Side work in Riga is no longer just courier delivery. People are constantly looking for help with cleaning, small repairs, furniture assembly or moving — and they are ready to pay directly, without agencies in between. If you have a few free hours a week, you can turn them into steady extra income.
Which services are ordered most often
- Apartment and office cleaning — usually 8–15 € per hour.
- Small repairs ("handyman"): a shelf, a tap, a socket — from 15–30 € per visit.
- Furniture assembly — from 20–30 € per wardrobe.
- Moving and transport help — 10–15 € per hour per person.
- Garden work: lawn, hedge, leaf removal — 10–20 € per hour.
Prices are indicative: customers state a budget in each task, and providers offer their own price.
What you need to start
No office and no investment: a phone, a tidy description of what you can do, and a couple of photos of your work are enough. Start with one or two categories you are strong in — it makes collecting your first reviews easier.
Where to find your first orders
On Doo.lv customers post tasks themselves: what needs to be done, where, and with what budget. You browse tasks in your city, respond to the ones that fit, and agree directly — the platform takes no commission from your payment. Turn on notifications to hear about new tasks in your categories first.
Do not forget the formalities
Regular income from services in Latvia must be declared: the simplest option for side work is registering economic activity with the VID tax service and paying tax under the simplified regime. It can be done online in one evening.
