📖 The Hustle
Drive pets to vet checkups, grooming appointments, or daycare drop-offs for owners who cannot get away from work. You only need a car and a pet-safe travel crate. Charge $20-30 per ride plus mileage. Great for seniors and busy professionals. Appointments are usually scheduled in advance, so you can plan your week.
🚀 First Step
Post on Nextdoor offering pet taxi service for vet and groomer runs and buy a basic travel crate from a thrift store or Facebook Marketplace.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Keep a medium travel crate and seat cover in your car at all times
- Confirm appointment details with the vet or groomer before pickup
- Text the owner a photo of their pet safely dropped off
