Love animals and want to earn extra cash? Turn your passion for pets into a thriving side gig! This fun, interactive class is perfect for teens who dream of walking dogs, feeding fish, or caring for cuddly cats while making money. You’ll learn the basics of pet care, how to build trust with pet owners, set your rates, promote your services, and handle tricky situations like nervous pets. You’ll get cool handouts to keep and use anytime—no extra cost. The class is led by longtime teacher, and a young pro who started pet sitting at 13 and knows the hustle inside and out. We’ll send the webinar login info the day before, so you’re all set to join in!
