My cousin sent me a message, alst minute (not really), but she is going away February 19 - 25. She will give me $50 a day to feed her 3 dogs (twice a day, and give one medication). That's $350 in my pocket, and seeing as she's family I don't have an issue, I know she would do it for me. I told her I would do it for less even.

That is good news. Every dollar is a step toward getting what you want, so this should go a ways in achieving your goal.

Yes, it will help out a little, and I will put it into my savings.

That is generous of her as a lot of times family expects you to do it for free or very much cheaper. $350.00 is a nice cushion for you to, and you know her pets so no meet and greet.

Exactly, she did say a few months ago if she needed anyone she would call me.

That is nice she is hiring you to do that, means she trust you. Some family members would just ask you to do it and not even pay anything or help you in return if you need it. I have friends that ask to look after their house while their gone but I never ask for anything in return because I'm not greedy and I don't expect anything, and when they do offer to give me something I'll sometimes not accept or sometimes I do and say thanks. Everyone is different in that category. But for you that's an easy 350 to make so that would be awesome.

I would do that for my pet dogs too. That is, hire or pay someone to feed them. I also admire your cousin for being such a thoughtful and responsible owner and I am glad that she had chosen you to do it. Sometimes we can't depend on people outside of our family. You will never be able to earn $50 a day from any site even if you don't sleep. The income is really good.

That's really nice. $50 a day is not bad at all for just feeding the dogs, especially that like animals. I think you are very lucky at work, you usually get a work while others are looking hard to get some jobs.

Ricki That is very nice, of your cousin to ask you to feed, her 3 dogs while she is away, you are so dependable when it comes, to taking care of people pets, and that is why people ask you, to look after their pets for them.

This is beneficial for both of you. You will paid for that and especially this is not hard work. And your cousin trusts you because she will give her house keys to you. You know I don't want to give a stranger a key and let them in my house, although it can be concerning about the housework.
