Emma Garner earns more than four times what she made sitting behind a desk at a national law firm. She works roughly a third of the hours. The difference is that her income now comes entirely from picking up dog poo in people's gardens across West and South Yorkshire.
Garner, 45, of Wakefield, runs The Dog Poo Professionals, a pet waste and care business she founded in 2014 and turned it into her full-time career two years later. She previously spent 11 years as a claims assessor at a law firm earning £20,000 ($26,500) a year. She now takes home a sum in the high five figures and has used the proceeds to buy a four-bedroom semi-detached house worth £195,000 ($258,000), Buckinghamshire Live reported.
