sits provably completed in Ventura in the last 12 months

at least 286 since 2016 · each one required a chosen sitter

Only 60 Ventura listings have resolved inside our measurement window so far — below the 100 we require before publishing a fill rate, where a proportion still carries a wide interval. Rather than print a number that would mostly be noise, this slot stays empty until the sample is real. What we can already say: at least 286 sits have provably completed in Ventura since 2016, 120 of them in the last 12 months — each one required a chosen sitter, so this market does fill, at a pace our 48-hour instrument hasn't yet measured. The supply and chaining figures below are counts, not estimates, and carry no such floor.

Common questions

Do house sits actually get filled in Ventura?

Yes — at least 286 sits have provably completed in Ventura since 2016, 120 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 Ventura full-time on house sits?

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.
