I finally stopped booking hostels and tried house-sitting for a month

Saved $400 on accommodation in Portland last fall just by watching someone's cat while they were away, has anyone else found hidden gems through house-sitting sites?

Wait, did you use TrustedHousesitters or a different site? I did something similar in Denver for two weeks (just had to water plants and feed a grumpy rabbit) and it honestly changed how I travel. That savings is no joke, especially when you factor in how much pet food costs versus hotel rates.

My friend Sarah used TrustedHousesitters in Austin for a cat... saved over $800 @john_hunt2.
