📖 The Hustle
Drop in on cats while owners are at work or on short trips. Scoop litter, refill food and water, and give 20 minutes of playtime. Cat visits are quick ($15-20 each) and stack easily. Most clients book recurring weekday visits. Cats are low-maintenance — perfect if you prefer a calmer side hustle.
🚀 First Step
Sign up on Meowtel and Rover, then post flyers in your apartment building or neighborhood bulletin board advertising cat check-in visits.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Bundle 3-4 visits in the same apartment complex for efficiency
- Always send a photo of the full food bowl and clean litter box
- Keep a spare key system — use a lockbox or coded entry when possible
