Hello, good day, I am Abigail, an alumni of the college, graduated in 2013. I have
an aunt, Elan, who is moving to the college area after the lock-down for the Covid-19
pandemic is over, she will be needing a pet sitter who will be sitting her dogs, bathing
and walking them. She is offering $400 weekly. If you are interested or know a student/staff
who might be interested in this position, have them email her
( Elan ) via elanreynolds@outlook.com.
Thank you,
Abigail.
