Wooow! It’s Fantastic solution, but I’ve never heard someone who uses this way. Only in one film I saw a similar situation,but in that occasion they switch their homes. For me it’s a little bit difficult to understand how people can trust to leave their house (with all their affections) to strangers?!?
Hey! I’m quite new about it but there are bunch of people even live in this way 🙂 First it seems crazy (like other tools we use, they seemed crazy at first and still seems for others) but when you search you see that there are contracts and payment bond is made between house owner and house sitter, so this makes the community trusty 🙂
