Lets first start by getting your brain into money making idea mode, you will need to ask yourself: What do I really love doing? What am I great at? What skills do I have? Here are just a few brilliant ideas to get you started and I know you will come up with many more:

Doggy Daycare: Do you have experience caring for your own pampered pooch? I am sure you know people in your neighbourhood who work all day and leave their darling dog alone. You could offer a Doggie Daycare Service: walking, bathing, feeding, playing, cleaning dog run, etc. Doggie Daycares are super sizzling hot this summer and a great way to make a ton of cash and also have a fantastic time. You can expect to make from $30 - $50 per eight-hour day; hey that’s a nice chunk of change.

Certified Babysitter: Babysitters are constantly in very high demand and during summer demand skyrockets. You can expect to make anywhere from $4 to $10 per hour as a Certified Babysitter. Be sure to get specialized babysitter training through a Certified Course. Your local YWCA, Red Cross, local community league or even your school will have these certified courses available. You will really increase your hiring demand and wage if you become a Certified Babysitter.

Birthday Party Planner: Start a Birthday Party Prep Service. You send or hand deliver invites, set up decorations, be lead during party games, supervise party guests, assist with serving food, etc. If you possess a special talent as a magician or clown, you could even earn extra money by providing entertainment. You could make as much as $100 for a two-hour party.

If you're planning a cross-country move by air, call airlines first -- before you make any reservations -- and find out which ones allow pets as "animal passengers." Approximately 750,000 pets make airline trips every year. Most of major airlines, such as American, Delta, Continental and Northwest, will allow animal passengers provided outdoor temperatures are within a certain range. Pets may be brought on board with their owners as "carry-on baggage," or placed within cargo section of plane as "checked baggage," weather permitting. Airlines also have established regulations regarding number of pets permitted per flight, both on board and in cargo section; as well as number of pets permitted per passenger; and size and weight limitations for carry on and checked baggage. If at all possible, book a direct flight to avoid additional stress of plane changes.

If you're contemplating having your pet travel in cargo section of plane, you may want to consider first that because this area is in belly of plane, you won't have access to your pet at any time during flight. While cargo area is both heated and pressurized, this area isn't lit, so unless you tranquilize your pet first, experience is likely to be traumatic. And you should note that safety of some varieties of tranquilizers has been questioned. These substances can have a dramatically different effect upon your pet at high altitudes.
