Hello Lilly,
I would check with your local animal shelters, foster homes, and post on social media if you have a local page. This way if you decide to go into a career field working with animals after school you would be able to put all your volunteer work on you resume. My sone who is 9 volunteers at the local animal shelter, they allow him to help clean kennels, walk dogs and feed them. A lot of times they will also allow him to play fetch and just run with them to get them exercise.
Reach out to local animal shelters and see if they are looking for voluteers.
Reach out to your community and see if anyone needs assistance walking, feeding or exercising their pets.
Reach out to pet shops in the area and see if they allow volunteers to assist in the stores.

Hey Lilly!
It’s awesome that you want to volunteer with animals especially when you are just 13, you’ve got some cool options which are:
Animal Shelters & Rescues
Many local shelters love having volunteers to walk dogs, play with cats, or help clean. Plus, cuddling puppies? Best job ever.
2. Pet Sitting
Offer to help neighbors or family with their pets when they’re busy. You could be the official neighborhood "Pet Whisperer!"
Foster Programs
Some animal rescue groups need volunteers to help with foster animals—think of it like a pet sleepover (minus the mess)! 👀👀
Pet Stores
Ask if your local pet shop needs help feeding small animals or cleaning tanks (bonus: you get to hang out with adorable creatures).
Community Events
Look for pet adoption days or fundraisers—they always need volunteers for fun stuff like setting up, handing out treats, or helping animals strut their stuff.
You can always ask your parents to help you contact local shelters or check websites like VolunteerMatch to find opportunities near you! Many youngsters use it to get those little opportunities so can you, I have also checked it out and even did give it a shot, there is plenty of ways to volunteer and assist in different areas. I am sure you will find your volunteering gig there too.
Remember no matter what you choose, you’re making tails wag—and that’s pretty pawsome!
Alright so Lilly, Besides hanging out with adorable animals, there are lots of fun and easy jobs you can do at 13. I thought you had want to check them out too so, Here are some ideas to earn a little cash or just help out actually!
1. Babysitting
If you love kids (and can handle a little chaos), babysitting for family friends or neighbors is a classic gig.
You can, Take a babysitting safety course to show you’re serious—plus, you’ll learn cool tricks like CPR! Which is a survival ability to learn! 😉
2. Yard Work Helper
Offer to mow lawns, pull weeds, rake leaves, or water plants. It’s simple, and people LOVE paying someone else to do it.
3. Dog Walker/Pet Care
If you’re already into animals, walking dogs or feeding pets when people are busy is a perfect job!
You could even make a cute flyer to offer your services. It will attract clients you will see!
4. House Helper
Help with tasks like organizing closets, washing cars, or taking out the trash. Some people would gladly pay you to avoid chores!
5. Tech Assistant
So, if you are Good with gadgets. Offer to help adults with things like setting up phones, fixing Wi-Fi, or even organizing digital photos.
6. Tutoring/Study Buddy
If you rock a certain subject (like math or reading), help younger kids with homework. Bonus: You get to feel like a genius!🤓
7. Craft Seller
Love making things? Sell your crafts—friendship bracelets, painted rocks, or handmade cards—at local fairs or online (with adult help).
8. Errand Runner
Offer to run small errands for neighbors—like delivering mail, picking up groceries, or walking to the post office.
9. Lemonade or Snack Stand
Old school but still fun! On a sunny day, sell lemonade, homemade cookies, or snacks. People can’t resist a tasty treat.
10. Recycling Collector
Collect cans and bottles for recycling—it's good for the planet AND your wallet!
You’ve got so many options—pick one that sounds fun and go for it! Who knows? You might just become the neighborhood CEO! 😎 All the best Lilly hope you get to find something helpful! 😉🤗
