There’s never a bad time to make more money – regardless of what you already do for a living – so a side business is a great idea if you’re an innovative and motivated individual with a love of cash!

Creating a side business (and essentially becoming an entrepreneur in the process) can be incredibly rewarding and lucrative – and it doesn’t even have to be overly difficult!

The biggest dilemma, however, is deciding what kind of business you should actually start – but we’re here to help!

There are countless options that are relatively easy to get into. Of course, some do require significant time, effort and money to get off the ground, but we’ve listed a wide array of options that should include something for everyone.

Here are twenty-six great ideas for side businesses…

26. Dog Walking

People love spending money on their dogs – even when they can’t be with them – and that includes paying other people to take their beloved canines for walkies when they’re at work or otherwise unavailable.

Setting up a dog walking business is easy and a great way to earn good money – and you can have as many doggies on your books as you can manage. If the owners are okay with it, you can even take multiple pups on a walk at the same time to maximize your income.

25. Pet Sitting

If you like animals, but would prefer to stay in rather than walk outside, why not set up a pet sitting business?

Some people love their pets so much that they just want people to be around for them when they’re at work, on vacation or otherwise engaged – in order to feed them, play with them and generally keep an eye on them. Pet sitting could see you looking after various types of animals, from cats and hamsters to goldfish and lizards!
