Got a fenced yard? You can rent your yard to dog owners, who are looking for a private dog park.
Sniffspot
A site called Sniffspot allows you to list a profile, replete with photographs and a list of amenities. (And, realize that when it comes to dogs, “amenities” are things like a kiddie pool they can jump in, tennis balls, and shade.) You set the rates, which typically range from $5 per dog, per hour to $30 per hour, and your calendar of when your yard is available. Hosts say they can earn more than $1,000 a month. Learn more about SniffSpot here.
Swimply
Swimply was built around renting out your pool. But has expanded to renting out any part of your yard. You set the rates; the site takes a commission when customers book. Read our full review on Swimply here.
