It seems like a good opportunity at first. But you are paying to do labor. You will be working to take care of someone’s home and pets for free. And the owners are usually nice people, but they feel that they deserve the highest quality of care without paying you a dime. If you don’t want to use the app for a bit because you don’t have any travel plans they will delete your inactive account and all your reviews so you have to start over with nothing. It’s ridiculous. Use Rover instead or any other service where you are actually getting paid. The people running this app act like they are doing you a service, but really they are just pocketing all the money off your free labor. And you have to pay them for membership. Every if you never get accepted on a single booking. Because being chosen is not guaranteed at all. Screw this app and all the people behind it.
