BOHEMIA, NY — When he's not attending class at Connetquot High School, gearing up for college, competing in swim meets or at Model UN debates, 17-year-old Robert Subtirelu is trying to keep up with Cosmo.

And there's also Duke.

And any other dog that may come through the door.

In his free time, the teen works for a company called DogVacay, an online boarding service that pairs pet owners with people who babysit their dogs in their own homes. He makes roughly $33 per day, per dog.

Nearly all of the $14,000 he's made working for DogVacay in the past few years he's put toward a foundation he created called PACE- Project for Children's Education.

His foundation helps fund a community center called Konojel in Guatemala which provides nutrition and scholarships for eight elementary and middle school students.

Over the summer, Subtirelu had the chance to visit the school and see exactly where the money is going.

"The message I want to send is that anyone can do this. It can be as simple as taking care of a french bulldog, or a black lab," he said.
