Alessia Armenise had lived in several flats around the UK capital – but barely pays a penny for the privilege, thanks to an app.

Alessia has been living in London rent-free for the last nine months Waking up in a plush bed in a spacious bedroom on the second floor of a London house, I felt the most relaxed I had in ages. There were windows overlooking a verdant garden, I could hear birds singing and a fluffy labradoodle soon rushed up the stairs to bid me good morning. Yes, this comfy abode had a lot to do with my renewed sense of zen. But the best part? This house didn’t come with a mortgage, rent or bills attached.

From there, we made sure to do a few pet sits that were easy for us to do all so we could get our first reviews. Gradually our reviews built up over time and before I knew it, three years of being on the app had passed. In that time we’ve spent weeks in Barcelona and Amsterdam with the only requirement being to look after some cute pets. We even spent a week in a gorgeous villa in Tuscany, working from the pool instead of our boiling-hot apartment.
