Hey folks - this is a great oppertunity to earn some extra cash.
I moved to Paris in March 2005, and I started dog-walking in June for this guy Dan. Dan is an American, from Chicago, and lives in the 11th near metro "Nation," (but actually closer to Avron, if you're taking the 2). He has a beautiful siberian huskey named Lyra who needs to be walked 3-4 times a week, anytime between the hours of 12h-15h. The walks should be about half an hour, just around the neighborhood. Fill up her water bowl, and that's it!
It was a great job (and still is, I'll be doing it through December), but I'm going to be starting language school in January (fingers crossed) and won't be able to keep it up. He pays about 7 Euro a walk, or 85 Euros a month (if you're walking the dog 3 times a week). I know it's not much, but that extra cash really helped me out for a while... covered my carte oranage for the month, plus a few movies. It doesn't take up too much time during the day, and it was a nice excuse to go on long walks with a wonderful dog. I've also done some dog-sitting for Dan on weekends, and made a decent amount of money for doing that.
I told Dan that I would look around for people to recommend to him, and I thought I'd try this group first. The dog is small for a siberian huskey, but obviously, if you think larger dogs are scary, this isn't for you.
Comment if you have any questions!
