I wasn't talking about house sitters though Losos. From what I gather the organisation I posted about send people to come and "borrow" your dog. They take it away for a while, not house-sit.
Personally, I wouldn't allow it either way, not to strangers anyway.

I bet they don't do criminal record checks, actually they can't because of all this data protection stuff. I bet they don't do financial checks either.In fact all they can do is ASK the person wanting to 'house sit' for an address and phone number and that's about it.
And then when the owner comes back and finds the place a tip they complain, unbelievable. Yes, of course most deals probably go OK but knowing my luck it would be the tennent from hell who moved in. Don't want or need that kind of aggro now thank you.
The company probably charges the owner money for the dog walking and the dog walker a fee for walking the dog.
Sounds like money for old rope.
