It depends.. what resources do you have?
If you have high speed internet and laptop: there are good work that you can find online, or you can look for small time writing jobs that you can just email your articles and they will send you payment (make sure you study those sites to avoid being scammed). In this way, your weekend wont be as much tiring at to your mon-friday job.
Do you like Dogs? How about aside from walking for them, giving them a bath. Sending those postcards are cute too, you just have to make it more creative. How about a really cute picture of a dog and cat to get the attention of those dog ownersIf you are leaning on dog walking--think of anything else you can add with that service as to maximize your time and to your clients. Say, Dogwalking + Bath, Dogwalking and Play. Etc.
Housekeeping for other houses and Laundry/Ironing are also good services that your neighbors might be interested at.Mr. Mulla0 -
Dog Walking is an excellent idea but being the owner of two and working full time your audience will be people who work during the day and need you to drive to their homes, access their house, sometimes stay indoors with them, play, groom and walk..
You will require public liability insurance and also need to take into account your hourly rate - will this cover your petrol to commute to the dog owners house.. then to a decent and safe area to walk the dog/s and back again and then to the next one or home.
Alos take into account costs for extra leads, car cages/travel boxes/harnesses/water bowls/poo bags/treats.. and how many dogs you can walk at one time.. there is usually a limit and you also have to take into account the types of dogs you will physically and mentally be able to deal with at one time i.e. 5 shitzu's??? or 2 great danes??!!!
personally if I had had the money I would have paid for my dogs to be out and about for about 2-3 hours per working day .. I enquired about this and because I had two I got a discount.. the collection and transporting to walking areas and between other dogs homes was approx 1.5 hours with 30 minutes to walk.. the price for this was £10 for both dogs..
goood luck and I am the same as you.. if I had the time to do this job I would love to its fantastic..!!!!0
