Paws Around Motown is a professional pet care company serving Metro Detroit, known for combining compassionate animal care with structured, safety-first systems. We go beyond basic dog walking and pet sitting—our team focuses on enrichment, behavior awareness, and clear communication to support both pets and their people. What sets us apart is our commitment to doing things the right way: thoughtful training, consistent standards, and a culture that genuinely values growth, trust, and professionalism. We believe pet care is a career, not a gig—and we build our team accordingly.

The west side dogs of Oakland County need their full-time person.

Pet Care Technician — Paws Around Motown West Oakland County, Michigan • Full-Time • Open Availability • $14.50 - $15.50 per hour

Somewhere in Farmington, there's a golden retriever waiting by the window. In West Bloomfield, a senior cat needs her meds at noon. In Franklin, a rescue pup is learning to trust a leash again. And someone — maybe you — is supposed to be the person who shows up for them.

That's not a metaphor. That's the job.

Paws Around Motown is a professional mobile pet care company serving Oakland County. We're not a side hustle, a hobby, or an app. We are a structured, systems-driven team of pet care professionals who take this work as seriously as the families who trust us with their keys, their pets, and their peace of mind.

We're hiring a full-time Pet Care Technician (Dog Walker and Pet Sitter) to cover our west side route: Farmington, Southfield, West Bloomfield, Franklin, and Bloomfield Hills. This is the territory of long driveways, quiet streets, and clients who have been with us for years. The pace is steady. The relationships are deep. The work matters.

Here's what we're really saying: we are not looking for someone "trying this out." We are looking for someone who has been waiting their whole life for a job like this — and wants to grow in it.

WHAT THIS ROLE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

• Dog walking, feeding, hydration, and medication administration in clients' homes
• Snout-to-Tail Health Assessments at every visit — you are the early warning system for that family
• Written client updates and photos through our CRM after every service
• Calm, confident handling of pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments
• Occasional overnight care, new client consultations, and light marketing tasks
• Outdoor work in every Michigan season — including February

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're not hiring someone who "loves dogs." Plenty of people love dogs. We're hiring someone who:

• Has open availability — mornings, midday, evenings, weekends, holidays
• Wants a career in pet care, not a fill-in until something else comes along
• Is dependable to the minute and detailed to the dot
• Can be trusted with a key, a code, and a quiet house
• Stays calm when a dog gets sick, a key sticks, or a thunderstorm rolls in
• Communicates clearly before, during, and after every visit

WHAT WE OFFER

• Real training, real systems, and real leadership
• A defined growth path — Senior Pet Care Specialist, Team Leader, and beyond
• Paid time off, paid holidays, and a culture that holds a standard
• 401K
• A team that has each other's backs — and yours
• The chance to build a career around the work you've always wanted to do
