Couple in their 50s travel the world as pet sitters - don't pay rent and spend around £10,000 a year between them

A couple sold almost all of their worldly possessions so they can travel the world and pet sit. Julie and Jonathan Ashworth both agree they're living the dream after finding a job they both absolutely love.

They get to stay in some wonderful home all over the globe for free, while the owners travel and can have peace of mind that their pets are being looked after. The international pet sitters have cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, sheep, ducks and chickens.

Julie and Jonathan have lived in nine countries since 2017, including America, Australia, Thailand and Spain. The couple - who run an online holiday rental business – estimate they spend £10,000 a year between them.
