Looking for some summer jobs to help save for our honeymoon. I'm a teacher and love kids and helping them discovering a love of learning. I'm also very organized and clean. I've been petting sitting for numerous families over the past few years. I enjoy taking dogs on walks! I have many references if needed.

It took many years to convince my parents, but we ended up with a dwarf rabbit named Thumper and 2 Jack Russels named Jack and Jill! We had them all for about 10 years. Unfortunately, they have all since passed away-...

I have watched two dogs while house sitting over the course of two years for a week at a time and occasional weekends. Took them for walks 3 times daily or as needed. Fed them breakfast and dinner as part of their routine. Can provide a resource if needed.
