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.
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.

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.
