The test lets Peruvian users list their homes needing a sitter. Others can apply to stay there. The service connects homeowners directly with potential sitters. Twitter handles the communication on its platform.
This move follows Twitter exploring more local services. Housesittersperu is popular in Peru for matching sitters with homes. Twitter’s version copies this idea. But it uses Twitter’s large user base.
The test is small. Only some users in Peru see it now. People can post house sitting jobs. Sitters can search for these jobs. They talk and agree on details through Twitter messages. Payment happens outside Twitter currently.
Twitter aims to keep users on its app longer. Offering useful local tools is part of this plan. House sitting is a common need. A trusted platform could make it easier. Twitter sees an opportunity here.
Housesittersperu built a strong reputation in Peru. Twitter hopes its version gains similar trust. Users might feel safer using a known platform. The test will show if people trust Twitter for this service.
User feedback will guide the next steps. Twitter will watch how many people use it. They will see if problems happen. The company might expand the test. Or it might stop the service.
The service focuses on security. Users control who sees their listings. Communication stays on Twitter. But users must arrange safety checks themselves. Twitter offers no guarantees about the sitters.
