For the pet-loving parent who wants to make a difference between drop-off and pick-up.
Company Overview
At Paws Around Motown, we believe pet care should feel like a warm hug — and we live that out every day. We’re joyful, professional, kind-hearted, a little quirky, and fiercely devoted to the pets and people we serve. Whether we’re walking your dog, checking on your cat, or helping your rescue pup master loose-leash walking, we show up with heart, skill, and purpose.
Our company culture is supportive, curious, and growth-minded. We celebrate tailwags, tiny wins, and team members who want to keep learning. This is the kind of place where showing up as your full, animal-loving self is not only welcome — it’s the standard.
