I think  you guys are going to like today's Side Hustle story. Today's story is about Dalmy from Chicago, IL.

Dalmy is actually a girl I know and a friend of mine. After attending school down state Illinois for a few years I moved back to Chicago and had a few classes to finish up at a local college. I met Dalmy in a communications class and we became friends.

After graduating she moved out to Colorado with a friend for a few years. After a few years of living and working out in Colorado she decided to move back to Chicago.

She had been planning the move for  a while and had some money saved up so she was planning on taking a little time off to settle in after her move, to catch up with some old friends, and to just take a bit of a sabatical and slowly look for just the right job.

She quickly became bored however and though she'd explore some ways to occupy her time and also make a few bucks on the side while she was between jobs.

She considered bartending but decided against it. A friend of hers was renting a room on AirBNB making some money but she didn't really like the idea of strangers in her home.

She was reading Reddit one day and heard about a site called Dog Vacay where you could get paid for boarding pets in your home. Pet caretakers could make a few extra bucks and pet owners got the peace of mind of knowing their dog was staying in a home with a dog lover as opposed to some overcrowded kennel with barking dogs. 

Dalmy setup a profile studying what other successful pet watchers were doing and a few weeks in started getting bookings. After a few months she was making $3500 per month off a combination of in home pet care and also dog walking and doggie checkins. 

Now this business could grow larger and could probably make more money but Dalmy is happy with what the business is. She makes a comfortable living, she cares for dogs in her own home, she doesn't have to manage employees, manage a payroll, etc, she gets to do the part she loves which is taking care of dogs.

I think what's kind of cool about today's story is that literally anyone can do something like this. If you were interested in giving this a try you could literally setup a profile on Dog Vacay or other sites this afternoon and get started.
