If you know someone who might enlist your services as a babysitter or dog walker, then grab the chance! Maybe your neighbor would be going out of town and couldn’t find a babysitter right away. Offer you help and you’ll earn money in an instant. If you are living close to a park then you can stroll around befriending people with their pets and ask if they would want you to pet-sit or work as a dog walker for their pooch when they’re sick or not around. These are great ways on how to make extra money without spending anything.

You can also work as a driver or errands person for a senior citizen living within or near your area.
