Jobs For Animal Lovers Around Echo Park-Silver Lake

LOS ANGELES, CA – I once took a buyout so I could trade in my job at a newspaper for a work-from-home position because it allowed me to spend more time with my dog. So, yeah, we here at Patch get you, animal-lovers.

For those who love pets as much as people, for the ones who can't resist puppy dog eyes and the hum of a happy purr, we've curated local job openings having something to do with the animal kingdom. Some of these jobs give you a chance to work directly with animals while others let you bring your pet to work.
