Dog Walking
Dog walking is a brilliant local side hustle — especially if you love animals. Most dog owners pay £10–£15 per 30-minute walk. You can easily walk 2–3 dogs at once once you've built up some regulars. Advertise on Nextdoor, local Facebook groups, or the Rover app to get your first clients.

- 1
Create a profile on Rover or advertise in local Facebook groups and Nextdoor
- 2
Offer a free meet-and-greet with the dog and owner to build trust
