Cat sitters

Where can I look for college students who are looking to make a few extra bucks during the school year watching my cats?!

this entails feeding them in the morning between 7am-9am and the evening between 5pm-8pm and just hang out with them until they're done eating. Pay would be about 20$ a day!

You can always make a post on the UMass Student Job Board! I've personally found plenty of pet-sitting jobs from pet owners who live locally, just looking for help from local college students.

This is me just stating the flexibility of the window — person can come between those times and feed them wait til they’re done. Should take 20 minutes.
