Would you pay to live in a stranger's house and take care of their pet?
Since TrustedHousesitters was founded in 2010, that's been the idea behind the site: for the price of an annual membership (which starts at $129), you can apply for unlimited "house sits" around the world.
Users don't get paid for pet sitting beyond the free place to stay, but the membership pays off quickly, especially if you think of the sits as a way to skirt the cost of Airbnbs, hotels or even rent. Videos boasting some of the site's opportunities, like a week-long stay at a hunting lodge in Scotland or a chicken-and-dog-watching gig in the south of France, are popular among viewers who are dreaming of cutting travel costs.
