Regret not putting my house on AirBnB when I was away for 8 months!!!! It just sat there empty whilst I was still paying a mortgage!! 🤦🏾♀️ Never again, and it was because I was scared. Great tips!

I understand, it can be scary. I started slowly, first as a guest, then renting a sofabed (yep you could do that back at the beginning) so by the time I got to my whole house I was well versed. Next time 😉

Some great tips there 😊. I've just bought a motorhome and am considering air b&b when I get established at sitting. I've definitely got a fear of my home getting trashed if I'm honest 😮. Happy New Year ❤

Honestly there are so many warning signs and clues with undesirable guests. It really is easy to spot them. I have refused many bookings and it has never effected my calendar being full. I'd rather be over cautions and refuse a booking that may have turned out ok than take the risk. Most things in life come with some risk but it really is so rewarding.

@@Solo50plushow do you spot it? I mean on airbnb person does not provide too many details. Do you accept only people which already have past reviews?

Hmm, how do you handle cleaning, check in , check out, washing linens and so on when you are already abroad house sitting? Do you pay someone else to take care of your house when you rent it (or room in it)?

It would not be a good idea to set it up when you are already abroad. You would put everything in place BEFORE going abroad!

Do you have to have an air bnb license (AL) to rent out your place while you housesit? I live in the Algarve,
@Solo50plusКүн бұрын
In Portugal yes. But if you are renting a room only (shared space) you are exempt.

If you do a meet and greet beforehand you can check all those details out. That way if there is anything you don't like the sound of you can bypass the sit.

Perhaps with pets with health issues you could charge more. We have a very anxious toy poodle that is 16 years old. She only wants to be with me and and my husband. I would pay 50 a night for the person we fully trusted over any other sitter. She also did it in her home. She let her on the furniture, sleep in her bed with her, did all the things she did at home. She also did not take other pets on our days to reduce our pets stress. Worth every penny. We moved and totally miss her.

Would you house sit if you had your own pet as well?
@Solo50plus2 сағат бұрын
If you mean can people has sit with their pets then yes, some people do. Not so easy but possible. Some also get a house sitter for their own pets so they can go off house sitting!
