Taking care of pets while making money for it is probably one of the most exciting and interesting ways to be making money. With remote working become increasingly popular, it’s no wonder pet boarding service provider has been increasing.
Yes anyone can do it!
It may surprise you that you don’t need a license to take care of pets unless you are doing it for grooming, training, and transporting them. But if you are interested to get these licenses, you can expect to be paid more as a service provider.
Why I love this Side Hustle
Many of you guys who follow me know that I am a digital nomad, I work almost every day at home. Working 8~12 hours a day at home can be draining to one’s soul. Seriously!
What better way to enjoy work than having a pet to take care of?
It forces me to go out of the house every 3~4 hours for a walk and I get to exercise as well. I guess that’s a win for me!
How Much I Make From Pet Boarding
Here are my rates for the services I provide:
- Pet walk~ $20/hr
- Pet sitting~ $50/session
- Pet Daycare~ $40/session
- Pet Boarding~ $55/day
Overall, I would have at least 1 or 2 pets at my home every day which makes me around $80~110 per day or $2,400 per month. Not bad for a side hustle if you ask me but not a full-time income.
If you are good enough or have experience in taking care of pets, I have seen better pet carers charging way higher prices for their service. It’s crazy to me how many clients they are receiving since many owners treat their pets as their children and are willing to spend hundreds upon thousands of dollars.
Here are the potential upwards earnings you can be made:
- Pet walk~ $50/hr
- Pet sitting~ $110/session
- Pet Daycare~ $80/session
- Pet Boarding~ $200/day
Based on that amount, a full month’s worth of pet boarding service is equal to $6,000 earning a month just for 1 pet a day. That’s insane!
