List of Pet Friendly Work at Home Ideas

Pet Sitting

Many pet owners don't want to board their four-legged family members. They'd rather they could keep them at home. It's less stress for the pet and for the pet owner. Having someone come into their home and check on the pet(s) or even stay at their home and house sit as well is extremely popular. Try signing up on a platform like DogVacay to offer your pet sitting services.

As well, Care.com has a full portal for care of all kinds, including pet care. You can fill out your profile and state your experience and what pet services you will offer.

Could Your Dog Be the Next Social Media Sensation?

Could your dog earn an income greater than you've ever earned? It's possible. Check out my post, Make Money with Your Dog for more details on that.

Create an Online Pet Store

Have you ever taken a look at all the wonderful items you can buy on Etsy for pet owners and their pets. There are so many fun and unique items. You could open your own “pet store” on Etsy and offer something too. I've seen everything from artists that offer pet portraits to cute dog tag necklaces with pet names and paw prints on them. Sit down and brainstorm ideas of what you could offer with your own personal twist. Many are making a full-time income with their Etsy store. Make a list of things that interest you or fall within your skillset.
