‘I made a £3.5K from my pet-sitting side hustle – on top of being a solicitor’
One woman is sharing how she makes the equivalent of an extra £3,400 thanks to her unique side hustle.
Emma O’Hara, 28, from Dublin, works as a solicitor as her day job but is a pet sitter which helps boost her income.
With free time on her hands, the young woman is able to successfully manage her main career and her hustle on the side.
Her new venture only started in September 2022 and came about when she found a pet-sitting app online.
The side hustler makes around €4,000 (£3,429) a year and brings in €400 (£342) to €500 (£s428) a month.

She spends her time primarily looking after cats and dogs that live near to where she is located in Dublin.
For her services, Ms O’Hara charges €18 (£15.43)an hour to feed, water and walk cats and dogs.
The businesswoman explained: “I love animals. I had free time so I thought I may as well get a side hustle.
“I googled and found an app. People come to you. You can be your own boss. It like a dating but for pet sitters. It’s been a lifesaver.

“I do about three to four jobs a week. But it ebbs and flows. I got and feed and water the cats and if they are friendly I can play with them.
“Others are a bit older and are happy for a bit of company. I take the dogs out for a walk. It’s the best.”
According to the solicitor, her side hustle has been beneficial in other ways outside of bolstering her finances.
As such, the full-time solicitor recommends that other people take on pet-sitting as a potential hustle.
Ms O’Hara added: “You build up relationships with people. They’re all animal people. It’s been such a lovely, hugely positive experience.
“All the animals are so different. The dogs recognize me – it’s so lovely. A Mexican rescue dog I look after – the owner wanted someone on board to get her used to more strangers.
“At first the owners came with me on the walk. Now she comes bounding towards me. That’s really rewarding.”
