Save money on pet care

These days, it’s smart to barter with friends to conserve cash, such as exchanging a few of your shirts for a couple of their DVDs. Why not do the same when it comes to caring for your animal? For example, you could walk a pal’s dog once a week, and she feeds your cat when you go out of town. You won’t have to pay for a pet sitter or kennel, and your friend will get a break from her doggie duties every now and then.
