If you've a mutual love of dogs and rent-free homes - then you're in luck.

Because there's a room up for rent in Belfast where payment comes in the simple form of looking after a person's dog while he's away.

The four-bed house was posted online, with the man looking for a willing tenant to live in the house for a few months.

The ad for the Donegall Road home was put up on Gumtree yesterday.

He works as a tour guide and will be out of the house until September, so needs someone to occupy the house and look after his dog.

The man said that the following duties came in return for looking after the dog, such as:

Walk her three/four times a day (20 minutes each time)

Feed her in the evening

Let her stay with you in the room (she has her own bed)

He explained: "There are pretty basic requirements as you can see. You could manage that easily having a part-time job. I won't consider anyone that works full-time.



"In exchange for this service, I'll cover your rent. You will still be required to pay your bills: gas, electricity and internet - about 25/30 quid a month during the summer period.

"I need someone that can fully commit and take full responsibility until September/October as I won't be able to come back during the summer months if anything happens."

The house is sharing with two other people - beginning from February/March.

The listing can be viewed here.
