Shared Homes, Shared Benefits
Why Live Alone When You Can Live Better Together?
Home Sweet Homeshare is a chore-for-housing home sharing solution for senior homeowners who want to age-in place and affordable housing for younger working professionals.
In short, for seniors, we turn that spare bedroom into reliable monthly income, cordial living companion, and help with household chores.
For working professionals, we offer affordable housing in desirable locations in nice homes.
As a senior homeowner, you've worked hard to build a comfortable life for yourself. Now, let your home work for you.
By welcoming a housemate through Home Sweet Homeshare, you can earn a minimum of $600 per month, providing a valuable source of supplemental income to help cover expenses, indulge in hobbies, or simply enjoy a little extra financial freedom in your retirement years.
Maintaining a home can become increasingly challenging as we age.
With Home Sweet Homeshare, you can find a housemate who will contribute 10 hours of household assistance each week.
From light housekeeping and meal preparation to gardening and errands, your housemate will lend a helping hand, making daily life more manageable and enjoyable. Say goodbye to the burden of household chores and hello to more time for the activities you love.

We understand that you may have questions or concerns about homesharing, and we're here to provide the information you need to make an informed decision. Here are some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners:
How much control do I have over selecting my housemate?
You have complete control over who you choose to homeshare with. Our platform allows you to review potential housemates' profiles, communicate with them directly, and make a decision based on your own preferences and comfort level. You'll never be pressured to accept a housemate you don't feel comfortable with.
What if I'm not satisfied with my housemate?
In the rare event that you're not satisfied with your housemate, our team is here to help. We offer mediation services and support to help resolve any conflicts or issues that may arise.
If a resolution cannot be reached, we'll work with you to find a new housemate match that better suits your needs.
How does Home Sweet Homeshare ensure the safety and security of its users?
We take safety and security seriously. All potential housemates undergo thorough background checks, in-person interviews, and reference checks before being approved for our platform. Additionally, our secure payment processing system and customizable homesharing agreements provide added protection for both homeowners and housemates.
Can I set my own house rules for my housemate?
Absolutely! As a homeowner, you have the right to establish clear guidelines and expectations for your housemate. During the homesharing agreement process, you'll have the opportunity to discuss and outline your house rules, such as quiet hours, guest policies, and shared space usage. Our team will help you create a customized agreement that ensures both you and your housemate are on the same page and comfortable with the living arrangement.
What if my health needs change and I require more assistance than my housemate can provide?
At Home Sweet Homeshare, we understand that your health needs may evolve over time. While our platform is designed for seniors who are able to age in place with minimal assistance, we recognize that circumstances can change.
If you find yourself requiring more extensive support than your housemate can offer, our team will work with both parties to terminate the living arrangements as quick as possible. We'll do our best to help you transition everyone smoothly.
