Homeowners are unburdened by 10 hours a week of light household tasks, and houseguests enjoy a substantial $800 reduction in their monthly rent. It's a win-win arrangement.
When a homeowner signs up they detail what tasks they want done each week and then we match them with a houseguest who is willing to do those tasks happily.
