Hospital Aide

Make an impact caring for pets — and the people who love them.

More than 30,000 pet owners across Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati trust PetWOW with their pets’ care.

Who We Are

PetWow is a family-owned veterinary company founded in 1971. We operate two Northern Kentucky hospitals and a fleet of mobile wellness vehicles serving the Greater Cincinnati area.

Our mission is simple: strengthen people and pets by making pet care easy.

We work hard, move quickly, and care deeply about our team, clients, and patients. We offer potential growth opportunities, supportive management, team events, and regular recognition for strong performance.

About the Role:

We are searching for a dependable, kind, and team-oriented Hospital Aide to support our grooming, kennel, hospital, and mobile care teams.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced role for someone who enjoys staying busy and helping animals. Responsibilities include kennel care, cleaning, grooming support, animal handling, and assisting with daily operations.

To provide the best possible care for our patients, team members should be comfortable working within our operating hours and maintaining flexibility as scheduling needs arise. While this position is primarily based at one hospital location, occasional coverage at our nearby hospitals (all within a 15-mile radius) may be requested to support our teams and patients. Because schedules are built around patient care needs, some week-to-week variation may occur. Candidates with reliable availability, adaptability, and a collaborative, team-focused approach will be especially successful in this role
