I'm 12, and I actually did this. Dogsitting. Believe it or not, you can make a lot. Then again, it depends on what exactly your idea of a lot is. I dogsat on spring break for a little cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle) and it was for a week, at $10 a day, which is very cheap compared to kennel prices. I also got their mail everyday and put their trash in and out (they were my neighbors). I set up Skype so they could see how she was doing and stuff too, which they LOVED. I should have been paid $80 becuase it was for 8 days, but they were very happy with the care of their little girlie, they gave me $100!!!!! Another way is to babysit. If you cook for them it's good money and if you took any like summer courses, especially if you sit at later hours. Then again, your 11 so idk if how late you can sit, that's your buisness, not mine, so nvm. If you live close to the store, offer to run errands for your neighbors, pick up milk at the store for them and they pay you whatever it costs plus a couple dollars. Do household chores such as:

Wash and put away dishes

Do a load of laundry/put away

Vacuum
