If you like animals, consider starting a pet sitting business from your own home. You can start from scratch or use an online platform like Rover, where you can post your profile. Of course, Rover checks all applications first. Once you’re on board, you can advertise your services and set your own prices and availability.
For example, you could put a size limit on pets you’ll babysit in case you’re no longer able to handle overly large or energetic pets on a leash. When setting your prices on a network, remember that you won’t get to keep all of it. For example, on Rover, 80 percent is yours to keep, and 20 percent goes toward maintaining the site.
