At first his coaches assigned him the role of forward, but after failing to do so he switched to play as a central defender. In 1990 he moved to the Metalist Kharkiv, playing in the Soviet Top League and then the Ukrainian Premier League. In 1993, Pets came to Israel and signed with Maccabi Haifa FC. Pets is best remembered for his 25-yard goal against Torpedo Moscow in the Holders' Cup.

He has played a major role during the 1993–94 season helping Maccabi Haifa FC go on and win the Israeli Premier League championship without losing a single game. Towards the end of the season, during a game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, he was controversially fouled by Meir Malika and broke his ankle, After a long absence, he returned to play but did not reach his pre-injury level. In the 1995/1996 season, he was loaned to Hapoel Tsafririm Holon, until 1997 until he finally left Israel.

In 1997, he returned to Ukraine, first to Chornomorets Odesa and then to Metalist Kharkiv where he ended his career as a player in 2004.
