Vet Assistant / Cremation Specialist / PawBearer

Angel’s Paws offers amazing end of life care to very grateful pets and their parents. We have openings for veterinary assistants to assist in all aspects of end-of-life care, from connecting with families during that very first phone call, through the return of their beloved pets’ ashes to their home and everything in between. Angel’s Paws provides a special level of care in this process that assures the pet parent that their pet is being treated with dignity, love, and respect the entire time they are in our care.
