One woman is sharing how she makes the equivalent of an extra \u00a33,400 thanks to her unique side hustle.<\/p>\n
Emma O\u2019Hara, 28, from Dublin, works as a solicitor as her day job but is a pet sitter which helps boost her income.<\/p>\n
With free time on her hands, the young woman is able to successfully manage her main career and her hustle on the side.<\/p>\n
Her new venture only started in September 2022 and came about when she found a pet-sitting app online.<\/p>\n
The side hustler makes around \u20ac4,000 (\u00a33,429) a year and brings in \u20ac400 (\u00a3342) to \u20ac500 (\u00a3s428) a month.<\/p>\n

I had free time so I thought I may as well get a side hustle.<\/p>\n \u201cI googled and found an app. People come to you. You can be your own boss. It like a dating but for pet sitters.

I got and feed and water the cats and if they are friendly I can play with them.<\/p>\n \u201cOthers are a bit older and are happy for a bit of company. I take the dogs out for a walk. It\u2019s the best.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the solicitor, her side hustle has been beneficial in other ways outside of bolstering her finances.<\/p>\n As such, the full-time solicitor recommends that other people take on pet-sitting as a potential hustle.<\/p>\n Ms O\u2019Hara added: \u201cYou build up relationships with people. They\u2019re all animal people. It\u2019s been such a lovely, hugely positive experience.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the animals are so different. The dogs recognize me \u2013 it\u2019s so lovely. A Mexican rescue dog I look after – the owner wanted someone on board to get her used to more strangers.<\/p>\n \u201cAt first the owners came with me on the walk. Now she comes bounding towards me. That\u2019s really rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\nWoman makes $19,000 thanks to party side hustle<\/h3>\n
