Petrov began skating at the age of 5 in 2004. His parents first took him skating because he had contracted bronchitis at a very young age. Under doctor's orders they were asked to either take him swimming or to the skating rink. Because he was only 5 years old, Petrov took up figure skating instead of ice hockey.Tatiana Mishina, Oleg Tataurov and Svetlana Frantsuzova were his earliest coaches.
In the 2009–10 season Petrov brought home the silver medal in the novice event at the 2010 GAM Nestle Nesquik Cup and finished just shy of a medal at Rostelecom Crystal Skate. The following season, Petrov won gold at the 2011 Mentor Nestle Nequik Cup, his first international gold medal. In the 2011-12 season, he won the novice event at the 2011 NRW Trophy in Dortmund, Germany and finished second in the junior event at Rostelecom Crystal Skate.
