A Perfect Side Hustle if You Work From Home-Doggie Sitting
The pandemic has seen an increase in dogs suffering from anxiety and abandonment issues, with a fair proportion having to be medicated with anxiety medication.
This can be attributed to owners returning to the office to work and leaving their pets home alone all day. It is worse for pets acquired at the start of the pandemic and not used to the separation.
Doggie daycare
With dog daycare businesses popping up everywhere, they are an excellent short-term solution as the cost is usually prohibitive to do more than one day a week or so. Some doggie daycare facilities charge anything from $60 to $80 per day, and I believe a less expensive opportunity is available for those working from home.
Dog sitting is a work-from-home (WFH) solution
If you WFH three, four or even five days per week, doggie sitting other people's dogs is an excellent side hustle for pet lovers. Choosing the right dog to look after in your home office is probably the essential decision to make if you become a doggie sitter.
Nothing worse than a yapper if you are on Zoom calls, as are dogs that bark at every sound they hear outside. Ideally, you want to care for placid dogs that sleep most of the day and are content lying by your side.
