School-going Springs resident owns a business

Alain Conesa, a Coral Springs resident, does a lot before heading to school each morning, and not all of it has to do with studies.

For more than a year, Conesa, 18, has donned the businessman’s hat in addition to being a student at Boca Prep International School. Amazing Animalz, the company he owns, offers pet sitting, dog walking and cage cleaning services. Dogs, cats, birds, small animals, reptiles, amphibians, fish: the business covers them all.

“I start my day at 5 a.m.,” the teenager said. “By 8 a.m., I am done with work and ready for school. If I need to go to another client’s house, I do it after I come back from school. It works out pretty well.”

The teenager provides service in Coral Springs, Parkland and Tamarac. “Right now, I do all the work. When I start making enough money, I will be able to expand to other cities as well. I don’t earn much now, but when I do, I plan to hire someone to help me,” he said.
