With the rising cost of travel and accommodation in Ireland, finding affordable, comfortable, and flexible options has never been more important. Whether you're relocating, visiting family, or simply exploring a new county, MindMyHome.ie offers a cost-effective alternative that puts money back in your pocket—house sitting.
Let’s Break Down the Savings:
1. Accommodation Costs
Average hotel price in Ireland: €130–€180 per night
B&B rate: €90–€130 per night
MindMyHome.ie: €59 for subscription fee for the entire 12 months.
Potential Savings:
For a 2-week stay, that’s a saving of €1,260 to €2,520, depending on the type of accommodation avoided.
2. Meals and Dining
Hotels and B&Bs rarely include more than breakfast.
Eating out for lunch and dinner can cost upwards of €25–€40 per person per day.
With a house sit, you have access to a kitchen—cook your own meals, eat healthier, and save.
Estimated Savings:
Up to €400–€600 per person for a two-week stay.
3. Laundry and Amenities
Hotel laundry services can be pricey, often €10–€15 per load.
House sits can offer laundry facilities at no additional cost, plus extras like Wi-Fi, private gardens, and pet companionship.
4. Pet Boarding Costs (for sitters with pets)
Leaving your pets at kennels can cost €20–€30 per day per animal.
Many house sits are pet-inclusive, so if you're a sitter with pets of your own or love animals, it’s a win-win.
Total Potential Savings for a 2-Week Stay:
€1,700–€3,000 (or more), depending on your travel habits.
Bonus: Lifestyle Benefits
Stay in a real home with privacy and comfort.
Enjoy a local experience in residential areas, not just tourist zones.
Build meaningful connections with homeowners and animals.
