Former Police Detective gave up 'murder squad' career in turn for international house sitting gig, and is saving on her cost of living majorly while travelling the world
A woman who decided to quit her job as a murder investigator to become a full-time house sitter, and now travels the world rent free taking care of people’s homes and pets, is saving around £1,500 a month with no bills to pay as a result.
The pair, who housesit for a minimum of one month at a time via the website trustedhousesitters.com, estimate that their house-jumping lifestyle is saving them around £1,500 a month as they do not pay rent or bills, most of which they spend on more travelling. Jessica, who has always been interested in crime, studied criminology at Swansea University before going backpacking with her then boyfriend, Thomas, around the world.
“I did a variety of roles, starting in crime prevention and made my way into investigations which was jokingly called the murder squad,” she said.But Jessica’s passion for travel did not diminish.“Even though I really loved my job, I wanted to go travelling again.” “We’ve had a few hilarious times on sits where like the sheep managed to escape from their paddock, and it took hours and hours for us to herd them back with the help of a neighbour.
“We actually took the dogs and stayed at my parents in law’s house on Christmas Eve which homeowners were completely happy with”.“There are mansions or places with acres and acres of land, with lakes and things,” she said.“So if you want to go to New York for a week and you don’t mind looking after a cat you can get accommodation next to Central Park for free.
