Same here, I’ve dropped in for an advance meet and greet for a few local sits. For sits requiring more travel time, I have sometimes booked a room near the sit the night before, allowing me to meet the family or pets before the handoff. On a couple of occasions, I have stayed with the host the evening before an early departure. I would only be comfortable staying with the family if we had a nice video chat beforehand, and if the guest quarters offered a fair amount of separation and privacy.
