Very good idea. You can search homes just like sitters can. Perhaps in your own area, so you can see how they present also your area, transport, sights etc.
You can read here on the site, for instance
5 common mistakes to avoid for a successful listing
And also, if you’d like input from the community here, you can link your listing to your forum profile:
How to add a listing or profile link to your Forum profile!
Some things that sitters look for and that many hosts don’t mention:
- Why should I want to go to your destination?
- How do I get there? What is the possibilities of public transport? Maybe something on how to get from airport?
- Beds: What bedrooms can we use? What sort of beds and how large? (Please use measurements and not full/ double/ queen and such, as the meaning differ). Some couples prefer separate bedrooms - so mention if possible.
- where does the pets sleep? Many avoid pets in beds/ bedrooms
- How long can the pets be left for outings. (4+ hours? 6+ hours?)
