Turn your love for animals into a meaningful career.
Company Overview
At Paws Around Motown, we’re not just pet sitters and dog walkers — we’re enrichment nerds, behavior geeks, and the people pets can count on. We care deeply, show up fully, and lead with both heart and excellence. Whether we’re out on a Sniffari or writing a service report, we treat this work like the calling it is.
Our team is joyful, kind, detail-obsessed, and fiercely professional. This is a place where you can grow. Where your ideas matter. Where pets are family and every tailwag means something. If you’re looking for purpose, this is it.
