Pay rent? Not me! I house and pet-sit for a living…
By Emma Higgins, 29, from Cheltenham
Housemates. They can be a right pain! Eating your cereal, not flushing the loo…
But not mine!
Because I tend to share my homes with dogs.
In fact, to date, I’ve shared around 15 different houses with dogs as roomies since I began my unusual way of living in 2010.
It all began when I set up a travel website after graduating from Lincoln University with a degree in English and Media.
Wanting to be a writer, I decided to combine writing with my love of travel.
It was when I worked in Canada and Thailand – both times in digital marketing – that I realised people who were also away from home wanted someone to look after their pad.
