Job description: Sit on pets. Haha, just kidding!!! Take care of pets while their humans are out on vac. Clean up after them, give them their daily food, and play with them!
Job salary: $5/day for cats (includes 1 visit per day) and $15/day for dogs (includes 3-4 visits per day). Rates vary for other unusual animals, but they are usually priced according to how many visits per day are required.
How to get this job: Word of mouth works great. Just let your neighbors with pets know that you petsit, and maybe make up a few fliers and give them out. People love having nice petsitters who will visit their home and do a great job, because many animals don't enjoy getting boarded.

Other tips: I only petsit for people who live within 5 minutes of my house, or the drive makes the job not worth it. Make sure you know where people live before you commit to a job! And, it is usually a good idea to ask to meet the animals before you say "yes" to the job, so that you can see if you really want to petsit for them, and to change your rates according to how much work the pets will be. Don't give in to a neighbor who is a Scrooge - your time is valuable!!! Think about how many hours you will spend taking care of the pets each day, and use minimum wage as a guideline for rates if need be.
