Has anyone had success with house/pet sitting as a way to find short-term accommodation? What apps have you used? For how long?

I’m more of a slowmad myself, so finding short-term rentals can be quite pricey or overall difficult for furnished places of 3-5 months / less than a year, that aren’t Airbnbs. I also imagine getting someone to trust a new user of the app would be quite difficult. I’m looking into all my options, just curious if anyone has tried it and has found success.

    This is great intel.

    When you say to vet the homeowner, do you have any methods in particular? Are the sitters able to review the homeowners as well? I feel the same goes with Airbnb, if you don’t do your due diligence and research the listing and have problems, customer service is a nightmare.

    And wow, 3 months, that’s amazing. I wonder how common those types of sits are.

    Definitely going to look more into this one and give it a go
