This is a job where there is not only always something to do, but there is always something different to do! It requires a person with a multitude of skills. A person that is a self-starter and takes pride in their work. A person who loves animals (dogs, cats, horses, cows, birds and fish) and wants to make sure they are safe and healthy. A person that is organized about their activities, and is constantly looking for a problem and catch it early rather than later.
