Chloe Cavv, from Scotland, took to social media to reveal how she makes £75 an hour.
The blonde beauty shared that she became a dog walker, which soon turned into her full-time income.
In the clip, she said: "How much I made today as a dog walker."
Chloe said she only worked from 8am to 3pm, which is less than the average nine-hour day and gets you home in time for the school run.
As Chloe does group dog walks for different clients, she is able to make £75 in just one hour.
She later revealed that while she did get qualifications like dog first aid, pet sitting and dog walking online, they weren't essential to get started.
"You don't actually need it to be honest! But it's great background knowledge to have."
In total, Chloe was able to make £212 in six hours, over 50% of what the average person makes in the UK, which is £94.55 after tax.
The dog walker admitted that she could definitely take more clients on if she wanted, but decided she wanted a better work/life balance.
She wrote: "I probably could add more, but I've learned the hard way that an easier life/less greed is the way forward.
I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets - I don't get paid but I'm so happy
"Less stress, I've got my steady clients now."
The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @chloecavv with over 927k views and people were quick to share their thoughts.
Many were stunned at how much she got paid, especially when it looked like so much fun.
One person wrote: "Not bad that for a few hours of fun, that's not work, love it."
Another commented: "That's brilliant! I know how much work goes into it though I'd be so tired."
Side hustles in numbers
Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income.
Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024.
Those aged 24-42 aren't far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income.
Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one.
Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way.
"Best job ever! I'm really struggling to find fields to rent where I live, do you have any advice please?," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I want this life."
"Well done girl, dream job right there,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "Congratulations, you are doing what you love whilst earning a wage."

Advertisement "When I received the bracelet, I took it to the jewellers immediately in my area and yes, it's 100% authentic," Shannon explained in a video on her TikTok page. While it wasn't in the best condition when she bought it, she "gave it some TLC" and polished it up, and it sold for a whopping £500 within 24 hours. The Dior bracelet, which she got for £20 on Vinted, is currently still for sale. Following her own success on the site, Shannon is putting together an eBook of top tips so others can do the same.

The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it. Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017. More information here: "No one does Vinted like you," another praised. "Really impressive," a third praised. "I got a £290 Frederic Malle perfume from Vinted last week for £107 inc p&p," someone else wrote. "I was worried about it being fake but it was authenticated by the manufacturer, what a STEAL." 6 The Dior bracelet set her back just £20 Credit: tiktok/@shannelrosa Advertisement

I'm a ‘UC bandit' & love the £2.7k I get, I couldn't imagine working in an office or on a building site for minimum wage
A SELF-PROCLAIMED ''UC bandit'' has sparked fury after confessing he ''could not imagine working for minimum wage''. According to the latest figures, a whopping 8 million people in the UK are now claiming Universal Credit - with nearly half not expected to work. 3 Self-proclaimed 'UC bandit' Liam sparked fury after revealing he allegedly got a hefty UC payment this month Credit: tiktok/@xylevel 3 The TikToker proudly confessed he 'could not imagine sitting in an office or working on a building site for minimum wage' Credit: tiktok/@xylevel 3 In the month of July, Liam allegedly got a little over £2,100 - whilst this month the payment was over £2,700 Credit: tiktok/@xylevel New data reveals the July 2025 figure is the highest since UC launched in 2013, up from 6.9 million a year earlier. Amongst those fuelling Britain's benefits bill is also TikToker Liam, who recently received a hefty payment of over £2,700 in his bank account. According to Liam, who posts under the username @xylevel, his Universal Credit payment got bumped up by more than £600 from the previous month. Universal Credit is a payment to help with your living costs. According to the Gov website, it's paid monthly - or twice a month for some people in Scotland. Brits may be entitled to it if they're on a low income, out of work or you cannot work. Some 46 per cent are in the 'no work requirements' group — meaning they are not asked to find a job, often because of long-term sickness, caring duties, being over pension age or having a baby under one. The DWP says this share is continuing to increase and now covers 3.7 million people, overtaking jobseekers as the biggest group on the benefit. Only 34 per cent of people on UC were in work in June 2025, equal to 2.7 million claimants. However, while some UC claimants are working to boost their bank account, Liam proudly confessed he could never be one of them. I used to call anyone who worked 'dumb' - now I'm about to lose my £4.3k UC Showing off the huge sum of money he was about to receive, the ''UC bandit'' said in the video: ''Guys, I'm loving this free money. ''And it was so f*****g hot today as well - I could not imagine sitting in an office or working on a building site for minimum wage. ''That is just disgusting, guys. ''Big up Universal Credit,'' he said in the clip, which has racked up close to a staggering 600k views in just one day, sparking fury. Am I entitled to Universal Credit? According to the GOV website, if you're on a low income or need help with your living costs, then you could be entitled to Universal Credit. To claim, you must live in the UK, be aged 18 or over (with some exceptions if you're 15 to 17), be under State Pension age, and have £16,000 or less in money, savings and investments. Other circumstances are if you are out of work, or unable to work, for example because of a health condition. Almost 1,000 people flooded to comments, where Liam came under fire. One furious viewer said: ''Just what u wanna see after working in the sun all day cheers mate enjoy.'' Another person chimed in: ''That's a grand a month more than I get for working a 35hr week for the NHS.'' ''Picking up extra overtime to help you fella,'' a third joked. ''Absolute joke this government,'' someone else thought. Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
