How to rent a dog, and get paid for it

Pet sitting.

Today we learned there’s an AirBnB for dogs which lets you find a temporary home for your pooch without going through pet hotels or the like. But where you pet owners may be seeing this as a good chance to get away, those of us who covet your adorable puppy see something else: puppy rental! And a rental you get paid for! You can sign up to be a dog host in your home through DogVacay, and you’ll get compensated: the site says rates start at $15 per night for pet owners, minus 5-10 percent service fee.

Rover.com has been in this business for a while now--ever since they won Startup Weekend last year--it's a great site. Love the idea!

Interesting spin on the situation haha. Although I'm not sure I would be able to "rent" out my Beagle to some strangers I never met before. Still sounds interesting though.
