How to Make Money Fast as a Teen: Walk Dogs for Money

When I was younger, one of my first quick and easy money earning jobs that I could do at my teenager age was to walk the neighborhood dogs around the block. I would walk some of my neighbors’ dogs in the mornings before school or after school Monday through Friday, while during the weekends and summer vacation I would be available to walk some of my neighbors’ dogs all day long. I was not getting paid a whole lot, especially compared to what I make now while blogging and writing books. Then again, a few dollars in my pocket today was a fortune back then for myself.

When I was walking the neighborhood dogs, I begin to create simple schedule’s for each of my neighbor’s whom I was walking their dog. If there were any of my neighbors who were on my way from my home from my bus stop, then that would give me another customer or client, to walk their dog. If the dogs were friendly with other dogs and people, then I would occasionally walk multiple dogs at once, killing two birds with one stone so to speak. Not only is walking dogs around the block fun, but with a little extra money in my pocket that I didn’t already have before was an added bonus!
