Just like a babysitter takes care of the safety and well-being of a child, there are dog or pet sitters who are responsible for basic animal care. They perform their jobs at pet's home or a shelter home for animals. Their primary duty is to ensure that pets are happy and don't go into depression when their owners are out for a vacation or regular job. Daily tasks typically include grooming, feeding, exercising, taking veterinary appointments, and ensuring companionship to the client's pet. While there are no mandatory qualification to work for this post, a diploma degree in animal care and a former training can prove useful. This is an interesting and challenging career option as you get a chance to manage dogs of different breeds and develop a close bond with them. If you are animal lover and like spending time with them, this could be the right career choice.
