What Does it Mean?
- As a pet care provider, you have accepted the responsibility of
caring for pets. But, do you really understand what that means?
Most people have a very limited idea of what caring for pets
entails.
- As pet care facility operators, we are often told, by
well-intentioned pet lovers, "I really envy you, getting to play
with dogs and cats all day, I wish I had a job like that."
- Pets are very similar to children. They require constant care.
Some cannot be left unattended for more than a short while without
disastrous effects. They seem to enjoy making a mess, and have no
concept of cleaning it up. They must be fed quality foods, have
access to fresh water, and be kept in consistently sanitary
conditions. They need human interaction, socialization and exercise
to be happy and well adjusted.People Need Pets - And Pets Need Care
Givers.
- When owners can't be there for their pets, they tum to pet care
professionals. You have taken on a big responsibility. You must be
consistently thorough, alert and reliable. Caring for pets is
rarely a nine-to-five job and can be very demanding of your time
and your patience. If you have what it takes, the pet care
profession can be very rewarding. There are many opportunities for
advancement and branching out into other fields. When the day is
done, and you know you have lived up to your responsibilities, care
giving is very satisfying.Work Ethic
- A good work ethic begins to develop at a young age. How we were
raised, where we were raised and our parents' expectations of us
all contribute to a good or poor work ethic.
- People who were raised in an environment where everything was
handed to them, and who never had to work for anything, are more
apt to have a poor attitude toward work; they've never had to do
it. People raised in a household where children are expected to do
everything, many times grow up hating the idea of work, especially
if there were no rewards for the work that was done. Then there are
those who were raised in a household where chores were to be
completed, you followed through with something you started, and
were rewarded for a job well done. Such households generally
fostered a good work ethic.
- We hope you have chosen this occupation because you feel you
will find it truly satisfying. Monetary rewards may be a factor,
but they should be secondary to the rewards of having a satisfying
position and being committed to doing it to the best of your
abilities. If you enjoy the job, it transforms itself from being a
burden to an enjoyable part of life, where you can find something
new and interesting every day.An employee with good work ethics
would:
- Be Industrious - Learn the job well enough to solve most of the
problems without having to constantly go to the manager for
direction. However, you must know which problems to take to the
manager, and which ones to solve yourself.
- Be Informed - Know the business and your role within it. This
is important in terms of morale, as well as performance. If you are
not clear on your position and responsibilities, ask.
- Be Honest - Work is a privilege, not a right. We all understand
that stealing from the company makes for a bad employee. But one
must also understand that an employee who stands around and wastes
the company's time, or uses company equipment and supplies (such as
phones, copiers or pet food) for personal matters without first
obtaining permission, is stealing. Theft of time, supplies or
services is still theft - every bit as much as reaching in the cash
box and taking money.
- Be Loyal - When you accept a job, it is a commitment to your
employer. If you choose to be part of their team, you should be a
dedicated member of that team.Dependability
- Animals are routine creatures and will be relying on you to
provide for their care. Your employer has determined the staff
schedule according to the number of pets to be cared for. In some
facilities, one absentee employee could be a substantial percentage
of the day's staff. If you fail to show up for your shift, or are
late in arriving, the pets' routine has been disrupted and the rest
of the team must take up the slack. As a responsible employee you
should strive to maintain reasonable health standards and schedule
personal affairs on your off duty hours. In doing so, they will not
interfere with the performance of your job.In a service-oriented
business, good customer service is a "MUST." Without customers,
there's no business. In the pet care industry, you actually have
two customers to make happy. You have the pet, and you have the
pet's owner. The pet is usually the easiest one for everyone to
deal with and make happy, our focus must be on the owner. They will
be the one who brings the pet back time, and time again. We need to
make them feel special when they come to our businesses. If they
feel special, they will know their pet is also special to us.
