Depending on the amount of time and effort you put in, these gigs could even pay a grand per week and often higher. And the best part is that you don’t have to quit your day job. Here are seven popular side hustles for the summer season that could pay $1,000 a week or more.
Landscaping is a popular summer side hustle that has the potential to earn $1,000 per week if you land enough hours without having to cover a ton of start-up costs. Whether you start your own small business or join a local landscaping company that’s looking for short-term help, the pay often ranges from $18 to $35 per hour or even more, depending on the market.
Mowing lawns or general yard maintenance is in high demand during the summer months, and if you make $35 an hour, that means you would have to work just under 29 hours a week, which technically means it doesn’t have to turn into a full-time affair.

Looking to get that summer bod while also making some extra dough? Becoming a mover is a way to do a 2-for-1 workout and side hustle. Moving can pay good money and it’s a great way to earn cash with a pretty flexible schedule.
There are plenty of weekend hours available if that fits around everything else you want to do this summer, or you can find moving companies that are hiring just about anywhere in the country. Though the hourly rate typically hovers just around $20, you can also count on getting tipped by many grateful customers.
Freelancing is the original side gig, whether you do it in the summertime exclusively or all year round. If you have a knack for web development, why not try to turn that into an additional money-maker (that allows you to work inside and stay cool)? The estimated pay range for this gig is wide (generally anywhere between $30 to $75 per hour) as it depends on your experience and the complexity of the project.
However, even on the lower end, you would still easily clear $1,000 a week with a part-time schedule. Make sure you leverage your skills and flexibility to maximize your hourly rates.
The average pet sitter can earn about $17 an hour for taking care of furry friends while their owners are on vacation or out to work. That rate of pay goes up — often upwards of $25 or more — depending on if there is additional care the pets need, specialized training, or the requirement to stay at home with the animal for days at a time.
