Is there much weekend demand for walking?

Can you explain Amazon? Lyft and Uber I understand (although I would never drive my kids around for hours with strangers in the car, so that's a no go for me).

Home Depot or other retail cashier. Work part time on the days you don't have your kids, if you split custody.

Its mindless and I just sit in front of the TV every night after my kids do to bed and wrap. Last year I made 780.00. Not enough to retire but enough to pay for my own Christmas.


So smart!


I would love that service!! I hate wrapping.

I work for a local dog walking company when I'm not at the regular job and can easily bring in an extra 700-900 per month.

Depending on your living situation, you may just be able to market yourself to your neighbors for house and pet sittting. I live in a townhome community and would absolutely LOVE to be able to use someone right here to watch the dog or house while we are out of town. Put up fliers in some common area or look for neighborhood Facebook or Nextdoor groups.

I've made some decent spending money doing surveys and tasks on this website: https://www.instagc.com/732296. It's something you can do after the kids go to bed.

Babysitting is one idea that was mentioned in another thread.

Here are a few other that come to mind:
-- Become an AirBnB host
-- Rent out a car parking spot
-- House sit
-- Pet sit

The first two aren't options in my case, unfortunately. Does anyone have experience with the other two and have any suggestions for how to go about building a clientele (I am thinking of signing up on Care.com, Dogvacay.com and/or Rover.com), or have any other ideas?
