During the Spring Festival, pet care hour workers earned 100 yuan a day
thanks to the many pet care demands in the market.

The city-based Eastday.com reports many people travelled or returned to
their hometowns during the Spring Festival and had to leave their pets at
home. Pet care part-timers were the best choice to take care of the
lonely pets.

According to a home service center in Putuo district, they hired 154
part-timers of this kind, with demand far outstripping supply.

An employee from the center said the part-timers could earn 80 to 100
yuan a day, adding it was not easy to get a job since pet owners usually
require service people to have experience in pet care. With the help of
the local women's union, the pet care center recruited a batch of trained
part-timers, 80 percent of them locals, to fulfill the supply gap.
