Highland Park - Dog Walker
by Julie Costa-Malcolm 28 May '14

28 May '14

Kind and energetic teen seeks opportunities to care for your four-legged family members. My 15-year-old son, Quinn, is interested in earning some money as a dog walker. He has experience caring for dogs small and large (as well as cats, ferrets, and chickens). He's in school right now, so is only available in the afternoons and evenings (and weekends). Starting in mid-June, he'll be available for morning walks too. He can also do vacation pet sitting. Email for details: julzlady(a)gmail.com Julie Costa-Malcolm Heberton Street

I am looking for an appraiser for up to six pieces of art in my home. They are oil paintings, two to four of which I hope to sell and the others, just for my knowledge and for insurance purposes.
