I doubt if it is against any rules. I could see a sitter asking for this if the HO asked the sitter to be there a day early and a day later, or if the sitter needed a hotel because the HO changed sit dates.

Ah, sure, that would make sense
We’ve had small, older dogs used to having someone at home and needing frequent potty breaks. We’ve also had applicants whose profiles made clear that their first priority was a vacation and not a pet sit. We rejected those applications. If it’s not a fit, both sides move on, but the whole point for HOs is trying to limit changes to the pet’s routine.
