On top of this there is always paperwork, dealing with customers, laundry, restocking storage, painting and other essential tasks for keeping thing on track.

You need to have an eye for detail, good physical fitness and strength, the ability to work in a team or alone, the confidence to express your opinion, a robust, excellent reliability and time keeping and a pragmatic but empathetic approach to an animal in need.
