They may also be responsible for cleaning cages or enclosures and maintaining a clean and safe environment for the animals.

Training and Enrichment:

Pet handlers may be involved in training animals for specific tasks or behaviors, such as obedience training for dogs or teaching tricks for entertainment purposes. They may also provide enrichment activities to stimulate the animals mentally and physically, such as providing toys or engaging in play sessions.

Pet handlers maintain detailed records of each animal's care, including feeding schedules, medical treatments, behavioral observations, and any other relevant information. Accurate record-keeping is essential for tracking the progress of individual animals and ensuring that they receive appropriate care.
