📖 The Hustle
Watch one or two dogs in your own home during the day while owners are at work. You do not need a yard — just a safe indoor space and time for potty breaks. Charge $25-40 per dog per day. If you already work from home, this is an easy way to earn extra money while going about your normal routine.
🚀 First Step
Check your lease or HOA rules for pet policies, then create a Rover listing for doggy daycare with photos of your home and any fenced areas.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Start with just one dog at a time until you know the rhythm
- Get pet insurance or confirm Rover's coverage before your first booking
- Create a dedicated puppy-proofed room or gated area for safety
