Pick your window. We chain the open sits that hand over cleanly inside it — computed right here, nothing sent anywhere.

The open listings chain into 43 consecutive housed days across 1 sit beginning 17 Oct. At least one sit is open on 59 consecutive days from today, which is the ceiling — those windows overlap and cannot all be taken.

Floors, not verdicts — fast-filling listings are the ones most likely to escape measurement, and these are 48-hour rates: a speed gauge, not eventual success; many sits fill after the window. How we measure →

Common questions

Will my pet-sitting listing get applicants in Munich?

Measured, not guessed: of 167 Munich listings watched from zero applications, 82% received at least two applications within 48 hours, and 32% reached the five-application cap. Both are floors — fast-filling listings are the ones most likely to escape measurement — and both are 48-hour rates: listings often keep drawing applications after the window we count.

Do house sits actually get filled in Munich?

Yes — at least 1,198 sits have provably completed in Munich since 2012, 382 of them ending in the last 12 months. A completion requires a chosen sitter, so every one had at least one real application. These are floors from listing histories, and they cannot be turned into a fill rate: sits that went unfilled leave no trace, so there is no denominator.

Can you live in Munich full-time on house sits?

Today's board chains into 43 consecutive housed days across 1 sit beginning 17 Oct. That is one bookable itinerary from live listings — it moves daily as sits are taken and posted.

How these figures are computed

Open sits — live listings with a current or future date window; a home with several windows counts once per window.

Applicants — the count reported on each open listing at last refresh.

Posting lead — days between a listing first appearing and its start date, median across open listings.

Gapless days — the longest bookable run of consecutive covered days assembled from open sits beginning within the next 90 days: no overlaps, each sit starting the day the previous one ends.

Full methodology — how these are measured, and what they cannot say.
