Dog Walker/Pet Sitter

Pet Care Technician — Paws Around Motown

Oakland County, Michigan • Full-Time

You’re not looking for a job. You’re looking for a place where the work is real, the team actually cares, and your growth isn’t just a talking point in an interview. You want variety, structure, and a company that communicates clearly and holds a standard.

We built that place.

Paws Around Motown is a professional mobile pet care company in Oakland County. We’re a team of skilled, mission-driven pet care professionals who take our work seriously — and we’re looking for someone who does too.

We’re hiring a Pet Care Technician who is sharp, physically active, and ready to grow. If you’ve got a background in animal care or a related field and you’re done with environments that don’t match your energy — keep reading.

WHAT THIS ROLE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

Active, independent, and always moving. Every day is different. The standard never is.

• In-home dog walking, feeding, hydration, and medication administration
• Snout-to-Tail Health Assessments — you’re our eyes in the field
• Real-time client communication and detailed visit reports through our CRM
• Handling pets of all breeds, sizes, and behavioral backgrounds
• Occasional overnights, client consultations, and social media contributions
• Outdoor work year-round, routes across Oakland County

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We want someone who moves fast and thinks clearly. Someone who doesn’t wait to be told twice, asks good questions, and brings ideas — but still follows the chain of command because they understand why systems matter.

You’re a strong fit if you:

• Have experience in veterinary care, animal welfare, or a hands-on animal-related field
• Are physically fit and fully comfortable working outdoors in all conditions
• Are tech-savvy and quick to adopt new tools and workflows
• Communicate confidently with clients and colleagues — written and verbal
• Are growth-oriented and want a clear path to Senior or Team Lead over time
• Can de-escalate anxious animals and anxious people with equal ease

WHAT PAM OFFERS

• Pay: $15.00 - $17.00 per hour — competitive and experience-based
• Pet CPR and First Aid certification — provided by PAM
• Pet Care certification — provided by PAM
• A structured training system with a dedicated mentor
• Real advancement pathways — Senior Pet Care Specialist, Team Leader, and beyond for the right person
• A tech-forward environment with tools that actually work
• Transparent leadership that communicates clearly and consistently
• A team of high performers who hold each other to a real standard
• Variety built into the role — no two days are identical

THE FINE PRINT

• Valid Michigan driver’s license and reliable insured vehicle required
• Must be able to lift up to 60 lbs and handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments
• Must be available at least 4 days per week between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm, including rotating weekends. Open availability (Monday through Sunday) is strongly preferred. This is a full-time position.
• Background check required

“I’m here because this place actually cares about animals and people. You can feel it. And I want to grow with a company like that.”
