Private boarding and breeding establishments:
the manager is responsible for recruitment, staff training, daily routines and maintaining high standards of care and hygiene throughout the kennels. They may also be required to do some of the physical work in the kennels. Formal qualifications are not necessary but good organisational or management skills and some experience working with animals is essential.

Animal Charity Rescue and Rehoming Centres;
Animal rescue centres are set up by individuals or charitable organisations; Working for an animal charity is very different to the work of a private boarding or breeding organisation and no two animal rescue centres are run in the same way so it is difficult to clearly define the role of an animal care manager in an animal rescue charity. They vary in just about every way including location, size, layout, facilities, types of animals catered for, policies and ethos. However, one thing they all do is to take in, care for and re-home unwanted animals.
