Tara Little

The only thing I spend my money on is my car expenses and my groceries.

My name is Tara Little.

I'm a full-time house sitter and a social media manager, and I live in Darwin, Australia.

I became a full-time house sitter when I moved to Darwin.

I was living with my sister and I was struggling to find work and I was paying my sister about $200 a week in rent, which honestly isn't that bad, but it's not great when you don't have a job.

So I started looking into house sitting.

I joined some Facebook groups and that's how I came into it.

Generally, I would say my average house sit is probably about two weeks.

Sometimes it's a couple of days.

Sometimes it's a few weeks.

I've had a house sit that was four months long.

There's almost always a pet.

It's just like feeding, walking them if they're a dog.

At the moment, the house that I'm at, the irrigation isn't on.

So they've got a very, very big garden.

So I'm watering like an entire jungle at the moment.

I've been house-sitting for over a year now.

I'll be really honest.

I don't rely on this entirely as my main source of income because I have a social media job as well.

But the only thing I spend my money on is my car expenses and my groceries.
