What does an Animal Caretaker earn?
On average, animal caretakers earn around $33,530 per year in the U.S. Animal caretakers are responsible for the physical welfare of animals, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. They may care for companion animals such as cats and dogs, but also larger farm animals and animals in a zoo. Animal Caretakers can also choose to specialise in a particular breed or species of animal or work in a pet store setting.
How to earn more as an Animal Caretaker
If you want to become an animal caretaker, you'll need a certificate or diploma in animal care or veterinary nursing. Alternatively, you could apply for an apprenticeship in animal caretaking to gain work experience and qualifications. To earn more, you may specialize in a certain area, like wildlife conservation, or you can aim to become a senior animal caretaker or manager. Working independently or setting up a pet care business are also great ways to progress your career.
