I have a single spare bedroom in my property (bungalow). I have two dogs both of whom have mild separation anxiety- no damage etc but barking but who are otherwise lovely dogs. I’m worried about annoying my neighbours with the barking as well as the distress for the dogs. I am continuously working / training with the dogs to be able to leave the dog's. I work from home and don’t really go out too often but when I do, I’m very concerned about the situation and finding I’m going out less and less. I’m single. And I must say, I do like living alone. However, I’ve pondered the idea of “renting” my spare bedroom (single room) to a person who may want to establish a career working with dogs / animals and as this can be poorly paid in some circumstances, they may want to find cheap accommodation. They may be young and starting out. They would pay half towards all bills but no rent or a very small amount. In return for no rent charge, I would ask for the occasional dog sitting likely perhaps 4 hours a week sporadically and a day once a month or so to allow me to socialise with friends or an evening to go out to dinner for example. I could hire a dog sitter but my life feels like I pay out all the time and Im looking for solutions to recoup and spend less, not pay out more. Finanaces are tight for me. I’d be interested in hearing people’s views and thoughts on this idea. Thank you.
