The test is happening now. Twitter picked South Africa first. The company sees a clear need for reliable house-sitting there. Many homeowners travel or work away often. Finding trustworthy people to watch homes is important.
Users can list their homes needing a sitter. Others can apply for these house-sitting jobs. Twitter helps check the people applying. The company wants to make matches safe and easy. Homeowners get peace of mind. Sitters get free accommodation in return for their help.
This service is part of Twitter’s larger plan. Twitter wants to offer more local community tools. Helping people find trusted help nearby fits this plan. The test in South Africa is small for now. Only some invited users can try it.
Twitter will watch how the test goes. The company will ask users for their thoughts. Feedback matters. Changes might happen before any wider launch. Twitter has not said when this might happen. The test is just starting.
The service uses Twitter’s existing systems. People use their regular Twitter accounts. This makes signing up simple. Twitter believes its platform can build trust between users. Safety features are a key focus. The company wants to avoid problems seen on other sites.
