This is kinda happening already.

In the past house sitting was always a service performed in exchange for accommodation.

However, I hear that recently it's becoming more and more common for owners to collect rent.

I don't think that's necessarily greedy owners (although there are plenty of those), it's more of an indicator of how high demand is.

If you're paying to housesit then it is just an Airbnb with extra rules.
