Free evenings and weekends can bring in money — especially if you can do what people need every week. Here are seven services with steady demand in Riga that are easiest to start with.
1. Cleaning
The biggest category. A maintenance clean takes 2–3 hours and usually pays 8–15 € per hour. Perfect for regular side work: a happy client comes back every week.
2. Handyman
Hanging a shelf, replacing a tap, fixing a socket. A visit typically costs 15–30 € and takes under an hour. All you need is a toolkit and attention to detail.
3. Furniture assembly
Customers often do not want to assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture themselves. A wardrobe pays from 20–30 €, and an experienced assembler manages two in an evening.
4. Moving help
Boxes, furniture, staircases — extra hands are always needed. It pays 10–15 € per hour per person, with most orders on weekends.
5. Garden and yard
Lawn mowing, hedge trimming, leaf removal. Seasonal but generous work: 10–20 € per hour, with especially high demand in spring and autumn.
6. Tutoring
If you know mathematics, languages or music, a lesson pays 10–25 € — and you can teach online from home.
7. Pet care
Dog walking and pet sitting while owners are away. Modest but steady pay and grateful clients.
