The pet waste vacuum is a vacuum cleaner. The pet waste vacuum is configured for use in picking up the elimination of a companion animal from a surface. The pet waste vacuum incorporates a housing module, a vacuum module, a storage module, a collection module, and a control circuit. The housing contains the vacuum module, the storage module, a collection module, and the control circuit. The storage module is the structure that receives and contains the elimination. The vacuum module provides the motive forces necessary to: a) draw the elimination into the collection module; and, b) move the elimination through the collection module and into the storage module. The control circuit is an electric circuit that: a) controls the operation of the pet waste vacuum; and, b) provides the electrical energy necessary to operate the pet waste vacuum.
