In this Bonus Episode Side-Hustle Spotlight, we hear from our listener Jen Tserng who is just killing it in her Side-Hustle as a dog-walker and Pet-sitter.

Jen currently makes $25 per half hour and on a good day, she can make upwards of $400.00 a day.

She informs us beginning dog-walkers can earn approximately $15 per half an hour and build their business from there.

Some of the PROS of this business are:

Freedom Flexibility Location Independent Work in your own neighborhood (or elsewhere) Work as little or as much as you want Limited only by your own availability Multiple ways to increase your hourly You can work for a company or start independently You get to LOVE on animals ALL day!

And the CONS...

You are an independent contractor/business owner and you have all of the responsibilities of one (taxes, tracking income) You have to build your business Uncertainty

But overall - your income is limited only by you!
