In this episode of the Lazy Wealth Creation podcast, Carl explores innovative ways to live rent-free by utilising house-sitting opportunities through platforms like Trusted House Sitters. Listeners are introduced to the concept of caring for pets while enjoying a beautiful home, all for a minimal annual fee.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• House Sitting Opportunity: You can live rent-free by house sitting for pet owners who are traveling. Websites like Trusted House Sitters connect you with homeowners looking for someone to care for their pets and property.
• Cost-Effective Solution: The annual fee for using house sitting services is relatively low (around £120), which is significantly cheaper than traditional rent prices, especially in areas like London.
• Diverse Pet Sitting Market: There is a niche market for pet sitting that goes beyond dogs and cats. Consider offering services for less common pets like rodents, reptiles, and even tropical fish, as many pet owners need care for these animals when they travel.
• Potential for Income: By combining house sitting with pet sitting services in the local area, you can create a full-time business model that allows you to live rent-free while also earning money.

 

BEST MOMENTS
"What I'm talking about is, there are lots of people who travel... and they want the peace of mind that their little doggies and little cats are kept safe."

"You can go on there, sign up, it's 120 pounds for the year... 120 quid rent free. Think about that."

"There's a real niche market there for people who... want to go away for a weekend; you could be a rodent sitter or pet sitter."

"If you can't find 10 customers in your area who need somebody to look after their rat or their cat or their dog, something is wrong here."

"Just because you're staying in someone's house, you can still look after other people's pets in the same area that could be your job."
