Aside from all the cute pooches, the best thing about becoming a dog walker is that you can set your own schedule. Offer your own dog-walking services on a site like Craigslist or register with a trusted service like Wag! or Rover to get your side hustle income started.

One man’s trash is another one’s treasure. So start making extra moolah from home and sign up to be an online seller on a site such as eBay, Etsy, or Poshmark.

Got a car? Then we’ve got the side gig for you. Sign up to drive for Uber or Lyft in your downtime and start making money on your drive home from work if you want to. You can turn your availability on and off whenever you want, and even better, both companies offer “Destination Mode” options for drivers, so you only have to accept riders who are already located along your route if you prefer.

If you’re lucky enough to have a spare room in a good location, consider renting it out on Airbnb for extra income. Or, if you really need some money in a pinch, you can rent out your entire apartment and just crash at a friend’s for a week or two to make some fast cash.

Have a car but don’t want to use it to drive people around for extra money? Sign up to deliver for PostMates or UberEats and all you’ll have to do is pick up and drop off a food order (on your own schedule). Plus, bicycles and scooters are okay to use, too!
