Nonfarm Animal Caretaker

Feed, water, groom, bathe, exercise, or otherwise care for pets and other nonfarm animals, such as dogs, cats, ornamental fish or birds, zoo animals, and mice. May keep records of feedings, treatments, and animals received or discharged. May clean, disinfect, and repair cages, pens, or fish tanks.Nonfarm animal caretakers work in settings such as kennels, animal shelters, zoos, circuses, and aquariums.

Less than high school is needed for entry. Pet sitters typically don’t need any specific training but are typically required to have some knowledge about the type of animals they are taking care of and some previous experience with animals. Nonfarm animal caretakers don’t need training because the work they do is easy and is a little similar to what vets do.

One task to do is feed and water animals according to schedules and feeding instruction. You always have to feed and water animals at the right time and the right way. I bet you that you would never want an animal go starving to death or dehydrated. Yeah I know, I wouldn’t want that either.Another task is to examine and observe animals to detect signs of illness,disease,or injury. If a animal is in severe danger and you don’t act fast, the animal  could earn itself a ticket straight to deathville. My point is, you have to the right tasks to be the perfect person.
