Housesitting. Not Hotels.

Our Inspiration…Our User
“I CAN HAZ HOUSESITTING TOOL PLEASE”
I travel a lot
I prefer staying in apartments to staying in hotels
I hate imposing on friends
I randomly learn that a friend is out of town and I have the opportunity to housesit
I randomly learn that someone I trust is in Boston when I’m not and can get them to catsit/housesit
I am always begging for housesitters.
There has to be a better way of getting this information in our world of interconnectedness.
I want an application that lets me announce to my friends when I’m out of town and my apartment is vacant or when I need a housesitter.
