusted, full service veterinary care. The Petco veterinary services line is a place for veterinarians and their staff that need a space to practice medicine where their voice is heard. We provide a supportive environment that gives our veterinary partners the autonomy to shape and grow an animal care practice in their community as well as the opportunity to guide the future of compassionate pet care our clients can trust. I am blessed to work in an organization where the organization listens. We stand in contrast to other pet care companies where your voice as a partner isn’t heard and metrics, revenue and company processes mean more than doing what’s best for our people and pets. We offer our veterinary teams the opportunity to build from the ground up and grow themselves and their career in a supportive environment where “doing the right thing” matters most.
