HomeExchange: A lot more than house sitting

Enjoy sandy beaches in California without worrying about your plants wilting back in New York, let your host's dog give you a tour of the neighborhood, how does it all sound?

It's possible with HomeExchange, the #1 house exchanging community, with over 450,000 properties around the globe. This loyal community was started in 1992 and allows home owners and renters to connect on our platform to organize either a simultaneous swap where they house sit for one another, or earn GuestPoints by hosting Exchangers when they’re away. Points are then redeemable for future stays booked through the platform. Exchangers have even taken care of each other’s pets!

HomeExchange Reviews

Exchange stories from our members

Savings & Amenities

"Thanks to HomeExchange, we saved more than $30,000 last year on our travel. Our kids get to play with other kids' toys while we enjoy the amenities of a real house. We even adapted and traveled locally with COVID."

Erica - 25 exchanges

Trust & Respect

"We were initially a bit reluctant to host, but decided to trust the community and we were right to do so! Our guests have always been so respectful and HomeExchange was right there every step of the way if needed."

Thomas - 10 exchanges

Travels & Flexibility

"We get to travel the world! At first, we were worried that no one would want to exchange with us, but we quickly got in touch with other families! We also enjoy using the GuestPoints system for more flexibility."
