Need cash? Try renting out your yard as a dog park
ktla ^ | David Lazarus

David Adams came up with the idea for Sniffspot, the dog-park service, about four years ago.

His wife had related to him how, while traveling with their dog, she was unable to find a suitable place for the little guy to do his business and blow off steam.

“I put up a really simple website and it’s just built from there,” Adams said.

Sniffspot now lists yards in 1,500 cities worldwide. Los Angeles is one of the company’s fastest-growing markets. San Diego is among those with the most bookings.

Sniffspot is one of a handful of apps allowing people to turn portions of their home into profit centers.

Most Sniffspot hosts charge between $5 and $15 an hour for access to their yards. The company takes a cut of nearly 30% of whatever you earn.

If you have a large enough yard for a dog park, why not start up a doggy day care?

Pay a Democrat $1 and ask him to stand and pretend to be a fire hydrant.

Then you’ll need to hire a Shovel Man to keep the yard somewhat clear of stinkbombs.
Or sell the waste for fertilizer.

David Lazarus works for KTLA just as Mickey works for Disney. Both companies are fictional, fantasy worlds for morons. Proof: KTLA 10p weekday news gets 135,000 viewers. That is 1% of Los Angeles viewers.

You’ll be collecting alright. With luck, you may even collect the rent!

At least this way, you get to charge your neighbors for letting their dogs poop on your lawn.

I think they will be liability issues. Homeowners insurance companies won’t like this.

A guy in my town works the opposite side. He has four pickups in his driveway advertising dog crap pick up, both commercial and residential. I don’t know him personally, but business seems good. 10 years ago he had only one truck.

The business name is “Underdogs.”

“If you have a large enough yard for a dog park, why not start up a doggy day care?”

Then you have to care for the animals. With this you get money and just for letting them in and out.

Ah yes, the old "keep the cat from escaping" trick.

Best of luck.

You’d still have to care for their deposits.
