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 believe great pet care starts with great people, which is why we focus on creating a supportive and team-oriented workplace with opportunities to grow, regular recognition for strong performance, and a servant leadership approach.

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled, compassionate, and dependable Veterinary Assistant/Technician to join our team.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced veterinary environment where teamwork, adaptability, and attention to detail are essential. Team members play a direct role in patient care by assisting doctors with exam room appointments, educating clients, and helping create a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys staying busy, thrives in a collaborative environment, and takes pride in delivering high-quality patient care.

This role requires flexibility in scheduling across our full range of operating hours as well as the ability to float between our hospital locations (all within a 15-mile radius). Schedules vary based on business and patient care needs and are not fixed week to week. This position requires consistent availability- not compatible with an in-person school schedule or long-term schedule restrictions.
