About Business

Petropolis: Empowered Pet Care is a family-owned business that has been offering pet care services in the St. Louis area for over 35 years.

At Petropolis, our mission is to empower the pets in our care. We do this by incorporating our methods of care into all our lodging, daycare, grooming, and training services. Our methods are based on scientifically proven strategies that involve giving pets choices, setting them up to succeed, and rewarding wanted behaviors. We do not believe in using punishments or causing pain to pets and prefer to use an approach that helps pets to learn, be happier, and strengthens the human-animal bond.

Petropolis' original location is located in Chesterfield, MO, and opened its St. Charles location in June of 2020 which shares its facility with the Academy of Pet Careers. Petropolis is always looking for skilled pet care professionals that share in our values and are looking for a long-term career helping to empower pets.
