Can You Live in a Van and Pet Sit Full Time? Dawn Does.
Dawn got divorced at 57 and started pet sitting on the side. In six months she slept in her own apartment ten days. So she bought a van.
Now she's 60. She walked away from her nursing job and pet sits full time out of a 2021 Ram ProMaster with two beds, one of them for her 80 year old mom.
We talk mooch docking, $5 a night camping in the Pine Barrens, a gas heater that ran all night on about a gallon, a toilet that wraps everything up like a Diaper Genie, and the night she showed up at my house not knowing a soul. Plus, mahjong.
