The 12 Best Side Gigs for People Who Love Pets

puppy

Those of us who wish we could spend more of our days with animals are in luck: Today, there are plenty of viable pet-related occupations in which you could actually make a decent income.

The best part? You can start many of these gigs on your own without having to quit your day job. For instance, becoming a dog walker may just be a matter of meeting the right dog owners in your neighborhood.

Of course, there are also some pet-related gigs that require a lot more time and a much more refined skill set. For this reason, it’s crucial to determine what kind of work best suits you before diving in. Here are some basic questions to start with:

  1. Do I need formal education or certification for this line of work?
  2. Is there a need for this service in my immediate area?
  3. How steep are the startup costs?
  4. Is there competition? If so, how much?
  5. Would I be a good fit for the role?
  6. How much money can I earn doing this?
  7. How much time can I devote each week to this job?
