Pet Care Worker
Definition and Nature of the Work
Pet care workers provide a wide variety of services for the owners of small animals, such as dogs, cats, and birds. Pet care workers are employed in animal hospitals, boarding kennels, animal shelters, pet grooming establishments, pet training schools, and pet shops. Some pet care workers have their own businesses. There are many kinds of pet care workers. Kennel attendants care for animals in their kennel while the owners are away from home. They feed and give water to the animals and keep their quarters clean. They watch the animals closely to make sure that they are in good health. They often exercise animals and keep records on the animals' health, feeding, and breeding patterns. At times they may have to euthanize (put to death) some diseased, elderly, or unwanted animals. Animal groomers bathe pets and use special solutions to keep them free of fleas, ticks, and other pests. They often brush and trim their hair and cut their nails. Dog trainers teach dogs to hunt or track, to obey signals or commands, to guard lives or property, to run races, or to lead the blind. Dog guide instructors train dogs to assist blind people in finding their way to such routine places as their offices and grocery stores. They may also train dogs to assist other disabled people in the completion of daily activities. Handlers hold and command trained animals during a show, sporting match, or hunt. Animal breeders arrange for the mating of animals and care for the mother and the young. They usually train or sell the young animals when they reach a certain age. They often specialize in one breed, such as German shepherd dogs or Siamese cats. Pet shop owners care for the birds, fish, cats, dogs, and other animals that they offer for sale. They also interact with customers. In addition, they must take care of the business details involved in running a store.
Working Conditions
Pet care workers must enjoy being around animals. They may work indoors or outdoors. They must not be bothered by the odor of animals and should not mind cleaning up after them. Their work may involve lifting heavy animals and equipment. Sometimes they must drive station wagons or trucks to pick up or deliver pets. The work involves interacting with people, so workers should be friendly and courteous.
Many pet care workers work forty hours a week. Some workers must also work or be on call in the evenings or on weekends. There are some jobs for part-time workers to care for animals at night or on weekends. Some workers care for animals on an around-the-clock basis with some time off during each day. In these situations the employers often provide attendants with living quarters near the kennel. Pet shop workers and owners often work more than forty hours a week.
