I don’t see the problem. They rent out the house and if the renter is dog sitting they’ll get a discount..
Yeah, I'm not getting the issue with this one either. They're renting out their house for $40 a night, which is nothing, if the people are willing to watch the dog. If I wanted to stay in that area for a month, that seems like an affordable way to do it as long as the dog sitting expectations aren't excessive.
As someone else said, looking after people’s pets when they are on holiday is a job. They should pay you to do that, not you pay them.
You can pay people to pop round a few times a day to feed and walk the dog and then clean up after them. I’d imagine that adding an overnight stay to look after them would be more expensive too.
So they basically want you to pay them for the privilege of looking after their dog.
Yeah wtf this looks completely reasonable
I have no problem since it looks like they're just renting out the place...until
we'd like someone to stay for at least a month while we were gone
This is basically requesting someone to take care of their house.
Sounds like $40/night w/o dog, and $40 minus daily dog boarding cost/night with free dog. Depending on the local boarding cost, it might actually be free.
This looks like it should be the first post in a "choosingbeggars" lemmy community.
It's for a church honey!
Don't people usually PAY a house sitter?? 🤔
NEXT!
Hey, i made that Reddit famous, you can't be stealing my biggest post.
I demand satisfaction via pistols at dawn!
Lol, I yield, I yield! You gotta repost that here. It’s one of the funniest things ever!
It's like a worse Trusted House Sitters
Under different circumstances it might make more sense. Like if it was for 8 months at a fraction of regular rent rates. But to try to get a house sitter for 1 month to pay you $40 a night? The balls…
LOL!! Is ChoosingBeggars here yet?
