Overnight work follows travel. The MOE school holidays, from late May to June and from late November to the end of December, are when many families go away, so open your calendar for those dates early.

Pet sitting income is taxable. IRAS asks you to file a return if your net trade income as a self-employed person, including platform work, was more than S$6,000 in the previous year, or your total income was more than S$22,000. Keep a record of bookings and costs.
