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

Usually you pay someone to look after your house and pets when you're traveling for an extended period of time, not the opposite. I mean what if someone decided to rent the house for a month but said no to looking after the dog? They'd probably turn them down. They're looking for a free petsitter under the guise of "reduced" rent.
The average pay for a house sitter is $50 to $100 per day visit or $100 to $150 to stay overnight, according to Thumbtack. The exact pay for a house sitter per day will vary depending on where you live, how many pets you have, how long the sitter visits, and whether or not they perform additional responsibilities while in your home, such as collecting mail and carrying goods inside.

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.

People are seriously unbelievable. House sitting and dog sitting are both jobs 😭
-
I never heard of the job "house sitting"...
-
It's a thing- pick up the mail, make the house looked lived in to deter theft, etc

Last dog/house sitting job I got paid what these people are demanding someone pays them... people can be deluded. Their lovely townhome is pretty rough looking too...

-
Don't people usually PAY a house sitter?? 🤔
-
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.

Hey, i made that Reddit famous, you can't be stealing my biggest post.
I demand satisfaction via pistols at dawn!

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…

It's like a worse Trusted House Sitters

LOL!! Is ChoosingBeggars here yet?
