Animal Caretakers

Employment in the animal care field is expected to grow by 16 percent through 2032, much faster than the average for all careers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Many people have pets and are concerned with their pets' care. Owners who work full-time away from their homes will also want their pets cared for in their absence. Dog-walking services, pet sitting and in-house care, boarding facilities, kennels, and such that provide assistance with the daily care of an animal for the working or traveling owner are far more prevalent and successful than before.
