I don’t see the problem. They rent out the house and if the renter is dog sitting they’ll get a discount..
Yeah, I'm not getting the issue with this one either. They're renting out their house for $40 a night, which is nothing, if the people are willing to watch the dog. If I wanted to stay in that area for a month, that seems like an affordable way to do it as long as the dog sitting expectations aren't excessive.
As someone else said, looking after people’s pets when they are on holiday is a job. They should pay you to do that, not you pay them.
You can pay people to pop round a few times a day to feed and walk the dog and then clean up after them. I’d imagine that adding an overnight stay to look after them would be more expensive too.
So they basically want you to pay them for the privilege of looking after their dog.
If you needed to stay in the area, and liked dogs, it's a helluva deal.
You pay them rent on the place that you wanted in the first place, they pay you for dogsitting, it evens out to lower rent.
Obviously if you weren't looking to rent a place, it would be a shit deal. But that's not what this is about.
They could get someone to drop by and feed the dog a time or two a day for fairly cheap. Their house is apparently one they list on air b&b, and if wager for way more than $40 a night. So the pay is the giant reduction in cost. Financially, they would probably come out ahead if they put the dog in a kennel and rented out the house. Instead they're offering something else.
Wouldn't be desirable for everyone, but I bet there will be some who jump at it.
That's 1200 dollars.
They want someone to pay them rent to look after their dogs and house. It's ridiculous.
My reading was that the base price is $40/night, and there's a further discount for dogsitting. This sounds like an amazing deal.
I wonder if some people are mad about this because they read it as "please come take care of my stuff, and pay me for it". I read it as "Do you want to rent in the area? I am willing to give you a steep discount if you also take care of my dog."
Usually you pay someone to look after your house and pets when you're traveling for an extended period of time, not the opposite. I mean what if someone decided to rent the house for a month but said no to looking after the dog? They'd probably turn them down. They're looking for a free petsitter under the guise of "reduced" rent.

Yeah wtf this looks completely reasonable
I have no problem since it looks like they're just renting out the place...until
This is basically requesting someone to take care of their house.
