🐾 Pet Care Technician (Part-Time, Flexible Hours) – Metro Detroit

Work that fits your life — and fills it with tailwags.

Company Overview

At Paws Around Motown, we believe that great pet care starts with great people. Our team is joyful, kind, professional, and just the right amount of quirky. We’re enrichment geeks, behavior nerds, and full-on cheerleaders for every pet in our care. Whether it’s a midday walk or a bedtime snuggle visit, we treat every moment like it matters — because it does.

We know that not everyone is looking for a full-time gig. But if you’re looking for meaningful work — the kind that makes a difference, fits your life, and connects you to something bigger — you just might belong here.

You’ll walk dogs, care for cats, write sweet visit reports, and be part of a heart-led, high-standard team. You’ll work about three days a week, mostly midday, with the option to pick up evening pet sitting visits as well.
