Breeder assistants help care for animals on a day-to-day basis. They might take animals to the vet to attend to the breed's specific health needs.

In this type of position, you might also screen potential clients who wish to purchase animals. In this job you can really use your love for animals to ensure that these furry pals get good homes. Breeders check character and vet references to make sure the customer's current pets are well cared for and to ensure the pedigreed animal will receive obedience training.

Animal trainers

Animal trainers book their animals in television and movies as well as commercials and print media (think magazine advertisements and billboards). In this job you can smile with pride as you think, "That's my boy...I mean dog." Often, they work exclusively with people from within the industry, but persistence pays off for those entry-level spots.

Four-legged actors and actresses need to be handled on and off camera, taken for walks during breaks and groomed prior to filming. When multiple animals are involved, making sure they get along is an important job, too. You know how those stars always seem to being getting into fights...
