Airbnb
This app is for more adventurous and trustworthy people. Since Airbnb launched in 2009, it has helped more than six million people across 90 different countries find a place to stay for any occasion. To begin, create a profile (it has to be verified to ensure safety) and send a message to the host to book instantly or submit a request for a later booking. The host can utilize a spare bedroom for extra cash for a complete stranger. While this sounds questionable, Airbnb offers users a good alternative to a pricey hotel.
Rover
This app is essentially just like Wag. The process revolves entirely around taking care of other users’ dogs by walking them, boarding them at your house, or doing drop-in visits to make sure they are happy and healthy while the owner is away. The app includes a thorough background check to make sure there are no scammers or individuals who could potentially harm pets. Once the profile is accepted, you are ready to get booked by your first client and make money! For most users, this is the perfect job because you get paid to work around animals all while having fun and exercising. Most users also stated that this is their main source of income, so it is definitely possible to make good money. As a sitter, you can set your own rates of the services you are able to do (the app takes out 20% of what you make to keep the app in cycle). Try this app today and make money while playing with dogs!
