Because of Animal Stereotypes, a simple way to show a character's personality is to give them characteristics of — or even portray them as — an animal. However, many works will take things a step further and associate entire occupations with animals.
This is very common in World of Funny Animals settings, but human-focused stories may simply focus on giving the characters Animal Motifs depending on their job as well. People in a certain profession may have some specific animals as pets or mascots. This may be done as a way for the author to express their feelings about certain occupations; animals considered likable may be used as positive representations of certain jobs, while animals considered unlikable may be used for negative representations. Sometimes, associating an animal with a job is done more neutrally, often as a comparison to the real species' ecological niche and behavior.
This is often an opportunity to utilize Good Animals, Evil Animals. "Good" animals may be portrayed in heroic or noble jobs, while "evil" animals will often be portrayed as criminals. The exact level of criminality can differ depending on the individual animal, too. For instance, raccoons and weasels are commonly depicted as crooks, but are usually thieves, con artists, or otherwise part of the Quirky Miniboss Squad as opposed to serious criminals.
Many animal job stereotypes will be Visual Puns as well. For example, a Loan Shark may be depicted as an actual shark, or an Amoral Attorney / Hanging Judge may be a kangaroo, as a pun on Kangaroo Court. References to the collective nouns of the animal's species are also fairly common, such as a businessman that's a ferret (in reference to a group of ferrets being called a business), or a fish that's either a student or a teacher (in reference to a group of fish being called a school).
It is also very common to portray animals working in jobs that their real-life equivalents are often involved in, such as dogs that work as police officers, rabbits and farm animals that work as farmers, or dalmatians that are firefighters.
For general examples of animals being hardworking, see Busy Beaver, Diligent Draft Animal, and Virtuous Bees. For animals that are typically not portrayed as hardworking, see Cats Are Lazy, Sluggish Seal, Laid-Back Koala, and Sluggish Sloths. Compare Powersuit Monkey for cases of non-anthropomorphic animals (especially primates, as the trope name suggests) working in human jobs, often for comedy. Also compare literal versions of All Drummers Are Animals.
For mythical creatures being associated with certain occupations, see Corporate Dragon and Vampires Own Night Clubs.
This is a sub-trope of Animal Stereotypes. Compare with National Animal Stereotypes, Stock Animal Behavior, and Stock Animal Diet, which this can also have some overlap with.
For more coherent list of jobs that animals are commonly portrayed as working in, see the analysis page.

Bojack Horseman makes plenty use of Animal Stereotypes for jokes and gags, so this particular subtrope naturally comes into play sometimes.
"Bojack Hates the Troops" revolves around Bojack's petty dispute with a man known as "Neal McBeal the Navy Seal"; just as that punny title implies, Neal McBeal is an anthropomorphic seal and US Navy veteran of the Afghanistan War. Though the Ambiguous Syntax makes it unclear about whether or not he was specifically a member of the Navy SEALs special forces unit.

Early in the film, one of the cartoon characters seen is a pelican postman.
Judge Doom's henchmen are weasel crooks.
The Ink and Paint Club is a speakeasy-style establishment staffed by bowtie-wearing penguin waiters. They're not very competent, though — when private eye Eddie Valiant orders a drink "on the rocks," it's served with an actual rock in the glass instead of ice.
The club's bouncer is a Killer Gorilla.

Zootopia:
Played straight with Judy Hopps' parents, as well as many of the other residents of Bunnyburrow, who are rabbits that work as farmers. Judy herself averts this, however, as she aspires to be a police officer.
The Zootopia Police Department is almost entirely made up of large and intimidating animals, both predators and prey. Some of them include rhinos, an elephant, a buffalo, a lion, a tiger, a bear, and a wolf. When Judy first joins the force, she struggles to be taken seriously among them, due to being a small rabbit.
Some minor characters seen at one point are construction worker beavers.
Duke Weaselton is a weasel that is portrayed as a thief and bootlegger.
Nick Wilde, a fox, is portrayed as a crafty con artist. Played for Drama when it's revealed that he turned to this lifestyle after getting bullied in his childhood just for being a fox, and decided that he was going to be a con artist if that's how the world saw him.
Played for Laughs with Zootopia's Department of Motor Vehicles (or rather, DMZ — it's not clear what the acronym stands for, but it is clearly legally distinct), an institution that in real life has a reputation for agonizingly slow service forcing people to wait for hours — so it's staffed by sloths who waste Nick and Judy's time.

Blacksad:
Zigzagged overall: Some animals have a profession their species make them suited for (a beaver architect, bear, rhino and crocodile henchmen, German Shepherd cop), others that are unexpected (a koala ringmaster, a jackal FBI agent, a (heroic) hyena lawyer), and some are on either side (Blacksad and Hitler are both cats, one fox is a cop and another is a racist murderer)... Further muddying the waters is the fact that discrimination seems based more on origin than species: The Klan's equivalent has all sorts of (white-furred) animals like polar bears, owls, goats...
The In-Universe B-Movie Blacksad has to watch while waiting for a witness playes it straight: the president is a bald eagle, the general is a lion, the scientist is an anteater...

Animal Crossing:
Redd is a fox who sells the player various expensive goods. However, some of these items are just common items or forged art pieces sold at an inflated price, making him a fox con-man.
Booker and Copper are a pair of dogs who are either police officers or guards (depending on the game).
Orville and Wilbur are a humorous take on this trope; birds acting as pilots isn't unexpected… except these are dodo birds, birds that are famous for the fact that they can't fly.
Pelly, Phyllis, and Pete are pelicans who work at a post office.

Part of the setting of Eclipse Phase is that there's plenty of uplifted animals around, whom the game treats in all seriousness as an occasionally-discriminated, occasionally-fetishized minority. It's remarked that animal stereotypes are one of many problems they have to deal with: people tend to assume orcas are creepy psychos, whales are puzzling mystics, dolphins are these funny playful fellas, bonobos are sex fiends, and so on. More often than not it's subverted (because, you know, these are stereotypes, not hard facts), but Stealthy Cephalopod is played more-or-less straight as there's a genuine mafia run by a bunch of creepy, secretive octopi.

Some early strips of Pearls Before Swine showed a pair of hyenas invoking this trope by pretending to be funeral directors, while repeatedly asking Zebra to send them any dead relatives of his so that they could eat them.

Tail Concerto involves Dog Police chasing literal cat-burglars (whom are also Sky Pirates). Drama occurs when the top police dog and leader of the cat thieves, recognize eachother from their childhood and their old attraction starts reigniting!

Sing:
Two common jobs associated with gorillas are played straight regarding Marcus and his son, Johnny. Marcus and his gang of fellow gorillas are imposing criminals. However, Johnny wants to be a musician.
A few of the cops in the movie are portrayed as anthropomorphic rhinos.

Carry On: Kathy is a hyena and a journalist who originally wrote obituaries before the plot advanced. Her father is a mortician who often, shall we say, brings clients home for dinner. Her older sister Sandy seems to buck the trend by being an EMT, except that she has been known to eat patients who didn't make it to the hospital. Later on though, we see a kingdom in Africa ruled by hyenas (Kathy and Sandy being third-generation Americans) and they seem to be more of a Proud Warrior Race who hire themselves out as mercenaries.
