Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to make some extra cash by house sitting and/or pet sitting.

I am a responsible, neat/clean, young professional. I grew up with four dogs and two cats, and I worked for awhile at an animal hospital. But most of all, I just miss living with animals (my roommate is allergic!), so please, if you know anyone looking for a house/pet sitter, pass on my information!

My Livejournal is marsinthestars. Thanks!

It is anticipated that the Planning Board will render its decision at their next scheduled meeting in late March.
